letter for technical assistance from manufacturer of Octagonal Poles with bid documents. This may not
be applicable if manufacturer themselves is a bidder.

The Octagonal Poles manufacturer should have in-house civil, structural and product design facilities and
the shaft is to be manufactured from ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OSHAS 18001 certified factory taking care
of all aspects of design, quality, environment and safety. The manufacturer of Octagonal Poles must have
minimum 12 years of manufacturing experience.

The Luminaries & accessories (lamp, ballast) supplied must be of the same brand as of Octagonal Pole
and shall have their own in-house testing facilities for testing of photometry, other electrical and
mechanical parameters of luminaries with facilities to prepare illumination design for outdoor areas.

The poles have to be manufactured by CNC Controlled plasma sheet cutting and bending machine and
fully Automated Submerged arc welding machine for longitudinal welding of shaft and welding to be
carried out by experienced and certified welders.

Manufacturer should have in house test facility to test Pole as per BSEN 40-2-1 & 3 and submit steel test
certificate showing silicon content less than 0.04%. Structural calculation of Poles should be vetted from
reputed institute like IIT or structural consultant.

Poles, bracket, foundation bolts, and fixture should be of one make. Test certificate of steel manufacturer
and Pole manufacturer specifying grade of steel used for Poles.
 Detail specifications of Galvanized Octagonal poles

Design: The Octagonal Poles shall be designed to withstand the maximum wind speed as per IS 875. The
top loading i.e. area and the weight of fixtures are to be considered to calculate maximum deflection of
the pole and the same shall meet the requirement of BSEN 40-2- 1 & 3.

Pole Shaft: The pole shaft shall be made from sheet steel confirming to BSEN 10025 having yield strength
of 355 N/sqm and silicon content less than 0.04%. The pole shaft shall have octagonal cross section and
shall be continuously tapered with single longitudinal welding. There shall not be any circumferential
welding. The welding of pole shaft shall be done by Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process.
All octagonal pole shafts shall be provided with the rigid flange plate manufacture from MS FE410
confirming to IS:2062 of suitable thickness with provision for fixing 4 foundation bolts. This base plate
shall be fillet welded to the pole shaft at two locations i.e. from inside and outside. The welding shall be
done as per qualified MMAW process approved by Third Party Inspection agency.

Door opening: The octagonal Poles shall have door of approximate 500 mm length at the elevation of 500
mm from the Base plate. The door shall be vandal resistance and shall be weather proof to ensure safety
of inside connections. The door shall be flush with the exterior surface and shall have suitable locking
arrangement. There shall also be suitable arrangement for the purpose of earthing.
The pole shall be adequately strengthened at the location of the door to compensate for the loss in
section.

Welding: The welding shall be carried out confirming to approve procedures duly qualified by third party
inspection agency. The welders shall also be qualified for welding the octagonal shafts.

Pole sections: The Octagonal Poles shall be in single section (upto 12 mtr). There shall not be any
circumferential weld joint.

Galvanization: The poles shall be hot dip galvanized as per BSEN ISO 1461 standard with average coating
thickness of 70 micron. The galvanizing shall be done in single dipping.

Fixing Type: The Octagonal Poles shall be bolted on a pre-cast foundation with a set of four foundation
bolts for greater rigidity.

Top Mountings: The galvanized mounting bracket shall be supplied along with the Octagonal Poles for
installation of the luminaries.

Pole Testing Facility: The Manufacturing unit shall have in house pole testing facility for validation for
structure design data. The Pole testing facility shall be as per BSEN 40 – 2 1 & 3.
