Patent number: 11359399Abstract: A stealth pole includes a plurality of canister sections, each of the plurality of canister sections including a spine, a first splice plate located on a first end of the spine, a second splice plate located on a second end of the spine, and a canister cover that covers the spine, the first splice plate and the second splice plate. A method for reinforcing the stealth pole includes removing the canister cover from at least one of the plurality of canister sections; attaching a plurality of stiffener members to the first splice plate and the second splice plate; and applying tension, compression or a combination thereof to the plurality of stiffener members. The plurality of stiffener members reinforce the spine of the canister section. A reinforced stealth pole is also described.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2018Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Tower Engineering Solutions, LLCInventors: Jaime Reyes, Hanming You, Robert Semaan

Patent number: 11210437Abstract: A method includes rendering, by a user interface of a computing device, a plurality of antenna mount options. The method includes receiving a selection of an antenna mount option. The method includes generating a geometry of a tower and the antenna mount option including a relative position of each of a plurality of tower components based on a load bearing capacity of the tower and the antenna mount option. The method includes rendering the generated geometry. The method includes generating, using the geometry and the load bearing capacity, an input file for a modeling program. The method includes importing the input file to the modeling program and running the modeling program, wherein the modeling program performs a structural analysis of the tower and the antenna mount option. The method includes rendering a result of the structural analysis including a stress and strain of the tower and the antenna mount option.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2018Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Tower Engineering Solutions, LLCInventors: Robert Semaan, Hanming You

Publication number: 20210010287Abstract: A porthole reinforcement is configured to attach to a telecommunications pole defining a porthole. The porthole reinforcement includes a first reinforcement segment comprising a first gusset configured to at least partially extend through the porthole and a first plate attached to the first gusset, the first plate defining a first plurality of bores each configured to receive a respective bolt so as to couple the first reinforcement segment to the telecommunications pole. The porthole reinforcement segment also includes a second reinforcement segment comprising a second gusset configured to at least partially extend through the porthole and a second plate attached to the second gusset, the second plate defining a second plurality of bores each configured to receive a respective bolt so as to couple the second reinforcement segment to the telecommunications pole. The first and second reinforcement segments are configured to attach to the telecommunications pole independently from each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2019Publication date: January 14, 2021Inventors: Hanming You, Jaime Reyes

Patent number: 8745933Abstract: A reinforcing system for a guy anchor used in a guyed or additionally guyed tower includes a concrete structure formed around the guy anchor. The concrete structure has a top surface slightly above grade level. The reinforcing system further includes a supplemental anchor shaft. The supplemental anchor shaft is attached to the existing anchor head and extends down into the concrete structure, where it is retained and encased therein. The concrete structure preferably has a base and at least one wall that extends down from the base and has a surface that faces the tower to resist horizontal forces. The reinforcing system is sufficiently strong to keep the guy anchor in place even if the original anchor shaft completely corrodes. The supplemental anchor shaft does not generally come into contact with soil. It therefore resists corrosion and is expected to provide a long service life.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2013Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: ATC IP LLCInventors: Jaime Reyes, Hanming You

Patent number: 8578665Abstract: A modular guy anchor includes an anchor head and an anchor shaft. The anchor head includes a tubular region for receiving the anchor shaft. The anchor shaft has one end that extends into or through the tubular region and is retained therein. The anchor shaft is preferably galvanized steel coated over at least a portion of its length with a corrosion-resistant material. The corrosion-resistant material is preferably applied over any portion of the anchor shaft that is exposed to soil during normal use. The modularity of the guy anchor facilitates stocking, shipping, and installation, while the corrosion resistance of the anchor shaft promotes longevity.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2013Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: ATC IP LLCInventors: Jaime Reyes, Hanming You, Hernando Artista
