Light Pole Pier Anchor Bolt Replacement
Light Pole Pier Anchor Bolt Replacement
(OP)
Had a contractor hit a parking lot light pole with a backhoe causing the anchor bolts to bend and twist. Is it necessary to replace the entire pier or is there another solution?

What is your structure like? Concrete above ground level? How tall? Any noticeable cracking?
What are the wind forces like? In my area, you wouldn't want a cracked concrete base. That would lead to a downed pole and likely hurt someone or damage a vehicle.

While your at it, you should probably grind back and reweld the weld to the baseplate on the side of the impact. This is in case there is a fracture there from the impact.
