INTRODUCTION
Steel poles and masts are used in City Power’s area of supply in public lighting and distribution
applications. When used for lighting, the poles and masts are collectively referred to as masts. Quality
of the masts is very important as failure could result in serious consequences. As this is difficult to
manage within the present City Power business structures it has been decided that SANS support
structures will be relied upon to manage compliance to specification as well as quality. The implication
to suppliers is that City Power will only purchase steel masts that comply with the relevant SANS
specifications.
1 SCOPE
This specification covers City Power’s requirements for steel masts for public lighting in accordance
with SANS 10225.

3 DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

The definitions and abbreviations in the above documents shall apply to this specification.
4 REQUIREMENTS
4.1 General
4.1.1 All masts shall comply fully with the requirements of SANS 10225 and this specification.
4.1.2 The masts shall be suitable for use at a mean altitude of 1 800 m above sea level in an
environment subject to heavy industrial pollution at ambient temperatures of -15˚C to 65˚C.
4.1.3 The masts will be installed in locations subject to high wind loading (as detailed in clause 4.2
2
below) and high lightning ground flash density (> 10 flashes/km /year).
4.1.4 The masts shall be designed, approved and certified by an individual who is professionally
registered with the Engineering Council as a structural engineer in accordance with SANS 10225
and manufactured from new materials.
4.2 Design
4.2.1 The masts shall be designed in accordance with SANS 10225 to support luminaires, the
maximum number, mass and projected area of which are given in Annex A.
4.2.2 In addition, the masts shall be designed to support advertising signboards in accordance with the
“Adopt-a-Light” project (or similar) and the additional cantilever loading that will be imposed on
these masts. The boards measure approximately 1225 mm (H) × 900 mm (B) and are mounted
approximately 3,0 m from ground level (measured to the lower edge of the board) in most areas.
In exceptional circumstances, mainly in CBD areas, they may be mounted at a height of up to
4,0 m in order to avoid being damaged by buses, etc.
4.2.3 The steel masts, when loaded as detailed above, shall be capable of withstanding a fluctuating
wind load in accordance with the requirements of SANS 10225. The terrain category shall be
-1
Category 3, and the wind velocity shall be 40ms . Other information required (including force
coefficients Cf) is given in Annex A.
4.2.4 Under the conditions detailed in SANS 10225 and those given above, the horizontal and vertical
deflections shall not exceed the requirements of SANS 10225.
4.2.7 The design for all earth mount masts shall include sub-surface fins, the purpose of which is to
prevent the mast from rotating about its own axis as a result of wind loading exceeding the soil
bearing pressure. The size of the fins shall be determined by the structural engineer, taking into
account terrain category, wind velocity, outreach, mast and attachment areas, projected
luminaire areas, force coefficients and other relevant data.
4.2.8 Masts may be of any hollow cross section and vertical profile meeting the requirements of this
specification and SANS 10225.
4.2.9 Masts must have a minimum outside diameter (at the access opening) as detailed in Annex A.
This is required to accommodate the cabling design practice of City Power and smaller
PAGE 5 OF 67
diameters do not allow sufficient space to accommodate the cables and fuse holders used.
Designs using smaller diameters will not be considered under any circumstances.
4.2.10 The design of each mast shall be accompanied by comprehensive strength calculations certified
by a qualified professional structural engineer. As this structural engineer will take full
responsibility for the design of the masts, he or she is free to deviate from the drawings for
structural reasons. For instance, the structural engineer may feel that the strength of a particular
mast is inadequate, and he or she is therefore at liberty to increase the mast thickness or
diameter, etc. These changes must be detailed in the strength calculations as well as in the
Deviation Schedules, found in the A and B Schedules.
4.3 Construction
4.3.1 All masts, except those detailed in 4.3.2 to 4.3.4 below, shall be supplied as a unitary
construction (i.e. in one piece).
4.3.2 M1 and M3 shall have a unitary fixed portion and a unitary moveable portion.
4.3.3 M7 is required with a separate 2 m section attached at the top by means of a slip joint and
secured with three evenly spaced (at 120˚) grub screws. The slip joint shall have the male
portion on the lower portion of the mast. The upper and lower portions of the mast shall have the
same diameter on either side of the joint.
4.3.4 All masts with a curved outreach shall have the outreach portion separate and use a joint design
as shown in principle on Drawing CP_TSDRAW_004 Sheet 6. Preference will be given to
designs incorporating increased safety i.e. that ensure that the arm remains attached to the mast
in the event of a vehicle colliding with the mast.
4.3.5 All changes in diameter shall be by means of swaging or continuous tapering. Under no
circumstances will welded pieces (pipe reducers) inserted into the masts be accepted.
4.3.6 All joints shall be bevelled prior to welding and shall present a symmetrical appearance after
welding. In addition, all joints (other than those designed for later assembly) shall be designed
and manufactured to ensure that there is no ingress of water into the interior of the mast.
4.3.7 All masts except the M series masts require a sacrificial steel corrosion protection sleeve. These
sleeves shall be at least 3 mm thick and conform to Drawing CP_TSDRAW_004 Sheet 8. The
sleeve shall be welded to the mast prior to galvanising with a continuous seal weld at the top and
bottom of the sleeve. The second weld shall be carried out immediately after, or simultaneously
with, the first weld.
4.3.8 A fuse mounting bracket with a minimum thickness of 2 mm shall be mounted in the mast
opposite the access opening. The mounting bracket shall incorporate a suitable length of DIN
rail as well as an M10 × 40 mm earth stud. The earth stud shall be bonded to the mast so that
connecting an earth conductor from an external source to it will have the effect of earthing the
entire mast.
4.3.9 All one-piece masts shall have an M10 nut welded to the pole at a height of 1,5 m from the top of
the mast. This is to provide a point for earthing the mast when it is carrying overheard
conductors or ABC. The corresponding full-thread M10 bolt shall be supplied fitted into the nut.
The arrangement shall be such that the full length of the bolt is able to enter the nut.
4.3.10 All two-piece masts (e.g. masts with curved arms) shall have one M10 nut (and bolt as detailed
in 4.3.9 above) on both sides of the joint position, within 150 mm of the final joint position when
the mast is in service. This is to facilitate bonding of the two pieces so that the entire mast is
effectively earthed.
PAGE 6 OF 67
4.3.11 All earth mount masts shall have a 60 × 6 mm anti-sink flat bar (with a minimum thickness of 3,5
mm) roughly shaped to the inside base diameter, welded symmetrically across the base
opening, with the flat surface at 90˚ to the mast axis.
4.3.12 All earth mount masts shall have fins in accordance with clause 4.2.7 welded to the mast below
ground level (at 90˚ to the cable entries) to avoid the mast rotating about its own axis as a result
of the wind loading exceeding the bearing pressure of the soil. As a rough guide, the size of the
fins should not be less than 450 × 125 × 6 mm.
4.3.13 All welding shall be continuous and in compliance with SANS 044, Parts 1 to 4. All welds shall be
dressed where necessary.
4.3.14 After manufacturing is complete, but before galvanising may commence, masts shall have all
weld slag removed by shot- or sand-blasting and a visual inspection shall be carried out to
ensure the efficiency of this operation. In addition, the masts shall be internally and externally
degreased and all grit, loose rust, welding flux and spatter, rough edges and burrs shall be
removed.
4.3.15 All masts shall be hot-dip galvanised in accordance with SANS 121. The minimum thickness of
the zinc layer shall be 90 µm. The process used shall comply completely with the requirements
of SANS 121.
4.3.16 No material may be removed from the mast either mechanically or chemically after galvanising
has been carried out.
4.3.17 All items shall be protected against corrosion by either hot-dip galvanising as detailed above or
by being manufactured of stainless steel. All possibility of galvanic action shall be avoided.
4.3.18 All threaded articles shall use standard metric threads. External threads may not be undercut.
4.3.19 All must shall have an earthing stud provided at the access hole and the top of the mast.
4.4 Specific requirements
4.4.1 S series and D series masts
4.4.1.1 S1 shall be designed as an S2 mast, with all the associated loadings, but supplied with a 2,0 m
outreach.
4.4.1.2 The joint between the upright and curved portions of S1 and S2 shall be identical, allowing
interchangeability between the respective outreach portions.
4.4.1.3 It shall not be possible to interchange outreaches within the S series, other than S1 and S2.
4.4.1.4 In addition to the requirements of 4.2, the masts are expected to carry low voltage aerial
bundled conductor (ABC) in accordance with SANS 1418 or low voltage hard drawn bare
copper (HDBC) conductor in accordance with SANS 182-1. Tenderers are required to consult
these documents for accurate information concerning the characteristics of the conductors, as
the information given below is for information only.

