Monopoles
FLI delivers a full range of monopole towers for urban, rural and constrained sites. These slimline structures support multi-operator 5G loading and upgrades. Our 5G monopoles reduce visual impact and enable reduced installation times.
Monopoles Towers
FLI offer a full range of monopoles as an alternative to lattice towers for urban or semi-urban environments. Standard monopoles are available up to 30 metres and designed to support between 1 and 4 users or sets of antenna. Monopoles are the slimmest structural option and our dual, three or four user models can be shared between operators to help with planning issues.
As well as complete 5G installations, we can upgrade existing poles to a 5G loading with our surmounted headframe.

Hand Build Monopoles
The ‘Rocket’ monopole tower is a hand-build CHS pole, designed for locations with poor access for plant.
Once the base section is erected using a HIAB, the mid and upper sections can be lifted into place using a derrick.
Heights from 10m to 20m, in 2.5m increments are available.
Streetworks Poles
FLI produce a range of monopole towers and foundations for Streetworks applications and greenfield sites requiring unobtrusive solutions.
Heights from 10m to 25m, in 2.5m increments are available.
Foundation options include roots, concrete raft, single screw piles and grouped screw piles with grillages.

Root Foundation For Streetworks Poles
Root foundation designs are available, subject to ground conditions. For lower loadings, single screw piles can be used while multiple piles with a grillage support higher loads.
Access hatches are included for cable management.

Piles & Grillages for Streetworks Poles
Single screw piles or a group of piles with interface grillages offers an alternative to root foundations for higher loadings.
There is minimal excavation, and the installation is rapid. There are no wet trades and grouped piles can bridge and avoid buried services.
The solutions include levelling devices and account for piling tolerance.
There is inherent rotational flexibility.
Cabinets can be installed on a small single screw pile with a single plate cap to match the cabin size.

Piles & Grillage Foundations
Screw pile and grillage foundations are an efficient way to support monopole towers and cabinets on embankments and cuttings and on soft made-up ground.
FLI’s screw pile and grillage foundations are narrower than their mass-concrete equivalent. This enables foundations to be installed within existing site compounds.
Grillages can be designed to span existing concrete bases or bridge buried services.
Existing Base - Interface Foot Adapter
New monopoles or existing monopoles with corroded mounting bolts in the foundation, can now be mounted onto an existing concrete foundation with FLI’s Elephant Foot interface adapter.
It’s a fast and cost-effective site upgrade or remedial bypass solution, which avoids the cost of removing an existing concrete base.
