Lighting Columns Corrosion Applications

Local governments and authorities are usually required to carry out thickness measurements on a regular basis along highway networks and local roads. Measurements are typically taken at four points around the circumference at different heights on the lighting column. Lighting columns are very susceptible to corrosion at the base, due to splashes and ground water, and the collar (swage joint) often due to condensation built up inside the column. Regular inspection of lighting columns is highly recommended to ensure they are maintained in good condition and are structurally safe to prevent the column from collapsing and causing possible injury.
