Abstract:
Reinforcement arrangement for a pole including abase flange surrounding a bottom of the pole, elongate tubes connected to the base flange and arranged at discrete locations around a circumference of the pole to extend vertically alongside the pole and annular clamping collars arranged around the pole at different vertical locations. The tubes are attached to the clamping collars to thereby form a skeletal framework around the pole which provides increased load-bearing capability to the pole and enables installation of additional antennas on the pole. The base flange is supported above the base plate by gussets which are welded to the base plate and pole. The clamping collars are each formed from several collar segments, each extending partially around the circumference of the pole with adjacent collar segments being attached to one another.
