The whole responsibility of the installation and the erection lies with the installer and includes material, non-material or others risks consecutive or non-consecutive.

PHOTO 2 Wood supporting pieces to be put for heightening and aligning the sections. Lifting crane to be used for positioning and aligning the sections on the wood supporting pieces (capacity superior to the heaviest section). Crane and slings/steel chain strong enough for erecting the pole on the foundation block according to the procedure defined by the crane driver during the site survey.
covered with a tape during concrete pouring operation to avoid damages of anchor bolt threads. Install one nut to each anchor bolt and tighten them according to the thickness of the base plate, considering the height of the nut to be attached above to connect base plate with leaving enough space above. (PHOTO 3 )
PHOTO3 Balance level on the all the nuts with a spirit level and thus, establish the first reference for the perpendicularity of the pole to be installed. Mark minimum and maximum splice lengths by a marker or sticky tape on the body. Splice lengths are specified in drawings or calculation notes. (PHOTO 4).

Start assembling with base section. It is important to position the appropriate side facing up considering installation of the accessories to be connected. Install male section into female section as much as possible by use of crane. It may be required to use a

sledgehammer to help fit the sections together. Do not hit the pole itself, put a piece of wood. After fitting the sections, check visually the straightness of the sections, and arrange level of wooden wedges as well. (Photo 5).

Use jacking lugs welded on pole sections to install hydraulic jack in order to fit male and female sections together properly. Flat sides of sections shall be connected properly. Force from hydraulic jack shall be applied on both sides. Do not stop when you have only reached the theoretical lengths (Photo 6 and assembly information below)

Do not forget to install safety turnbuckles between shafts (Photo 8) to prevent shafts from slip off when lifting the pole OR attach a safety sling from the level where the pole will be lifted by the main crane to the base plate of the pole. ( PHOTO 9 )

Before lifting the pole, connect ropes suitable for the length of the pole from opposite crossarms tips, in order to position the holes of base plate to coincide with anchor bolts and to control and guide the pole. Now lifting of pole can start. As the main crane lifts the pole, the second crane will make the lower part approach the pole to the foundation. ( PHOTO 11 )

When the pole becomes in vertical position, lower part of pole will be approached to the foundation without lifting from the ground too much. As direction of the lower section will determine the direction of line, turn it to the appropriate direction and lower it slowly and carefully onto the anchor bolts. Site supervisor should direct the crane operator to position the holes of base plate coinciding with the anchor bolts. Use also the ropes connected to the cross arms in carrying out this operation. Lower the body on the pre-leveled nuts. Check the perpendicularity of the pole visually as well and tighten all the first nuts on base plate and then tighten second nuts (contra nuts) in order to prevent first nuts from becoming loose.

PHOTO 12 Remove all the slings/steel chain connecting the pole to the crane and connected to the cross arms to direct the pole. These operations can be carried out either using the ladder on the pole or basket of the crane After final leveling the pole with leveling nuts, fill up the empty space between the base plate and the foundation block with special concrete for finishing; keep a hole for air and water flow.

6-WARNINGS:
The Staff who works at high altitude should work with safety belts. There should not be unauthorized and irrelevant people in the field of assembly. The Staff should wear helmet against substances which may fall down during assembly.
