SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR ELEVATING AND SUPPORTING MONOPOLES AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to an elevated support structure (30) designed primarily to support a communications antenna (32) mounted atop a monopole (34) and all accompanying equipment. The support structure (30) comprises a mounting ring (38) having six base legs (40) extending therefrom, equidistant from one another. Each base leg (40) has an anchoring foot (44) attached at its end that is anchored to a perimeter foundation (46). The perimeter foundation (46) is comprised of either a concrete pier or a unique combination of an earth/rock anchor (50, 55) and a reinforced concrete footing (52). Decking (82) may be mounted to, and span between, the base legs (40) of the support (30) to support cabinets, telco cabinets, and shelters (36) for housing accompanying equipment.
