A foundation for supporting poles, particularly electrical power cable support poles, is formed by boring a hole only slightly larger than the pole base onto the earth a desired depth. A reinforcing structure is lowered into the hole. The reinforcing structure usually rests on the bottom of the hole and extends above the earth surface a number of feet. The hole is then filled with concrete, usually up to the earth surface, and allowed to cure. A lowermost or base section of the pole is then lowered into position about an exposed upper portion of the reinforcing structure. Concrete is placed into the interior of the pole section about the reinforcing structure until it is covered. After the concrete cures, any remaining pole sections may be installed onto the base section.

A method of installing an immured foundation for a removable, tubular pole, comprising the steps of: boring a hole in the ground; inserting a reinforcing cage into the hole in the ground so that a lower portion of the reinforcing cage rests on the bottom surface of the hole without any means for attaching the reinforcing cage to the bottom surface of the hole and an upper portion of the reinforcing cage extends above ground level; filling the hole with concrete to ground level about the lower portion of the reinforcing cage; lowering a removable, tubular separate pole base member over the upper portion of the reinforcing cage onto the hardened concrete; and filling the removable, tubular pole base member with concrete to a level covering the upper portion of the reinforcing cage.