Drawing CP_TSDRAW_004 Sheet 8.
4.4.2.4 A safety chain shall link the hinged and fixed portions to prevent accidental lowering.
4.4.2.5 It shall be possible to accurately balance the pivoting section of the mast on site by installing
internal counter-weights which remain permanently attached to the interior of the mast. The
balancing shall be of such a nature so as to allow lowering and raising of the mast to be carried
out by one person using a nylon rope, with an effort of not more than 150 N required. The use
of hand or power winches shall not be acceptable.
4.4.2.6 The mast design shall be such that the hinged portion of a correctly balanced mast will at all
times remain in the upright position until deliberately lowered by removing the heptagonal nut
and pulling down on the hinged portion. Mast designs which are top-heavy and allow the
hinged portion to swing down without intervention when the heptagonal nut is removed or the
fixing arrangement damaged will not be considered under any circumstances.
4.4.2.7 Mast designs which require the temporary attachment of counter-weights to the hinged portion
before lowering and subsequent removal once raised will not be considered.
4.4.2.8 A mounting plate shall be provided in the base of the mast at the access opening. The
mounting plate shall be suitable for the installation of a distribution board (ABB York type FO81
or similar), and allow easy opening of the sliding front cover. The distribution board will be
supplied, installed and commissioned by City Power, as will all electrical equipment
(luminaires, fuses, circuit-breakers and associated equipment) as well as the provision of the
electrical supply.

