AT’s Roadway Lighting Column Specification, Appendix D1, section D4.9 (page 11), specifies mowing strips around lighting-column bases where appropriate:

  • 25 MPa concrete, 150 mm deep.

  • At least 200 mm from the column on every side.

  • Boxed edges, finished flush with surrounding ground.

  • Smooth trowel finish with a slight fall away from the column to prevent ponding.

The 200 mm is the width around the column, not the overall surround size. Confirm requirements against the approved project drawings and applicable AT specifications.
