A method of installing a reusable security barrier is presented that allows quick installation and removal. In one preferred embodiment, the method comprising providing precast concrete panels having a generally rectangular profile elevation, digging a foundation trench having a length equal to or longer than the panel width, lifting and placing the panel such that a portion of the panel is inserted inside the trench and a portion extends generally vertically upward from the trench forming a barrier, and filling and packing the portion of the trench unfiled by the panel with a filler material to provide a solid foundation. The method can further comprise utilizing multiple panels placed side edge to side edge with their bottom portions inserted inside a trench to form a longer security barrier. The method can further comprising removing the precast concrete panels from the trench for reuse in a second site security barrier when the original security barrier is no longer needed.

A modular foundation support system includes modular foundation support components including self-aligning and torque transmitting coupler features wherein a plurality of\elongated ribs are aligned with a plurality of elongated grooves to rotationally interlock the modular foundation support components to one another.

A concentrically loaded foundation pier system which includes several concentrically stacked steel pipes filled with concrete. The entire pier is installed centrally beneath the footing of the structure. Shims are placed between the top-most pier element and a pier cap which prevents shifting when the soil expands and contracts. The final structure is end-loaded and pressed to the bedrock or other load-bearing strata. An alternative embodiment includes a temporary lifting assembly which can be fastened about the structural pier without need for bolts or other fasteners.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing foundations for uprights (1) by using metal sheets (2) embedded by vibration or by percussion comprising the steps of: a. arranging at least two sheets (2), each sheet (2) being provided with position adjustment means with respect to a connection element (5) between the sheet (2) itself and a connector (3) between the sheet (2) and upright (1); b. arranging a connector (3) between the sheet (2) and upright (1), adapted to be integrally connected to said upright (1) and provided with position adjustment means with respect to a connection element (5) between the sheet (2) and the connector (3) itself; c. arranging at least one connection element (5) between each sheet (2) and the connector (3), each connection element (5) being provided with first position adjustment means, adapted to adjust the position thereof with respect to the sheet (2) and second position adjustment means, adapted to adjust the position thereof with respect to the connector (3); d. arranging a centering system (4) for the sheets (2), which can be associated operationally with an embedding machine; e. embedding said sheets (2) into the ground by vibro-embedding or by percussion, with the aid of the centering system (4); f. positioning the connector (3) in the design position, adjusting the relative position between: —each sheet (2) and each connection element (5) by means of said position adjustment means of the sheet (2) and said first position adjustment means of the connection element (5); —each connection element (5) and the connector (3) by means of said position adjustment means of the connector (3) and said second position adjustment means of the connection element (5); g. locking such positions. The present invention also relates to a corresponding kit and to a centering system for sheets 2 adapted to be vibro-embedded or embedded by percussion.

The portable mechanically assembled ground fixation stake device is applied to the engineering of treating land earthwork, water-based desilting, excavating materials, moving, land, underwater heavy objects, civil engineering, harbor, river, lake construction and the like, and is characterized in that the whole device is fixed only by the action of the working tensile force itself. The whole device has six stake columns 2a, 2b, 4a,4b, 9, 1) arranged on the ground, wherein four constituent brackets (2a, 2b, 4a, 4b) are supported on the ground. The top ends of the four supports are mounted on the shaft (6), and a cuboid rigid block (15) is mounted in the middle of the shaft (6). When the system is subjected to pulling force, the cuboid rigid block (15) rotates around the central shaft (6), and due to the opposite movement direction of the two end points of the cuboid rigid block (6), the tension conversion direction of the system forms an inclined downward pressure, so that the protective stake (9) is subjected to pressure at the same time from the pressure rod (7), and due to the fact that the tensile force and the pressure are synchronized, the greater the tension force is also increased, so that the whole device achieves the effect of fixing the stake. The device is light in weight and convenient to carry, and can be mounted and disassembled anywhere.
