The invention relates to an access panel configured for fixing to a service aperture in a wind turbine tower wall; wherein the access panel comprises a main panel and an adjacent sub-panel; the sub-panel comprising a bearing surface at an edge thereof; the main panel comprising a reference surface at an edge thereof; the main panel and the sub-panel being abuttable along a common seam; the seam comprising a said sub-panel bearing surface abutting a main panel reference surface; the main panel being dimensioned to close a main region of a tower wall aperture whereas the sub-panel is dimensioned to close a first sub-region of the aperture. The invention includes a method according to which the sub-panel is placed into a tower wall aperture and adjusted to bring its bearing surface into a predetermined position. Thereafter, a main panel is placed in the aperture with its reference surface in abutment with the bearing surface, thereby quickly and easily and reliably locating the main panel for securely fixing in the tower aperture.

A multiuse utility pole is presented that may house various public and quasi-public infrastructure. In one non-limiting embodiment, the multiuse pole houses cell control equipment and one or more cellular antennas. In any embodiment, the multiuse pole incorporates an optically transparent or translucent section (hereafter transparent section) in its pole structure that allows for enclosing a camera such that the camera has a substantially unobstructed 360-degree field-of-view.

The present disclosure describes a module for a telecommunications pole. The module may include a main base plate configured such that telecommunications equipment can be mounted thereto, a top frame member and a bottom frame member coupled to opposing ends of the main base plate and extending outwardly from, and generally perpendicularly to, the main base plate; and a plurality of side frame members coupled to the top and bottom frame members, each side frame member extending collinearly with the main base plate. The top, bottom and side frame members each include a plurality of recesses and protrusions configured and/or positioned such that the top, bottom, and side frame members may be aligned and assembled within the telecommunications pole. Module assemblies and methods of assembling the modules are also described herein.

A wind turbine tower access panel is disclosed and is removably fixable at a service aperture in a tower wall to thereby close the aperture. The access panel is generally planar and extends radially about an axis normal thereto. Additionally, the access panel includes a set of two or more fixing elements configured to securely fix the access panel in place at the aperture. Each fixing element includes an axial clamp, the clamp including an anchor fixed to the access panel, a clamping force adjuster and a clamp head having a clamping surface. The clamp head includes a relatively deformable resilient material which deforms under an applied clamping load of the clamp thereby applying a clamping force to the tower wall.

A modular monopole for wireless communications includes: an antenna module having a floor, a ceiling and a side wall that form an antenna compartment, wherein at least one antenna resides within the antenna compartment; a radio module having a floor, a ceiling and a side wall that form a radio compartment, wherein at least one remote radio unit (RRU) resides within the radio compartment; and a base. The base, the radio module, and the antenna module are arranged in vertically stacked relationship, with the base below the radio module and the antenna module above the radio module.

A post for mounting electronic equipment includes: a base configured to hold computing equipment; a mount configured to hold the electronic equipment; a tube mast comprising a first portion configured to connect with the base and a second portion configured to connect with the mount, wherein the tube mast is configured to receive wiring that passes through the tube mast from the computing equipment to the electronic equipment; and a cabinet configured to enclose the base and the computing equipment to protect the computing equipment from exposure to weather. The first portion of the tube mast can include one or more hinges that allow the tube mast to fold relative to the base. The base can include at least one through hole, and the second portion of the tube mast can include at least one ventilation hole, to provide passive cooling of the computing equipment.

A light pole repair/reinforcement assembly can include a reinforcement member having a reinforcement sleeve and reinforcement base plate configured to fit around a damaged light pole. The reinforcement sleeve can be used to bridge a damaged portion of the light pole to repair the pole without removing all or a portion of the pole. A modular pole assembly can include a pole base configured to mate with the pole portion via one or more wedge bolts, with or without welding. The modular pole assembly can include a cap configured to mate with an upper end of the pole portion. Locking hand hole covers, blind bolts, and/or base covers, as described herein, can be used in combination with the light pole repair assembly and/or with the modular pole assembly. In some cases, the locking hand hole covers, blind bolts, and/or base covers can in other applications.

A street pole comprising an antenna section with a coaxially mounted antenna around a pole. The antenna section having a length L and comprising at least one of the following features: suspension with O-rings wherein the O-rings are each mounted at a distance Dr of 0.5*(1???2)*L from a respective end of the antenna; a fix suspension at bottom; a reduced outer diameter of the pole at at least one end (i.e. top end and/or bottom end) of the antenna; andone of i) an extruded cable sleeve with opening in circumference over its full length for easy assembling and to spring mount the cable sleeve around the pole, and ii) a grooved pole with specifically shaped grooves for collecting residual particles at preferred locations.
