<p>Method and arrangement for reinforcing an utility pole (3) including a plurality of anchorages (28, 29), each of which are locatable at a different vertical position on the utility pole (3) and having a tension member (30) configured to be coupled between at least a pair of said anchorages (28, 29) for increasing the load capacity of the receiving utility pole (3) when thereby fortified. Exemplarily, the utility pole (3) is configured to receive above-ground appurtenances. In a complimentary embodiment, the arrangement further includes a compression member (36), which may take the same form as the tension member (30), but with oppositely acting forces imposed therein.</p> |
