An array of anode assemblies for insertion at a plurality of locations in a gap between a section of a reinforced concrete structure and another solid structure is provided. Each anode assembly comprises an expandable member, an anode attached to the expandable member for protecting a steel reinforcement in the reinforced concrete structure, and an anode connector for interconnecting the array of anode assemblies. During use, each anode assembly of the array of anode assemblies is inserted into the gap, between the section of the reinforced concrete structure and the solid structure, at the plurality of locations. The expandable member of each anode assembly is configured to expand so as to press the anode into contact with a surface of the reinforced concrete structure.

An apparatus and method for reinforcement of structural elements such as piles, posts, pillars, and pipes are disclosed. The apparatus includes an upper unit which may be fixed to the structural element above the waterline and a lower unit which is suspended from the upper unit via cables or other support members. The apparatus enables a reinforcing sleeve structure to be constructed in multiple segmented layers from above the waterline while the sleeve structure is lowered beneath the waterline. The lower unit guides the lower end of the sleeve structure down around the submerged portion of the structural element and supports the weight of the sleeve structure until it is fixed in place and filled with concrete or another reinforcing core filler material.

An articulating composite surface covering mat and process of forming the mat which has multiple units having a regular, natural or irregular appearance, and each unit a flexible geogrid extending therethrough. A method of forming the mat includes forming the mat upside-down on a bottom surface of a bottom mold, placing the top mold over the bottom mold to form the mold assembly, locating a geogrid in the mold assembly, latching the mold assembly together with magnets, and adding the filler to the mold assembly.

A device maintains proper downspout conductor pipe spacing and alignment. This stationary device attaches directly to the foundation of a home in any location utilizing different embodiments for straight walls, inside corners and outside corner conditions. The device provides fixtures or mounts to position the downspout accurately and reliably relative to the foundation and other components of the house or building. The device may be turned vertically in conjunction with a specifically formed soil and gravel guard to run downspout conductor pipes along the outside of a foundation before it is backfilled. By installing this system before backfilling, the installer is able to chalk line a path with consistent fall to ensure proper water flow through the pipe.

A drainage device for use under the floor of a building to facilitate drainage of water along a foundation of the building under the floor. A bridge drainage device permits more rapid installation of the drainage devices. The bridge device can be used to bridge between two drainage devices so that it is not necessary to cut the drainage devices precisely to fit on a footing of any selected length.
