[RE-wrenches] pole mounts

[Dave Palumbo]

Todd,

 

We add concrete inside of our steel pipe masts, up to grade level, in the interest of having more weight below ground level. I wouldn’t say that it made the pipe stronger (that better be strong enough as is) but more weight down low will help keep it rooted in a big wind event.

Wrenches,

 

Fact or fiction: Adding concrete to the inside of a pole mount pipe makes it stronger.

 

Thanks,

 

Todd
