Parking lot light poles, transformers, generators, HVAC condensers, and other site equipment all need concrete foundations — round bases for poles, rectangular pads for equipment. The foundation has to carry the load, resist wind on the pole, and survive Connecticut freeze-thaw cycles. Maisano Brothers Inc. pours pole bases and equipment pads sized to the specification.

What this service includes
Every project from Maisano Brothers Inc. covers the work that makes the result last.
Coordination with engineer or vendor spec
We work from the pole or equipment spec — diameter, depth, anchor bolt pattern, conduit count and size — so the foundation matches the unit it carries.
Excavation and base prep
We excavate to the design depth and compact the subgrade so the foundation sits on a stable base.
Forming and reinforcement
Pole bases are formed as round sonotube columns; equipment pads are formed rectangular. Both are reinforced with rebar cages sized to the spec.
Anchor bolt set and conduit stub-up
We set anchor bolts on a template per the pole or equipment spec and stub up conduit through the base for the electrician to wire.
Concrete pour and finishing
Pours use the right mix design for the load and the exposure; tops are finished smooth or broom-textured per the spec.
Cure and protection
Fresh concrete is protected during the cure window so it reaches design strength before the pole or equipment goes on top.
When this service makes sense
- You're installing new parking lot lighting and need the pole bases poured.
- You're replacing damaged or undersized existing pole bases.
- You're adding a pad-mount transformer, generator, or HVAC unit to the site.
- Your existing equipment pads are cracked, settled, or rocking.
- You're designing a new lot and want pole bases and equipment pads coordinated with the paving.

Materials, equipment, and quality
The standards and details that separate work built to last from work built to look finished.
Foundation depth matched to wind load
Pole bases have to resist overturning from wind loads, not just gravity. We pour to the depth the engineer's spec requires.
Anchors set on a template, not by hand
Anchor bolts have to land exactly on the pole's base plate pattern. We set anchors on a template tied to the rebar cage so they don't drift during the pour.
Concrete mix matched to the exposure
Outdoor concrete in Connecticut needs the right air-entrained mix to survive freeze-thaw. We pour the mix the spec calls for, not whatever the truck happened to bring.

How deep is a typical parking lot light pole base?
A 20-to-25-foot light pole base is typically 7 to 10 feet deep and 24 to 36 inches in diameter, depending on the pole height, fixture load, and local wind speed. The pole engineer's spec sets the exact dimension.
Do you handle the electrical, or just the foundation?
Foundation, anchors, and conduit stub-up only. The electrician pulls wire through our conduit and wires the pole or equipment.
Can you replace just a cracked or settled equipment pad?
Yes — we demolish the failed pad, dig out the failed base, prep a new base, and pour a fresh pad.
How long before the pole can be set?
Concrete reaches the strength needed to carry a pole at about seven days, full design strength at 28 days. We coordinate the cure window with your pole installer.
