PMW Concrete Pole Solar Series SIRIM | Flanged Type
The PMW Concrete Pole (SOLAR Series) - Flanged Type is a high-grade, SIRIM-certified spun concrete pole engineered for solar street lighting, infrastructure projects, and municipal developments across Malaysia. Featuring heavy-duty Grade 50 high-density concrete with a flanged mounting system, it provides high resistance against harsh tropical weathering, wind loads up to 35m/s, and physical fatigue. Available in overall lengths of 8,000mm, 10,000mm, and 12,000mm, this low-maintenance pole eliminates internal corrosion issues common to hollow steel poles, guaranteeing long-term operational cost efficiency for contractor and government projects.
Full Description:
When building resilient infrastructure in Malaysia’s humid, tropical climate, choosing structural-grade foundation support for solar streetlights is critical. The PMW Concrete Pole (SOLAR Series) - Flanged Type offers a robust, maintenance-free alternative to traditional galvanised iron or metal lighting posts.Specifically manufactured to integrate seamlessly with modern off-grid, hybrid, and solar LED street light fixtures, the SOLAR Series offers superior structural rigidity. Designed with a wide 236mm base diameter and engineered taper, this spun concrete pole evenly distributes wind shear and structural weight, providing long-term durability for highways, residential developments, solar farms, industrial parks, and public parks.
Why Choose PMW Flanged Concrete Poles for Solar Projects?
- Full SIRIM Quality Certification: Compliance is non-negotiable in Malaysian public works (JKR/LHDN/Local Council projects). Having explicit SIRIM certification guarantees that every PMW pole meets exact structural safety, axial strength, and material density criteria. This speeds up site inspections, tender approvals, and architectural sign-offs.
- Flanged Base Convenience: Unlike direct-buried poles that require deep trenching and concrete backfilling, the Flanged Type mounting configuration allows for anchor-bolt installation directly onto pre-cast concrete pad footings. This design choice speeds up installation times on site, simplifies alignment adjustments, and allows for easier relocation or replacement during roadway widening projects.
- Superior Weathering & Zero Internal Corrosion: Steel lighting poles often suffer from coastal salt spray, high humidity, and underground moisture ingress leading to rust and premature structural failure. High-density spun concrete is non-conductive, immune to rust, rot, and chemical soil degradation, making it ideal for coastal highways, palm oil estates, and tropical industrial zones.
- Ideal for High-Load Solar Luminaire Assemblies: Solar streetlights carry higher static weight and wind-resistance loads than conventional streetlights due to top-heavy solar panels, battery enclosures, and LED brackets. PMW’s 236mm base diameter paired with high tensile prestressed steel wiring inside the concrete ensures minimal deflection under high wind conditions.
Applications Across Malaysia
- Federal Highways & Municipal Roads (JKR Projects): Reliable foundation for solar LED street lights.
- Commercial & Industrial Parks: Perimeter security lighting and main access roads.
- Solar Farm Infrastructure: Off-grid perimeter illumination without requiring subterranean cabling runs.
- Residential Townships: Aesthetic, non-corrosive concrete poles that fit modern master-planned developments.

Q1: What are the benefits of using SIRIM certified concrete poles in Malaysia?
A: SIRIM certified concrete poles guarantee compliance with Malaysian safety standards for structural integrity, wind load resistance, and material quality. They ensure non-corrosive durability, low maintenance, and immediate approval for government (JKR) and commercial projects.
Q2: What is the difference between a flanged type concrete pole and a buried type pole?
A: A flanged type concrete pole features a steel base plate designed to be bolted onto a concrete foundation via anchor bolts. A buried type pole is set directly into a dug hole and backfilled with soil or wet concrete. Flanged poles offer easier installation, precise levelling, and quick replacement.
Q3: What heights are available for PMW SOLAR Series concrete poles?
A: PMW SOLAR Series flanged concrete poles come in three standard overall heights: 8 metres (8,000mm), 10 metres (10,000mm), and 12 metres (12,000mm), with top diameters of 120mm to 140mm.
Q4: Why are concrete poles better than steel poles for solar street lights?
A: Concrete poles do not rust, corrode, or degrade under coastal humidity and rainfall. Their heavier mass and higher structural rigidity better support top-heavy solar panels and battery units during strong wind gusts.
Q5: What is the base diameter of an 8m to 12m PMW SOLAR concrete pole?
A: The base diameter for all standard PMW SOLAR Series flanged concrete poles (8m, 10m, and 12m) is 236mm, providing a stable foundation tapering up to a 120mm–140mm top diameter.
Q6: Are PMW concrete lighting poles suitable for coastal areas in Malaysia?
A: Yes. High-density spun concrete is inherently resistant to salt spray, high moisture, and coastal air salinity, making it vastly superior to galvanized iron (GI) poles in marine and coastal regions.
Q7: What type of foundation is required for a flanged concrete pole?
A: Flanged concrete poles require a reinforced concrete civil footing equipped with embedded anchor bolts sized to match the base plate hole layout of the 236mm base pole.
Q8: Can PMW SOLAR Series poles be used for conventional grid lighting?
A: Yes. While optimized for solar street light mounts, PMW SOLAR Series poles can also host traditional grid-connected LED luminaires, floodlights, security cameras (CCTV), and telecommunications equipment.
Q9: Where can contractors buy SIRIM concrete poles in Malaysia?
A: SIRIM certified PMW concrete poles can be sourced directly through authorized electrical infrastructure distributors, lighting suppliers, or PMW Concrete Industries sales partners in Malaysia.
