Aktar lighting-pole factory in Riyadh — from raw steel to an install-ready pole
A Saudi factory specialized in manufacturing lighting poles, operating from the Al-Sulai district of Riyadh since 1432H (2011). We run every stage in-house: engineering design and load calculation, then cutting, forming, welding and laser cutting, then hot-dip galvanizing and electrostatic powder coating, through to quality control, packing and delivery. We show these stages exactly as they happen — in photos and video — so you can verify the pole’s source and compliance before approving supply.

Poles from this factory in delivered projects
These stages aren’t a theoretical display; what leaves the line was supplied, installed and accepted by real bodies. We’ve delivered projects documented with client completion certificates for municipalities and contractors in Tabuk, Buraidah, Al-Bahah, Jeddah and Dammam — with sensitive data masked in the published documents.

What we make in-house
Complete manufacturing capabilities under one roof in Riyadh — letting us control quality and verify compliance at every stage without relying on outside sources.
Steel cutting, forming & welding
Tapered or tubular shaft forming, with base plate and arms welded to engineering tolerances.
Laser cutting for custom patterns
Motifs, etching and logos cut directly into the shaft to your drawing.
Hot-dip galvanizing (ISO 1461)
Corrosion protection suited to the Saudi climate, documented with an ASTM A123 thickness report.
Electrostatic powder coating
Heat-cured, UV-resistant finish in any color over a galvanized surface.
SBC 301 load design
Poles engineered for wind and structural loads per the Saudi Building Code.
Precast concrete foundations
Matching anchor bases prepared with the poles to speed on-site installation.
Nine stages every pole goes through: from design to delivery
Each pole passes through nine connected stages. Watch real footage from the workshop in the strip below — drag it, use the arrows, and tap any clip to view it full-size — then read the stages to see what happens at each and why it matters to the pole’s durability and compliance.

- 1
Engineering design & load calculation
We start from the project brief: pole height, number of arms, luminaire weight and site conditions. The engineer designs and calculates wind and structural loads, fixing shaft thickness and base-plate diameter.
Designing per Saudi Building Code SBC 301 is what keeps the pole stable against wind over its life, and produces stamped calculations for the tender file. - 2
Raw steel selection
We select steel sheet and tube at the grade and thickness the calculation requires, and verify the material before it enters the line.
Steel grade and quality are the foundation of the pole’s strength and of successful galvanizing later. - 3
Cutting, forming & rolling
Steel is cut to length, then formed and rolled into a tapered or tubular shaft at the approved dimensions, and curved arms are bent.
A precisely formed shaft distributes stress evenly and gives the pole its structural strength and straightness. - 4
Welding (shaft, base plate, arms)
The shaft, base plate and arms are joined with continuous, sound welds; luminaire mounts and cable-entry openings are prepared with alignment controlled.
Weld integrity binds the pole into one load-bearing unit — a critical point that is later inspected in quality control. - 5
Laser cutting for decorative patterns
For decorative and façade projects, laser cutting executes geometric patterns, motifs or logos on the shaft to high precision per the drawing.
Laser cutting allows precise, repeatable customization without weakening the shaft, distinguishing poles for plazas, entrances and heritage projects. - 6
Hot-dip galvanizing (ISO 1461)
Poles are fully immersed in molten zinc, forming a bonded metallic coating inside and out per ISO 1461; thickness is measured and documented per ASTM A123.
Hot-dip galvanizing is the primary defense against rust in the Saudi climate, extending pole life; the documented report is part of the tender file and the basis of the warranty. - 7
Powder coating & finishing
After galvanizing, an electrostatic powder coat in the required color is applied and cured in an oven, giving the pole its final color and finish.
Coating is a second protective layer over the galvanizing and delivers the required color with high UV and weather stability — a priority for municipalities. - 8
Quality control & inspection
Every batch is inspected before shipping: galvanizing thickness, weld integrity, dimensions and straightness, finish quality and conformance to the drawing — no pole is approved until it passes.
Inspection turns compliance from a claim into a document; results feed conformity certificates and project reports. - 9
Packing, delivery & install support
Poles are packed to protect the finish in transit and shipped across the Kingdom within 7–14 business days, with technical support for on-site installation when needed.
Proper packing preserves the finish until installation, and on-time delivery supports project schedules and reduces delay risk for the contractor.
The standards we follow and how we control quality
In production and inspection we follow the standards recognized by government bodies, and present them openly so a procurement engineer can confirm the pole meets the technical specification.
- SASOProduct conformity with the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization.
- ISO 1461The hot-dip galvanizing standard for corrosion protection.
- IEC 60598Reference for the safety of luminaires mounted on the pole.
- SBC 301The Saudi Building Code for wind and structural load calculation.
- ASTM A123Reference for documenting galvanizing thickness in inspection reports.

The documents we prepare for the tender file
A compliant product isn’t enough; the owner needs the papers required for the tender or handover file. On request we prepare a documented package per project that shortens the review cycle for the owner and the consultant.
- SASO conformity certificatesProof of product conformity with the approved Saudi standards.
- Galvanizing thickness reports (ASTM A123)Documenting the zinc-layer thickness to confirm corrosion protection.
- Engineer-stamped structural calculationsLoad design per SBC 301 with an engineering stamp for the tender.
Common questions about manufacturing & supply
What is the manufacturing and delivery lead time?
Delivery is 7–14 business days across the Kingdom. Custom orders add manufacturing time depending on quantity and complexity, which we state in the quote.
Which standards do you follow and what documents do you prepare for tenders?
We follow SASO, ISO 1461, IEC 60598 and SBC 301 load design. On request we prepare SASO conformity certificates, galvanizing thickness reports (ASTM A123), engineer-stamped structural calculations.
Do you manufacture to order from a drawing or specs?
Yes. We work to order from a sketch, a reference image or a full specification document, and our engineering team prepares the design and load calculation.
