Disclosed and described herein are embodiments of an articulated utility pole that facilitates repair and/or reinstallation in the event of damage to the pole caused by wind loading (e.g., storms), trees or other items striking the utility lines, collisions with the poles, and the like. Also disclosed herein are methods of repairing and/or re-installing the articulated utility pole. Further disclosed herein are components for fabricating an articulated utility pole.

A transportable lighting system. The lighting system is designed to withstand the difficult and extreme weather conditions typically experienced in outdoor work sites such as drilling rig environments. The pulley and roller arraignments are designed for minimal friction. The overall pulley and roller design for the lifting of the unit (including the way the cables are orientated) is extremely robust. The outrigger includes fold out and lock in place design. The power source can run a duel transfer switch setup powered by an external supply (like drilling rig power) or from its own 100% back-up generator. Lighting used is typically light in weight and bright. Towers are skid mounted and mobile, e.g., with the use of a truck. Individual lights can swivel and tilt as can the entire bank of lights.

Antenna tower construction/deconstruction biasing assemblies are provided. The biasing assemblies can be configured to extend between a standard and an antenna tower. The assemblies can include: an adjustable linear extension extending between a first end configured to couple with the standard and a second end configured to couple with the antenna tower; and a biasing mechanism configured to adjust the length of the linear extension and maintain the rigid engagement during transitioning of the tower from a down/erect position to an erect/down position. Methods for constructing/deconstructing an antenna tower are provided. The methods can include providing a biasing assembly.

The monitoring system includes a support device which is displaceable, a mast which is supported by the support device, and a stabilization device configured to vertically stabilize the mast during displacements of the support device, the stabilization device including a plurality of support arms which are fastened to the mast and which are angularly offset from each other, and a plurality of air flow generation devices that are fastened to the support arms.

A column bracket assembly is provided. The column bracket assembly comprises a bottom base bracket and a top base bracket, each including a bracket body adapted to receive an end of support element (e.g. a wooden column) and a mounting bracket/plate pivotally coupled to the bracket body and adapted to be coupled to a structural element (e.g. a footing, pile, header, beam etc.). The column bracket assembly optionally includes mounting brackets for installing cross brace brackets and/or tension rods to the bracket bodies. A method of installing the column bracket assembly, and a method of repairing, resettling, shoring, and/or leveling a structure with the column bracket assembly are also provided, along with structures comprising the column bracket assembly.

A base flange assembly for a lattice section of a tower includes a foot having an aperture; a leg welded to the foot, an axis defined between a center of the aperture and a center of the leg. An inner gusset is welded to the foot and the leg along the axis; and an outer gusset is welded to the foot and the leg at an angle with respect to the axis.

Methods for constructing/deconstructing an antenna tower are provided. The methods can include engaging a stability assembly between a standard and a tower to maintain tension in a line used to raise/lower the tower. Antenna tower construction/deconstruction stability assemblies are also provided. The assemblies can include a stability assembly extending from the standard and configured to rigidly engage a portion of the antenna tower, the stability assembly being operable to maintain the rigid engagement during transitioning of the tower from a down/erect position to an erect/down position.

A mobile tower for transportation to and rapid deployment at remote sites where the mobile tower can be engaged with the ground, the mobile tower including an extendable and retractable tower secured to a mobile support structure including a frame having a plurality of rapidly deployable outriggers, wherein the tower includes three series of pivotally interconnected tower sections or segments, sections or segments of which engage with segments of each of the other series when the tower is assembled; the mobile tower including a plurality of guy wires secured between the extendable and retractable tower and the respective outriggers to stabilize the tower after the tower is assembled. The guy wires are preferably secured to the extendable and retractable tower at first and second connecting positions that are displaced from one another about an outer perimeter. Methods of deploying the mobile tower are also disclosed.

A collapsible structure connection system including apparatus for connecting rod segments and apparatus for holding and organizing rod segments. An apparatus for connecting rod segments, such as a pole tip and final rod segment, or two rod segments, may have a pair of mated rod segments and a spring-loaded push-button locking mechanism, with the rod segments connected using an elastomeric connector attached to each rod segment at adjacent, opposing ends. The elastomeric connector may be attached to and held in place against the rod segment using an attachment assembly that may be threaded or unthreaded, and that may mate, or not mate, within the rod segment upon securing the attachment assembly to the rod segment. The spring-loaded push-button locking mechanism may have a spring-loaded push-button seated on a dowel of a male body, and a cavity aperture traversing a dowel cavity of a female body.

Foldable spaceframes that can be easily collapsed and unfolded to construct structurally stable (temporary) walls, for instance for events (concerts, shows, etc.) upon which (digital) display elements can be deployed, as well as a method for the construction of overlying structures comprising the spaceframes.
