TEMPORARY BRACE SYSTEM FOR A STRUCTURE
A temporary brace system includes a temporary brace having a top portion coupleable to a building structure, a bottom portion that contacts the ground, and a middle portion interposed between the top and the bottom portions. The top portion has an adapter capable of receiving numerous attachment brackets so as to be coupleable to any building structure. The middle portion of the temporary brace includes cable struts that may be hingedly coupled to a first and a second support at a first end and may receive support cables. The middle portion may further include hoisting brackets to allow a connection point for hoisting and transporting the temporary brace system. The bottom portion may have a bolt coupler and an adjustment unit. The adjustment unit allows the first and the second support to be extended or shortened via a telescoping bracket.

COMPRESSION POST WITH VISUAL INDICATION SYSTEM
An indicator for a compression post includes a leg defining an upper end and a lower end, the lower end configured to engage a support plate of the compression post; and an indicator bracket comprising a central portion coupled to the leg at the upper end and an indication portion oriented distal to the leg, the central portion defining a bend extending away from the leg such that the indication portion is laterally offset from the leg, the indicator defining a first visual indicator configured to indicate that the compression post is in either a compressed configuration or an uncompressed configuration.

Method for displacing a ceiling formwork, collision protection element, and ceiling formwork, supporting device and incremental launching device comprising such a collision protection element
A method for displacing a ceiling formwork for a nearest concreting section, wherein first and second supporting devices for supporting the ceiling formwork are arranged below the nearest concreting section. Said supporting devices each have a shuttering position and a stripping position, wherein the ceiling formwork is raised to a concreting level in the shuttering position and lowered relative to the concreting level in the stripping position. The first supporting device is moved into the stripping position and the second supporting device is moved into the shuttering position, and a collision protection element is arranged between the second supporting device and an end face of the ceiling formwork when the end face of the ceiling formwork strikes the second supporting device after passing over the first supporting device, so the collision protection element forms a flank rising in the displacement direction for guiding the ceiling formwork in the displacement direction.

Telescopic edge protection post
A telescopic edge protection post arrangeable between a floor and a ceiling, wherein the telescopic edge protection post comprises an outer tube having a floor end and a top end, and an inner tube having a bottom end and a ceiling end. The inner tube extends into the outer tube and is movable with respect thereto between an extended position and a collapsed position. The post further has a locking mechanism arranged to lock the inner tube with respect to the outer tube, and a tensioning device. The locking mechanism comprises a fixed element, which is attached to the outer tube at its top end, and a movable element, which is movable with respect to the fixed element between a locking position in which the movable element engages with the inner tube and the fixed element to prevent the inner tube from being retracted into the outer tube.

Laterally and vertically adjustable foundation structure
A foundation structure is made up of a screw that is vertically adjustable into a pile to a desired height, a ball joint connected to the screw, and load bearing components that can be adjusted on the ball joint in 3-dimensional space with respect to the position of the pile. The load bearing components include one or more plates that define one or more hollow slots into which one or more bolts can be held in place vertically while still having allowance for lateral motion. A load bearing plate at the top of the structure can be laterally translated based on movement of the bolt. The load bearing plate is removably coupled to the floor of a building. The structure allows for vertical, lateral, and angular adjustment, providing tolerance for foundation misalignments due to inconsistencies inherent to topography and/or offset between an intended and an actual point of installation.