bottom edge of the installed spigot adaptor.
4.4.2.10A hole of 25 mm diameter is required for cable entry in each spigot stub portion of all spigot
adaptors, facing downwards when the mast is in the upright position. The hole is to have its
edge within 20 mm of the weld joining the spigot adaptor stub to the spigot adaptor sleeve.
4.4.3 M7 masts
4.4.3.1 The masts shall use the mounting flange dimensions as detailed on Drawing
CP_TSDRAW_004 Sheet 5. The thickness of the mounting flange may be increased if this is
required to conform to the requirements of SANS 10225.
PAGE 8 OF 67
4.4.3.2 The masts shall have additional items adapting the mast for use in conjunction with low voltage
aerial bundled conductor (ABC), but retaining the ability to accommodate conventional
underground cabling.

locking devices.
4.5.3 All spigot adaptors shall be of a unitary, all-welded construction.
4.5.4 For M series masts, a modular device is required to be clamped to the top of the mast, and
which can accommodate up to nine spigot adaptors (see user references Mod and ModS in
Annex A). If such a device is offered, detailed scale drawings are required with the tender.
4.5.5 Also for M series masts, a 1,7 m cross-arm is required to be clamped at any height between the
top of the mast and 1,5 m down from the top of the mast. This cross-arm shall be suitable for the
2
mounting of 4 floodlights of 25 kg mass and 0,44m projected area.
4.5.6 A lighting bracket for mounting single luminaires onto steel, concrete or wooden poles is
required. This bracket shall conform to the requirements of this specification and Drawing
CP_TSDRAW_005 Sheets 3 and 4. It is required that the back-strap as well as the associated
bolts, washers and nuts are supplied with the bracket.
4.6 Bracket
The bracket design and dimensions shall be according to drawing CP_TSDRAW_005
PAGE 10 OF 67
4.7 Access holes and cable entries

4.6.1 An access opening 300 mm long × 100 mm wide shall be provided (measured to the top edge of
the access cover) above the ground line, except for the M series masts, which shall have an
access opening of 430 × 100 mm and at a height of 2500mm (measured to the top edge of the
access cover) in order to accommodate the distribution board. All edges shall be free of burrs
and protrusions.
4.6.2 The dimensions shown on the mast drawings shall be increased to provide the required modulus
of section or alternatively interior reinforcing may be provided, if either of these is necessary.
4.6.3 A suitably curved UV stabilised, impact-resistant plastic cover of the same wall thickness and
colour as the mast at the access opening shall be fitted to cover the access opening. The cover
plate shall fit snugly against the mast and a silicon sealing gasket (approximately 2 mm thick)
shall be provided for sealing the cover plate to the mast. 4.6.4The plate shall be secured in the
closed position by means of two M6 × 25 mm stainless steel 7 sided Allen key bolts (with centre
pin) to be recessed on both sides of the cover. The Allen bolts shall screw into a back plate
behind the cover which clamps on both ends of the access opening when secured. This
arrangement shall be recessed i.e. when the cover is secured to the mast, the Allen bolts shall
not protrude beyond the diameter of the mast, and it shall only be possible to remove them by
the use of an appropriate 7 sided Allen- key spanner with centre pin.
4.6.5 The cover plate shall be permanently secured to the mast by means of a fixing mechanism e.g.
a chain onto both the cover plate and the mast. This arrangement shall not impede legitimate
access to the mast for maintenance, etc.
4.6.6 Due to the prevalence of removal and theft of cover plates by vandals within the City Power area
of supply, preference will be given to designs where the cover sits flush with the exterior surface
of the mast in order to prevent external leverage by means of tools and other implements.
4.6.7 Consideration will also be given to alternative designs of cover plate. Full technical details and
working drawings must be supplied with such offers.
4.6.8 Below-ground cable entries shall comply with Drawing CP_TSDRAW_004 Sheet 8. Two 200 ×
65 mm slots shall be cut opposite one another in line with the cable access hole. The distance
from the bottom of the slots to the ground line shall be 500 mm.
NOTE For safety reasons, the access hole will be at 90˚ to the road.
4.6.9 The openings shall be flame-cut, and bent in at an angle of 30˚ from the vertical. The slots shall
be well radiused and free of burrs.
4.8 Training
4.7.1 All tenderers shall offer three year certified training courses in the correct installation of all masts
offered.
4.7.2 All associated costs for the certified training courses detailed in 4.7.1 above shall be given in
terms of cost per person and shall remain fixed for the period of the contract. All training shall be
given at City Power venues and therefore tenderers should make provision for travel and
accommodation to be included in the cost, if applicable.
4.9 Inspection and testing

