A TERRAIN COMPLIANT, ECO-FRIENDLY, MODULAR BALLAST SYSTEM WITH OPTIONAL INTEGRATED WIRE MANAGEMENT AND RACKING SYSTEM

摘要

A modular ballast system (10) for supporting objects uses tubing (12) such as pipes of appropriate size for the (5) required ballast. Once in place, the empty pipes are filled with a watery mix (14) (slurry) of sand, silt, gravel, soil, cement or other generally available material to generate a majority of the ballast weight. A two piece clamping mechanism (16) provides fixed placement attachment points (18) suitable for attachment by supported structures. The lower piece (20) of the clamping mechanism (16) sits under the ballast tubing (12) and is designed to both support and disperse the anticipated weight of the objects with minimal impact on the surface beneath it.
