The Scary Reality of Corrosion: A CBS News report revealed that over 33,000 streetlight poles in Chicago are at risk due to rust and structural weaknesses. Since 2013, the city has logged more than 8,000 complaints about leaning or falling poles. The most vulnerable part?

As we transition into the colder seasons, it is crucial to prioritize the protection of outdoor streetlight poles. By safeguarding these essential structures, we can ensure public safety and extend their lifespan and functionality. It is recommended that a thorough inspection of streetlight poles be conducted to identify potential vulnerabilities and take corrective measures before fall and winter arrive. Particular attention should be given to the base of the streetlight pole, as this area is particularly vulnerable to damage from frost, ice, and heavy snowfall. TerraCast® light pole bases provide a robust solution to protect this vulnerable area while enhancing the aesthetic appeal.
