  • Patent number: 11339550
    Abstract: A pre-fabricated load bearing structural assembly includes a foundation, a pole, and a cap. At least one of the foundation and the cap is unitary fabricated with at least one internal cellular and/or volumetric enclosure that transfers lateral and axial stresses away from the pole. A pole section disposed inside a foundation pole cavity is configured to rest on a corresponding support structure centrally disposed at the bottom of the cavity. The pole section exterior wall/s profile and dimensions in proximity to the pole cavity aperture is/are precisely defined. At least one cap, precisely fabricated, fills in the gap between the exterior wall/s of the pole and the inner wall/s of the pole cavity in proximity to the aperture opening of the pole cavity. The pole resting on the corresponding centrally disposed structure at the bottom of the pole cavity is plumbed by the precisely fabricated cap.
