Repair Damaged Light Pole Anchor Bolts Without Replacing the Entire Footing

Damaged, corroded, or unusable anchor bolts can complicate light pole replacement projects. However, replacing the entire concrete footing may not always be necessary.

The Pre-Engineered Drill & Epoxy Anchor Bolt Kit from Light Pole Systems provides threaded anchor rods, fastening hardware, and structural anchoring adhesive for applicable light pole foundation repairs.

Available in AT.75 (3/4-inch) and AT1 (1-inch) configurations, these kits are intended for projects where new anchor bolts must be installed into an existing concrete foundation.

When the footing is structurally suitable and the installation meets approved engineering requirements, drill-and-epoxy anchoring may provide an alternative to complete foundation replacement.

Learn more about the process in our guide: How to Install Anchor Bolts in Existing Concrete.

When Should You Use a Drill & Epoxy Anchor Bolt Kit?

A drill-and-epoxy anchor bolt installation may be appropriate when:

  • Existing anchor bolts are severely corroded, damaged, or otherwise unsuitable for reuse.
  • A replacement light pole requires a new anchor bolt configuration.
  • Existing anchor bolts cannot safely support the proposed installation.
  • The concrete footing is structurally sound and suitable for modification.
  • The project engineering permits new adhesive-set anchor rods.

Not every anchor bolt problem requires new anchors. If the existing bolts are structurally sound but do not match the replacement pole base plate, a Light Pole Anchor Bolt Adapter may provide a simpler solution.

If the existing bolts are structurally sound but too short, consider our Light Pole Thread Extenders instead.

Choose the Right Anchor Bolt Kit: AT.75 vs. AT1

Light Pole Systems offers two drill-and-epoxy anchor bolt kit configurations.

The appropriate kit depends on the required anchor rod diameter, light pole mounting configuration, foundation conditions, and approved engineering specifications.

Before choosing a kit, review How to Measure Light Pole Anchor Bolt Size to understand the difference between 3/4-inch and 1-inch anchor bolts.

What’s Included in the Drill & Epoxy Anchor Bolt Kit?

Each kit includes the primary components for its anchor rod configuration.

Threaded Anchor Rods

Threaded steel rods designed to establish new anchor connections within an existing concrete foundation when permitted by the approved anchoring design.

Heavy-Duty Nuts and Washers

Fastening hardware used to secure the light pole base plate to the installed anchor rods.

Simpson Strong-Tie SET-3G Anchoring Adhesive

Structural adhesive intended for qualifying anchoring applications when installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable engineering requirements.

Kit quantities and detailed dimensions should be verified using the final AT.75 or AT1 specification sheet.

What’s Included in the Drill & Epoxy Anchor Bolt Kit?

Installing new adhesive-set anchors requires proper foundation evaluation, accurate drilling, and compliance with the approved installation design.

The following is a general overview, not a substitute for the required engineering and manufacturer installation instructions.

Step 1: Evaluate the Existing Concrete Foundation

Inspect the concrete footing for cracks, deterioration, damage, and other conditions that may affect structural suitability.

The existing concrete foundation must be evaluated before determining whether new anchors can be installed.

Step 2: Confirm the Required Anchor Bolt Pattern

Determine the required anchor positions based on the light pole base plate and approved project drawings.

Understanding the difference between bolt circle and bolt square is important when establishing accurate anchor locations.

For additional information, read How to Measure Light Pole Bolt Patterns: Bolt Circle vs. Bolt Square.

Step 3: Drill the Anchor Holes

Drill the required holes into the existing concrete foundation according to the approved anchor design.

Hole diameter, embedment depth, spacing, and edge distances must meet the applicable engineering and anchoring system requirements.

Step 4: Clean and Prepare the Holes

Remove dust and drilling debris following the anchoring adhesive manufacturer’s specified cleaning procedure.

Proper hole preparation is critical to achieving the required performance of the adhesive-set anchors.

Step 5: Install the Structural Epoxy and Threaded Rods

Prepare and dispense the structural anchoring adhesive according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Insert the threaded rods to the specified embedment depth and verify their positioning.

Step 6: Allow the Epoxy to Cure

Allow the anchoring adhesive to reach its required cure condition before loading or torquing the installed anchors.

Cure time depends on the product requirements and actual installation conditions.

Step 7: Complete the Light Pole Installation

Once the anchoring system has satisfied the required installation and curing conditions, the light pole may be installed according to the approved project requirements.

Important Engineering and Installation Requirements

The suitability of an adhesive-set anchor bolt installation must be verified for the specific project.

Factors affecting the installation include:

  • Concrete strength and foundation condition
  • Anchor diameter and embedment depth
  • Anchor spacing and edge distances
  • Light pole height, weight, and mounting configuration
  • Fixture loads and wind-loading requirements
  • Applicable engineering and building code requirements
  • Adhesive manufacturer’s installation and curing instructions

A concrete footing should not be considered suitable for reuse based solely on its visible appearance.

Before installing the kit, verify the approved engineering requirements and technical documentation for the selected model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can damaged light pole anchor bolts be replaced without replacing the concrete foundation?

In certain applications, yes. New adhesive-set anchors may be installed into an existing concrete footing when the foundation is structurally suitable and the installation is supported by the applicable engineering design.

Need Help Choosing the Right Anchor Bolt Kit?

Light pole foundation conditions vary from project to project. The appropriate solution depends on the existing concrete footing, anchor bolt requirements, and replacement pole configuration.

Light Pole Systems works with electrical contractors, distributors, facility maintenance departments, and other commercial lighting professionals to help evaluate product options.
