SIRIM PMW Solar Concrete Pole (Planted)
The PMW Concrete Pole (SOLAR Series) – Planted Type is a SIRIM-certified, high-density prestressed spun concrete column engineered for commercial solar street lighting, infrastructure projects, and highway lighting across Malaysia. Featuring an overall length (OL) of up to 12,000 mm with an 8,000 mm to 10,000 mm exposed height and 2,000 mm buried depth, this structural pole provides maintenance-free durability, wind load stability, and anti-corrosion properties needed for outdoor urban and rural deployments.
Full Description:
Engineered for High-Performance Outdoor Solar Lighting
The PMW Concrete Pole (SOLAR Series) Planted Type is custom-built to support heavy-duty solar LED lighting assemblies, PV panel mounting arms, and battery units. Constructed using high-grade spun concrete, it meets the structural demands of Malaysian outdoor infrastructure, offering non-corrosive, non-conductive, and weather-resistant properties ideal for coastal, high-humidity, and heavy-rainfall environments. Unlike traditional steel lighting poles that require frequent anti-rust coatings or galvanizing maintenance, PMW spun concrete poles deliver a long service life with minimal up-keep.
Key Advantages for Malaysian Infrastructure & Contracting Projects
- Direct-Buried Installation: The Planted Type design eliminates the need for expensive holding down bolts (HDB) and concrete base plates. Excavate to a 2,000 mm depth, set the pole, and backfill with concrete/soil for secure installation.
- SIRIM Quality Compliance: Fully certified by SIRIM, meeting strict municipal compliance standards for public infrastructure projects, Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) tenders, local council (PBT) developments, and private commercial industrial parks.
- Designed for Solar Payloads: Tapering from 120 mm top diameter to 200–218 mm base diameter ensures stiffness against high top-end loads caused by heavy solar PV panels and battery boxes under wind speeds.
- Vandalism & Theft Resistant: Concrete eliminates the scrap value associated with steel and aluminum poles, reducing risks of site vandalism or scrap theft.
- Corrosion Resistance: Immune to atmospheric corrosion, soil chemicals, and salt air, making it suitable for highway lighting, port areas, and rural road installations across East and West Malaysia.

Q1: What are the specifications of the PMW Solar Concrete Pole (Planted Type)?
A: The PMW SOLAR Series Planted Type concrete pole comes in two main sizes: an exposed height of 8,000 mm (10,000 mm overall length) with a 200 mm base diameter, and an exposed height of 10,000 mm (12,000 mm overall length) with a 218 mm base diameter. Both feature a 120 mm top diameter and require a 2,000 mm buried foundation depth.
Q2: Is the PMW Concrete Pole SIRIM approved in Malaysia?
A: Yes, the PMW SOLAR Series Concrete Pole is SIRIM certified, ensuring compliance with Malaysian structural safety and quality standards for government, JKR, municipal council, and commercial development tenders.
Q3: What is the difference between planted and flanged concrete poles?
A: A planted concrete pole is installed by burying its base directly into the ground (e.g., 2,000 mm depth) and backfilling. A flanged concrete pole features a steel base plate attached to anchor bolts embedded in a prepared concrete foundation pad. Planted types eliminate base plate hardware costs.
Q4: How deep should a 10m or 12m PMW planted concrete pole be buried?
A: The PMW Planted SOLAR Series requires a fixed buried depth of 2,000 mm (2 meters) into the ground, leaving an exposed lighting height of either 8,000 mm or 10,000 mm above ground level.
Q5: Why choose spun concrete poles over galvanized steel poles for solar lighting?
A: Spun concrete poles offer higher corrosion resistance, require zero painting or rust maintenance, possess no scrap metal value to deter theft, and provide structural stiffness to handle heavy top-mounted solar panel loads.
Q6: What top diameter is required for solar streetlight arm brackets on PMW poles?
A: The top diameter of the PMW SOLAR Series Planted Type is 120 mm, designed to fit standard street lighting metal mounting arms and solar panel bracket assemblies.
Q7: Can PMW Planted Concrete Poles withstand high wind speeds in Malaysia?
A: Yes, PMW concrete poles are engineered from high-density prestressed spun concrete designed to handle severe outdoor weather conditions and wind loads associated with heavy solar PV frame attachments.
Q8: What projects are PMW SOLAR Series concrete poles suitable for?
A: They are suitable for solar highway street lighting, municipal road projects, rural electrification schemes, industrial park perimeters, commercial car parks, and township compound lighting.
Q9: Where can contractors buy SIRIM-certified PMW concrete poles in Malaysia?
A: PMW concrete poles can be sourced directly through PMW Lighting Sdn Bhd, authorized civil/electrical supply distributors, and lighting fixture stockists across Malaysia.
