Provided is a composite tower structure and a method of designing and assembling the same, the composite tower structure including: a tower body, a foundation to which a bottom end of the tower body is fixed, a plurality of vertical supports disposed around a perimeter of the tower body, and a support structure connecting a top end of each of the plurality of vertical supports to the tower body. The composite tower structure may further include one or more intermediate guide structure(s) connected to the tower body and supporting a middle portion of the plurality of vertical supports.

A pole gin including a first portion having a first strap attachment configured to secure the pole gin to a utility pole at a first location and a second portion having a second strap attachment configured to secure the pole gin to the utility pole at a second location spaced from the first location. The first portion and the second portion can be adjustable relative to one another to vary a distance between the first location and the second location.

A method of modular pole construction an elongate modular pole structure is disclosed. A first step of the method involves providing hollow pole section modules, each module having an elongated structure with a base end and an opposed tip end. The modules are stacked to form an elongated modular pole structure of a selected length by mating the tip end of a base module with the base end of an additional module. One or more than one of the modules forming the elongated modular pole structure comprise a composite material having fire resistant properties

An easy dump bucket for installation of post has a bucket that is essentially tubular with a bottom portion and an opening towards a front bottom portion of the bucket. A pair of door tracks are vertically and parallelly located along the sides of the opening. A door is slidably disposed within the tracks and rests against the bottom portion when closed. The door slides upward to an open position by moving it up. A handle is connected to the door and interacts with a latch that keeps the door open. The bottom portion of the bucket is angled to gravitationally direct fill material towards the opening. A lifting arm is attached to a top portion of the bucket to allow the bucket to be lifted into place during use. A guide portion is disposed along the top portion of the bucket on the same side as the opening.

An apparatus for plumbing a transmission or distribution pole comprising: multiple pole brackets connected with an adjustable ratchet strap; multiple scissor jacks with each having a jack mount; at least one power drill or hand crank to adjust the scissor jack; whereby the pole can be efficiently adjusted into the proper plumb or leveled position.

A method for manufacturing a tower structure of a wind turbine includes printing, via an additive printing device, a plurality of concentric sections of the tower structure of the wind turbine. The concentric sections may be printed simultaneously from concrete, may include tensioning cables or other structural supports, and may define other support flanges or overhangs. After curing, the method may include raising an inner section of the plurality of concentric sections to a top of an adjacent outer section and joining the two sections. This process may be repeated to telescope the concentric sections and raise the tower structure.

An emergency restoration system is disclosed. The emergency restoration system including a base and a tower pivotally connected to the base. The tower including at least one tower section and at least one insulated tower section pivotally connected to the at least one tower section, the insulated tower section including at least one insulator pivotally connected thereto.
