Heavy-Duty Galvanized Steel Structure for Extreme Weather
Our lighting poles and structural supports are engineered for safety, stability, and long-lasting performance, forming the backbone of your solar stadium lighting system. Designed to seamlessly integrate with LED floodlights, solar panels, lithium batteries, solar controllers, and smart IoT monitoring, these structures ensure optimal illumination, reliable energy distribution, and efficient remote management. With fast modular installation and excellent wind resistance, they complete the six-core Solar Lighting Solutions framework, providing a solid foundation for high-performance stadium lighting.
Manufactured using high-tensile Q235/Q345/Q460 steel, our stadium high mast poles are built to survive the harshest environments on earth. From salty coastal winds to desert sandstorms, our multi-layer protection system guarantees a 50-year structural lifespan.
Site-Specific Wind Load & Structural Calculations
We use ANSI/TIA-222-G standards to calculate the precise pole thickness.
• CAD Simulation: Tests stress points from solar panel weight.
• Safety Factor: Engineered with a 1.25x margin for Category 5 hurricanes (300km/h).
Advanced Anti-Corrosion: Hot-Dip Galvanization
Rust is the enemy. We apply a dual-layer defense for a 50-year lifespan.
• Hot-Dip Galvanization: Immersed in molten zinc (ASTM A123) to bond with steel.
• Powder Coating: A final UV-resistant finish against salt spray.
Integrated Solar-Ready Design & Maintenance
Unlike street poles, ours are designed for the solar era.
• Internal Routing: Protects wiring from weather and vandalism.

Installation Site Requirements & Environmental Pre-check
To ensure optimal performance and structural safety over the 25-year lifespan, the installation site must meet the following environmental criteria before construction begins:
1. Solar Access (Obstruction-Free) The installation site must be clear of tall trees, buildings, or other structures that could shade the solar panels, ensuring maximum daily sunlight exposure for efficient charging.
2. Site Drainage The ground level must have adequate natural or engineered drainage. The area immediately surrounding the pole base should be free from standing water or persistent puddling after rain.
3. Flood Risk Mitigation If a river, pond, or low-lying water body is within 10 meters of the site, the lowest point of the concrete foundation must be elevated above the 50-year historical flood level.
4. Underground Utilities Survey Before any excavation, the site must be surveyed to ensure no public utilities (power cables, fiber optics, gas pipes) are buried beneath the foundation area to prevent hazardous construction accidents.
Foundation & Anchor Bolt Specifications
The structural integrity of a lighting pole is determined by hidden details. Unlike competitors who use single-side welding, LEDSportX prioritizes:
- Double-Sided Welding: Full penetration welding to prevent cracking.
- Heavy-Duty Flange: Calculated width to match the torque of the pole shaft.
- Surface Treatment: Hot-Dip Galvanization (Standard) + UV Resistant Powder Coating.
- High-Strength Bolts: We use Grade 6.8 / 8.8 anchor bolts for all High Mast structures.

Engineering Note: 1. “PCD” refers to the Pitch Circle Diameter of the flange holes. 2. Foundation depth may vary based on local Soil Bearing Capacity (SBC). The above data assumes standard cohesive soil. 3. For coastal areas (Typhoon Zones), we recommend increasing the foundation volume by 20%.
Project FAQ & Support
From initial wind load calculations to final installation guidance, LEDSportX supports you at every stage. Here are the answers to common inquiries from our global partners about customization and technical support.
No special truck is needed. We use a Slip-Joint (Telescopic) Design. A 30m pole is typically divided into 3 or 4 sections (each < 11.8m). These sections are "nested" inside each other (like Russian dolls) to fit perfectly into a standard 40ft High Cube Container. This design saves over 60% on ocean freight costs compared to flanged connections.
Yes. We provide a full Structural Calculation Report free of charge. This includes Wind Load analysis based on ANSI/TIA-222-G or your local code, foundation stress analysis, and pole shaft deflection ratios. Just provide your site's "Basic Wind Speed" and "Soil Type."
Absolutely. Since we manufacture from raw steel plates, we can weld custom mounting brackets at any height. Common requests include:
Lightning Rods (Top tip)
CCTV Camera Brackets (Mid-pole)
4G/5G Antenna Mounts
Anti-Climbing Spikes Please specify the weight and wind area of your equipment when ordering.
We provide comprehensive support in three tiers:
Standard: Detailed installation manuals and foundation drawings (Free).
Remote Guidance: Video conference support with our engineers during assembly.
On-Site Supervision: For large stadium projects, we can dispatch a technical engineer to your site to supervise your local team (Daily rates + travel expenses apply).
