World of Concrete Daily News Article
BOLT STAR holds four anchor bolts and electrical conduits in place while supporting
the rebar cage during the pour of the round concrete bases typically specified for parking lot and outdoor area lighting, street lighting, security camera poles, street signs, and flag poles. Because they no longer have to fabricate a wood “bolt template” for every base, contractors report labor savings of 50% or more compared to the conventional process.
