INSTANT FOUNDATION™ System Anchors for Lighting & Construction UsesDescription
Non-extendable INSTANT FOUNDATION™ anchors are produced with high-strength pipe shaft for resistance to bending moments and installion torque. They often can be installed through macadam surfaces.
Typical applications are parking lots, street and highway lighting, architectural lighting, sign and column supports and building foundations.
Digger-derrick trucks and other such conventional rotary equipment are ideal for installing these foundation anchors.
For an elevated light standard, anchor penetration is stopped at the desired base height. Power conduit is fed into the side cableway and out the baseplate, a tubetype form of the same above-grade height may be placed around the exposed shaft to encase all but the baseplate in poured-concrete barrier, as with other methods.
To place a light standard on-grade, drive the foundation to full depth. Then excavate to the cableway and insert the power conduit up through the baseplate.
Environment-Enhancing Applications DescriptionHELICAL PIER® Foundation Systems and HS INSTANT FOUNDATION anchors principally are used in these applications.
Moorings for harborsTo keep chains off fragile ecosystems as an alternative to the harmful scouring of habitat by conventional weights, complete system presents other benefits:
- Reduces scoping length of chain
- Allows more boats per harbor
- Dependable positioning
- Predictable, verifiable capacity
- Installs from water suface
- Retrievable, reusable
Pipelines and storage tanksSpecial bracket and fittings combine with anchors to overcome buoyancy and provide support, considering tension and compression loads.
Telephone stations and bumpersINSTANT FOUNDATION anchors install fast, even through blacktop. Baseplates available for bolt-up to many phone brands. Bumper Post anchors can be installed at the same time for traffic guards.
Walkway-support systemBeam-Seat bracket with 12" long steel pipe sleeves 1 1/2" Square Shaft anchor. Bracket's 7"-wide flanges adjust as wide as 3 1/2" to mount to lateral beams for deck structures. Advantages give access to sensitive wetland areas with minimal disturbance:
- Transfers loads to bearing strata
- Isolates structure from seasonal changes
- Modular lead and extension sections
- Portable hand-held installation equipment
CATV stations, microwave towers, solar-collector panelsWithout delays for weather or concrete, this equipment can be immediately on-line for service after bolt-up on INSTANT F0UNDATION anchor supports.
