Simple and cost effective! The most common method and biggest advantage for installing a concrete pole is by direct embedment. The pole is placed into an augured hole lined with gravel then back filled with native soils, stone dust or cement. Depending on the soil conditions.

Advantages of direct embedment:

• Monetary – Eliminates the need for a costly anchor pole base footing.
• Time Savings – Faster installation, allowing more poles to be installed.
• Simple – No reliance on weather, form work, or pouring schedules.
• Appearance – No exposed base plates, or anchors bolts.
• Engineered – The pole and footing are continuous, forming a stronger structure.
• Environmental – Does not contaminate the soil, unlike direct buried wood poles which contain chemicals treatments.
• Landscaping – Weather it be grass, concrete or asphalt, the surrounding ground is finished right up to the pole.
• Maintenance free – Can be placed into the ground without the fear of rust or rot.
