STRENGTHENING OF POLES

摘要

A power pole is reinstated by reinforcing the pole with a bridging beam having sleeve conforming to a portion of the outer circumference of the pole. The bridging beam includes a brace of hollow cross section which is constructed to provide radial and tangential reinforcement and reinforcement against twisting. The bridging beam is pushed into the ground surrounding the pole and attached to the pole by connectors extending through the pole to a backing plate or similar bridging beam provided on the opposite side of the pole.