4.8.1 In addition to the requirements listed below, all masts shall comply with the test requirements of
clause 7.12 of SANS 10225.
4.8.2 City Power could appoint an independent test authority to act on its behalf. This inspection
authority shall be allowed free access to any place where work for this contract is carried out,
whether on site or at the place of manufacture.
PAGE 11 OF 67
4.8.3 The tenderer shall carry out all tests required by the inspection authority. The tests will be within
the ambit of SANS 0198, SANS 10225 and SANS 121.
4.8.4 The authority may also require the welding on 10% of the masts to be radio-graphed and
evaluated. The maximum width of any isolated slag inclusion shall not exceed 3 mm, and the
total length of isolated slag inclusions in any continuous length of weld shall not exceed 4% of
the length of that weld. In addition, no more than four isolated slag inclusions of a maximum
width of 3 mm in this length shall be permitted.
4.8.5 In addition to the above, no cracks shall be permitted, and penetration, lack of fusion,
undercutting and porosity shall receive attention.
4.8.6 The cost of initial testing will be borne by City Power. In the event of any further testing arising
out of any item failing a test, the cost of further testing will be borne by the tenderer.
4.8.7 In the event of masts failing under 4.8.4, the entire consignment of masts shall be radio-graphed
at the tenderer’s expense. The masts will be individually accepted or rejected on the basis of
these radiographs.
4.8.8 None of these provisions free the tenderer from any of the inspection and quality control
requirements of SANS 10198, SANS 10225 and SANS 121.
4.10 Packing and marking

4.9.1 A metal name plate, at least 80 × 40 mm in size and using letters at least 10 mm high, shall be
permanently fixed to the inside of each mast opposite the access opening. The name plate shall
preferably use raised coloured lettering, although other permanent and robust lettering will be
considered, provided full details are supplied.
4.9.2 The name plate and method of fixing shall have a service life at least equal to that of the mast,
and shall remain in place and legible even if the mast suffers serious structural damage of any
sort.
4.9.3 The name plate shall include the following information: manufacturer’s name, month and year of
manufacture, and the user reference number as detailed in Annex A.
4.9.4 All masts shall be weld marked with the user reference just below the access opening. The weld
mark, which shall be carried out before galvanising preparation, shall consist of a neat raised
weld run on the exterior of the mast, with letters approximately 100 mm high. In addition, in the
case of masts with curved arms, the arm shall also be marked near the spigot with the lettering
facing upwards when the arm is installed.
4.9.5 Spigot adaptors and caps shall be marked with the user reference on the top by means of
number and letter punches with a character size of at least 10 mm. The lettering and numbers
shall be clearly visible after galvanising.
4.9.6 Masts shall be bundled with stainless steel strapping for delivery.
4.9.7 City Power shall off-load, at its own cost, any masts delivered to any City Power store. Any items
delivered elsewhere shall be off-loaded at the contractor’s own cost, and City Power shall not
assist in any way whatsoever.

4.11 Drawings and documentation

4.10.1 The attached drawings, CP_TSDRAW_004 (all sheets) and CP_TSDRAW_005 (sheets 3 and 4)
are integral to this specification. If there are discrepancies between the written specification and
the drawings, the written specification shall take precedence.
4.10.2 As per clause 4.2.10, the design of each mast shall be accompanied by comprehensive strength
calculations certified by a qualified professional structural engineer. In addition, detailed
drawings and documentation as required in clause 4.3 of SANS 10225 shall be supplied. Failure
to supply the information required will result in rejection of the tender.
4.10.3 The contractor shall, within twenty working days of receipt of notification of acceptance of the
tender, prepare and forward scaled manufacturing drawings, unless clear and unambiguous
documentation in this regard is included in the tender.
5 QUALITY MANAGEMENT
A quality management plan shall be set up in order to assure the proper quality management of
public lighting steel masts during design, development, production, installation and servicing
phases. Guidance on the requirements for a quality management plan may be found in the ISO
9001. The details shall be subject to agreement between City Power and the Supplier.
6 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
An environmental management plan shall be set up in order to assure the proper environmental
management of public lighting steel masts throughout its entire life cycle (i.e. during design,
development, production, installation, operation and maintenance, decommissioning and disposal
