Anchor post
Provided herein are methods, devices and systems comprising an anchor post that has a shaft, at least one stabilizing element attached to the anchor post configured to resist movement of the anchor post, and at least one alignment element.
Anchor, tensioning device, wind energy plant and method for tensioning tensile cords on an anchor
The invention relates to an anchor, more particularly a fixed anchor, for a tensioning device designed for attachment on a construction for holding tensile cords, such as wires, rods, more particularly tensile wires, tension rods, or the like on the anchor, with a multi-part anchor head, wherein the anchor head has an anchor plate in the form of a perforated disc with a feed-through for separately guiding a tensile cord, wherein the feed-through is one of a number of feed-throughs and the tensile cord is one of a number of tensile cords, as well as an intermediate disc mounted on one side of the perforated disc and having a further feed-through for separately guiding the tensile cord, wherein the further feed-through is one of a number of further feed-throughs in the intermediate disc and the tensile cord is the one of the number of tensile cords. According to the invention it is proposed that the intermediate disc is formed as a transition plate which supports at least in the further feed-through a security sleeve which is designed to anchor the tensile cord automatically under tension.

Mobile drilling rig
A drilling rig may include a pair of main beams supportable by a pair of rails, a substructure, an A-frame secured to the main beams, and a mast pivotably secured to the main beams and configured to lay down in a pre-erected stage. The substructure may include a plurality of pivoting legs, a drill floor having a plurality of spreaders pivotably supported by the plurality of pivoting legs, and a plurality of drill floor subassemblies supported by the plurality of spreaders. The plurality of pivoting legs supporting the spreaders may be configured to lay down in a pre-erected stage as well.
SUPPORT TOWER, PARTICULARLY FOR A WIND TURBINE
A support tower, particularly for a wind turbine. The support tower has at least a first elongated component which is internally hollow and at least a second elongated component which is slidably coupled to the at least a first elongated component and movable relative to the at least a first elongated component at least between a retracted position. The second elongated component is at least partially inserted in the at least a first elongated component, and an extracted position, where the at least a second elongated component is substantially extracted from the at least a first elongated component. A moving device for moving the second elongated component from the retracted position to the extracted position, and vice versa, and a blocking device configured to allow the at least a second elongated component to be blocked in the extracted position, are also provided.

Tower section and wind generating set
A tower section and a wind generating set. The tower section comprises a tower section body and hoisting lugs, wherein through holes are provided in the sidewall of the tower section body, and an inner cavity of the tower section is communicated with the outside by means of the through holes; the hoisting lugs are provided in the through holes, are movable along central lines of the through holes, and can move between a first position where the hoisting lugs extend out of the tower section body and a second position where the hoisting lugs are retracted to the tower section body, so as to hoist the tower section. Because the hoisting lugs can selectively extend out, a tower hoist is not needed to be connected to a flange in a tower section hoisting process, and the hoist is mounted on the hoisting lugs.
UTILITY POLE GIN TOOL
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.

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.
Raising device configured to be connected to a tower segment
A raising device realized to be connected to a tower segment of a wind turbine is provided. The raising device comprises a connection member to a raising machine and a plurality of holding members positioned at predefined distances from each other and orientated to be movable in radial locking directions which locking directions are such that the holding members when moved into a locking position at a predefined engagement position of the tower segment engage with a counter-shape of the tower segment, whereby the holding members are automatically tiltable and/or shiftable into the locking position by a movement mechanism. A method of equipping a tower segment of a wind turbine for transport by means of such raising device is also provided.
