| 20090217607 | TOWER FOUNDATION SYSTEM - Described herein are various embodiments of a tower foundation system for an above-ground tower. For example, according to one representative embodiment, a tower for supporting a structure above the ground includes a foundation and a second support column section. The foundation includes a first support column section and a plurality of arms that extend radially outward away from an outer surface of the first support column. Additionally, the foundation includes a plurality of elongate anchors coupled to the plurality of arms. The first and second support column sections include each include a plurality of engagement elements engageable with each other to splice the first and second support column sections together. More specifically, the second support column section is insertable into and rests upon the first support column section such that the plurality of engagement elements engage each other. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090255200 | FOUNDATION FOR A WIND TURBINE - This invention comprises a wind turbine foundation with a hollow central body in the shape of a truncated cone which has an upper flange or a pedestal to connect with the tower (not shown), and a lower slab in the shape of a plane ring. In the preferred embodiment, the foundation leans the interior surface of the cone and the lower slab on earth from the local terrain, which takes on the role of permanent formwork; in an alternative embodiment, the interior of the foundation is left hollow and accommodates components of the wind turbine within it; and in a final alternative embodiment, the foundation is placed over the surface of the terrain which supports only the base of the lower slab, the central body not being buried. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20130212966 | POST SLEEVE ASSEMBLY - A post sleeve provides a substantially permanent base for supporting a post for a fence or sign, and from which one post can be removed and replaced with another post. The sleeve includes a concrete body that is poured on site, using a sleeve core prepositioned in the post hole, and around which wet concrete is poured. After the concrete is cured, the core is removed, leaving a post sleeve cavity configured to receive a post. The core can be rigid, or can include a flexible shell and stiffener. A preformed post sleeve top can be attached to the sleeve core and positioned therewith in the post hole, to become a permanent part of the post sleeve, once the concrete cures. A drain is attached to the core, and remains in the sleeve when the core is removed, and can be a percolation chamber, or passage extending below the sleeve. | 08-22-2013 |
| 20140115987 | WIND FARM AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING A WIND FARM - It comprises a number of wind turbines having a modular jacket formed of at least an upper substructure, an intermediate substructure, and a lower substructure that are connectable to each other. At least the intermediate substructure in a wind turbine foundation is different in height (h) from at least one substructure in another wind turbine foundation in order to adapt the different wind turbines of the wind farm to a site having differences in depth (ΔH) where the wind turbines of the wind farm are installed of the order of about 20 to 60 m. | 05-01-2014 |
| 20140230352 | TANK STAND - A tank base for supporting a conforming tank. A pair of base elements each includes mating edges which conform to one another. A connection joins the base elements, the connection having a connection channel along the mating edge of one of the base elements and a connection union along the mating edge of the other of the elements, with the connection channel and the connection union interengaging to form the connection. The base elements, when joined, form a support platform. In one form of the invention, the support platform supports a tank. In another form of the invention, a base cover, comprising a pair of cover elements, adjoins the support platform and has a planar surface for supporting a tank thereon. In yet another form, there are a plurality of base elements which interlock in a dovetail fashion. | 08-21-2014 |
| 20150082719 | COLUMN BASE FITTING AND COLUMN BASE STRUCTURE USING IT - A column base fitting | 03-26-2015 |
| 20150082720 | WIND TURBINE FOUNDATION - It comprises at least one substantially elongated pin associated with a wind turbine tower and at least one corresponding substantially elongated pile to be inserted into a surface and adapted for receiving at least one portion of the pin. A chamber is defined between the pin and the pile for receiving grout. At least one of the pin and the pile is provided with connecting plates extending inside the grouting chamber and provided with holes through which the grout passes. The connecting plates may extend radially inside the grouting chamber, aligned or not to each other or with the center of the pin or the pile. | 03-26-2015 |
