​
Every project, regardless of size, is treated with the same technical rigour, so players, officials, and spectators get the clarity they deserve.
Foundations & Pole Engineering
Strong foundations are essential to every lighting installation.
-
Pad Footings — Wide, engineered concrete bases for stable soils and shallow water tables.
-
Pile Footings — Reinforced concrete bored deep into softer soils for lasting stability.
All designs are based on Geotechnical Reports and tailored by Certified Structural Engineers to suit pole height, load, and site conditions.
​
Pole placement and height are planned in line with:
-
AS2560.2.3 standards
-
Game code requirements
-
Field dimensions, surrounding structures, and visual impact
REES delivers four, six, and eight pole configurations — side, corner, or hybrid — expertly modelled for optimal performance, compliance, and exceptional lighting outcomes.
