A lighting and CCTV column one person can put up. Four bolts, no crane.
The Hardie Column is a 150 mm aluminium column that weighs a fraction of steel. Bolt the base to a concrete pad, drop the top section into the hinged collar, swing it upright and lock it with security bolts. Made in Bedfordshire, UKCA certified, projected life beyond 35 years.

Installed in three moves, by one person
Bolt the base, open the collar
The base section bolts to a concrete pad with four anchor bolts. The black collar on top hinges back so the shaft can be fed in by hand.
Swing it upright
With the end of the shaft seated in the collar, one person walks it up to vertical. The collar is the pivot, so the weight is never carried at arm's length.
Lock it with security bolts
The collar closes and is fastened with security bolts, so the column can be left in a public space. Fit the lantern or camera and connect up through the base door.
Most of the cost of a column is getting it in the ground. We took that out.
A steel column needs a lorry-mounted crane, a deep concrete root, traffic management and a crew of five to ten. The Hardie Column needs a pad, four bolts and one person with a van. Hardie has shown installation savings of up to 75% against the traditional method.

One column, five kinds of site
The same 150 column carries a street lantern, a flood light, a PTZ camera or all three. Pick the page that matches your site.
Homes, driveways and private estates
Light a long drive or a gateway, or get a camera up high where it can see, without a contractor's crane on the lawn. One column, one visit, no road closure.
Columns for homes and estates
Business premises and car parks
Lighting and cameras for shops, offices, surgeries, farms and their car parks. Put the columns where you need them this month, not when a crane is free.
Columns for business premises
Industrial sites, depots and yards
Perimeter floods and cameras for logistics yards, manufacturing sites, plant hire and compounds, installed by your own maintenance team from a van.
Columns for industrial sites
Security and CCTV columns
A tamper-resistant stand for PTZ, ANPR and fixed cameras, with floods on the same column. Security-bolted collar and a lockable base door for the power and data.
Security and CCTV columns
Street lighting for developers, parishes and private roads
Over 25,000 Hardie lights are already installed across the UK. Lanterns on the 150 column for new estates, private roads, paths and car parks, with central management if you want it.
Street lighting columns
Aluminium extrusion, anodised, made to be handled
The base is a 150 mm extruded section with a flush inspection door and a four-bolt flange. Above the hinged collar the column tube tapers to 76 mm, made to order in heights up to 6 metres. Aluminium does not rust through the way steel does: surface oxide stops at the surface, which is why the projected life is beyond 35 years.
