A mast assembly, preferably to support a wind turbine, comprises a hollow mast 10 having a base end and two opposed connection points 40a, 40b spaced from the base end; one or more supports 30a, 30b, 30c attached to the connection points 40a, 40b for supporting the mast body 10 and a compression strut 50 within the mast body 10 extending between the two connection points 40a, 40b and abutting an internal surface of the hollow mast. The strut may also extend through holes in the mast and connector plates may cover the strut holes and be held in place by the strut. The strut may be held in place by an interference fit or a screw thread on the strut and hole. |
