SpeciﬁcaƟons

730.32 Can lever Signal Supports (Devia ons from the TDOT speciﬁca on are noted in the speciﬁca on

as underlined or strike through)

This Subsec on applies to the manufacture of steel poles and mast arms for the support of traﬃc signals.

The height of poles, sha dimensions and wall thickness shall meet the design requirements and

moun ng height of traﬃc signals as set forth in these Speciﬁca ons and shown on the Plans. The Plans

indicate bracket arm lengths.

Signal poles and arms shall be uniformly tapered, cylindrical or ﬂuted, if speciﬁed in the plans. If

ﬂuted is not speciﬁed in the plans, they shall be cylindrical, and mul -sided poles will not be

acceptable.

Furnish poles consis ng of a straight or uniformly tapered sha , cylindrical or octagonal in cross-sec on,

having with a base welded to the lower end and complete with anchor bolts. All cas ngs shall be clean

and smooth with all details well deﬁned and true to pa ern. Steel cas ngs shall conform to ASTM A27,

Grade 65-35. Gray iron cas ngs shall conform to ASTM A126, Class A.

All mast arms shall be compa ble with the poles in material, strength, shape, and size.

A. Anchor Base

Secure an anchor base of one-piece cast steel or steel plate of adequate strength, shape, and

size to the lower end of the sha . Place the base so as to telescope the sha , and weld at the

top and bo om faces with con nuous ﬁllet welds so that the welded connec on develops the

full strength of the adjacent sha sec on to resist bending ac on. Provide each base with a

minimum of four holes to receive the anchor bolts. Provide cast steel bases with removable cast

iron covers for anchor bolts and tapped holes for a aching covers with hex head cap screws.

Provide a welded frame handhole, 5 x 8 inches minimum and located with a clear distance above

the base of no less than the pole diameter, “D.” Weld a 1/2-inch 13 UNC grounding nut to the

inside of the pole at a point readily accessible for wiring. An addi onal hand hole shall be

required at the signal mast arm, if the pole extends more than 1 foot above the top of the mast

arm ﬂange.

B. Sha

Fabricate sha s from the best, hot-rolled basic open hearth steel. The sha shall have only one

longitudinal electrically welded joint and may have electrically welded intermediate transverse

full penetra on circumferen al joints, at intervals of not less than 10 feet. The sha shall be

longitudinally cold-rolled to ﬂa en the weld and increase the physical characteris cs so that the

metal will have a minimum yield strength of 48,000 pounds per square inch. Where transverse

full penetra on circumferen al welds are used, the sha fabricator shall furnish to the Engineer

cer ﬁca on that: (1) all such welds have been radiographed and ultrasonically tested by an

independent tes ng laboratory using a qualiﬁed Nondestruc ve Tes ng (NDT) technician and (2)

the NDT equipment has been calibrated annually.

An extension to the sha shall be provided for a street light luminaire(s) to be mounted at the

height above the roadway speciﬁed in the plans; if no height is speciﬁed , it will be 35’ above the

roadway.

Fit the sha with a removable pole cap, a J-hook wire support welded inside near the top, and a

ﬂange plate assembly to match that welded to the bu end of the mast arm, and add a J-hook at

all loca ons where a mast arm is located.

When a decora ve post top ﬁxture for ligh ng is noted in the plans, a tenon mee ng the

luminaire manufacturer’s speciﬁca ons shall be provided to install the ﬁxture or crossarm and

access shall be provided at the arm for signal cable installa on.

If a ﬂuted sha is speciﬁed, the ﬂutes shall be uniform, equally spaced, and well deﬁned.

C. Mast Arms

Provide mast arms fabricated and cer ﬁed in the same manner as the upright sha s or as

speciﬁed in the plans and that have the same physical characteris cs.

The mast arms shall meet the design requirements necessary to support rigidly mounted traﬃc

signals as shown on the Plans. All arms shall include a removable cap at the p, grommeted wire

outlets, and signal hanger assemblies of the type and number shown on the Plans, and a ﬂange

plate welded to the bu end to provide a rigid connec on to the mast. The assembly shall be

constructed so that all wiring can be concealed internally.

Connect mast arms to the upright pole at a height necessary to provide a minimum clearance of

16 feet 6 inches and a maximum clearance of 19 feet under the traﬃc signal heads. Install

separate signal heads to provide the same clearance.

If a ﬂuted arm is speciﬁed, the ﬂutes shall be uniform, equally spaced, and well deﬁned.

If a curved arm(s) shown or speciﬁed in the plans, it shall be smooth unless speciﬁed to be

ﬂuted.

If street light mast arms are speciﬁed in the plans, they shall be provided as shown in the plans.

Standard street light mast arms have a 6’ rise above the a achment point at the sha and shall

be long enough to posi on the luminaire over the edge of the lane for the approach which it is

to illuminate. The plans may call for mul ple street light arms on some sha s.

D. Finish

Galvanize steel poles, mast arms, and hardware in accordance with ASTM A123.

Galvanize all steel and cast iron components, hardware, and threaded fasteners, except anchor

bolts, a er fabrica on in accordance with ASTM A123, or A153 or A385, as applicable.

When painted poles are speciﬁed, the color shall be approved by the City prior to submi ng the

ﬁnal order. Painted ﬁnishes shall be powder coated by, or under the supervision of the

manufacturer over a galvanized surface with a powder coat paint that is resistant to fading or
