FENCE POST EXTENDER
A fence post extender that comprises an expanded section of fence post extender coupled on the outside of a base post of an existing fence assembly.
Subsection of a tower section, a tower and a method for manufacturing a subsection of a tower section
A subsection 100 of a tower section comprises a shell segment 120 of the tower section and at least a longitudinal flange 130 mounted to a longitudinal side of the shell segment 120 for connecting to a longitudinal flange of a further subsection of the tower section. Here, the longitudinal flange 130 comprises a part 132 of a surface contour extending from a contact surface 136 of the longitudinal flange 130 which is provided for a connection to a longitudinal flange of a further subsection to a connecting surface 134 connected to the shell segment 120. The part 132 of the surface contour comprises a distance to a contacting plane 106 passing through the contact surface 136.
Method of constructing a wind tower foundation with pedestal and ribs
A wind turbine foundation comprising a concrete support slab having a horizontal rebar grid therein, a concrete pedestal integral with the support slab and having vertical post tensioning elements therein and a plurality of concrete ribs on top of and integral with the support slab and integral with the pedestal, the ribs having rebar therein and extend outwardly from the pedestal, the pedestal, slab and ribs are connected to each other to form a monolithic foundation. The foundation design reduces the weight and volume of materials used, reduces cost, and improves heat dissipation conditions during construction by having a small ratio of concrete mass to surface area thus eliminating the risk of thermal cracking due to heat of hydration.
Cable anchoring means for a horizontal joint and cable anchoring procedure for a horizontal joint
Cable anchoring means for a horizontal joint between two elements, comprising: a cable partially embedded in an element, a receiving through duct provided in the other element to receive the protruding portion of said cable, traction means, fastening means and a threading device applicable on said protruding portion of said cable and comprising a part with a pointed and flexible geometry that extends coaxially with respect to said protruding portion from the free end of said protruding portion. a cable anchoring procedure for a horizontal joint between two elements, comprising: a) providing said elements; b) providing said anchoring means; c) bringing said elements close to one another and threading said cable into said duct; also comprising the step c): c.1) stopping the approximation when the distance between the elements is adequate; c.2) placing said flexible part inside said duct; c.3) resuming movement.
Portable monopole tower with adjustable foundation
A modular foundation includes a central portion and a plurality of legs non-rotatably secured to and extending from the central portion. The plurality of legs are substantially equally spaced apart from each other wherein each leg includes a proximal end and a distal end. A ballast support adapter is attached to the distal end of each leg wherein the adapter is configured to support one or more ballast plates such that each leg can be independently positioned for leveling the foundation and supporting the monopole in a vertical position. A platform supports the monopole and is pivotally attached to the central portion wherein the platform is configured to move from a vertical position to a horizontal position.
Mobile utility pole
A mobile pole for temporary support of one or more electrical lines includes a boom assembly mounted on a wheeled trailer. The boom assembly includes a plurality of segments pivotably attached to one another. Actuators acting between the segments effect pivoting motion to deploy and stow the segments. A utility pole having one or more cross members is mounted on a free end of one of the segments. The utility pole is rotatable about its longitudinal axis to orient the cross members relative to the electrical lines.
Container mobility lift
A lifting device for lifting shipping containers has an end frame configured to engage with a shipping container. An extension member is rotatably connected to the end frame at a rearward upper pivot point. A support frame is rotatably affixed to the end frame at a rearward lower pivot point. The support frame is further rotatably affixed to the extension member at a forward upper pivot point. Extension of the extension member rotates the support frame with respect to the end plate, causing the support frame to move the end plate upwards, the end plate then lifting the shipping container. A roller wheel is affixed to the support frame and allows the shipping container to be rolled on a surface when multiple devices are used to lift the shipping container off of the surface.

Stackable horizontal mast assembly
A stackable enclosure for support of a mast stored in horizontal position and rotatable to a vertically deployed position. The enclosure employs a housing have sidewalls constructed and arranged to support a plurality of stacked enclosures. The dimensions of the enclosure with wheels can allow for the transporting of thirty units on a single 48 drop deck trailer. The enclosure has a hinged lid to allow ease of access to the interior which can house a power system to operate a bank of lights. Outriggers positioned along each corner of the enclosure provide stability to the mast in high winds. A hinged axle can be used to pivot enclosure wheels upward, allowing the enclosure to rest flush on a trailer deck or ground surface.
Foundation for the support of a structure and method of installation
A method for installing a foundation in a ground for supporting a structure thereon, the method comprising the drilling of a main column borehole in the ground along an axis parallel to an axis of a force exerted by a load of the structure, inserting a main column into the main column borehole, drilling at least one anchor borehole at an angle away from the main column, inserting an anchor into each of the at least one anchor borehole, injecting a sealant into each of the at least one anchor borehole, after the sealant is dry securing a base to a top of the main column, securing to the base and placing under tension each anchor inserted into each of the at least one anchor borehole, the tension being such as to counteract radial forces to be induced by the structure to a longitudinal axis of the main column.
