Abstract: An integrated, monopole reinforcement sleeve system for the reinforcement of self-supporting monopoles at select, predetermined locations. The integrated, monopole reinforcement sleeve system is composed of at least one pair of complementary hemi-sleeves and a non-slip filler, wherein the filler is inserted between the sleeves and the monopole. The sleeves are tightened around the monopole, thereby providing integrated monopole reinforcement. A method for the reinforcement of monopoles with an integrated reinforcement sleeve is also described.

Abstract: A load redistribution mechanism for monopoles that facilitates installation, adjusts to area and space requirements, directs load forces along a substantially perpendicular vector to the monopole, and redistributes sum load of forces on the monopole is described. The invention is composed of a variable number of legs that are attached to the monopole at one end and attached to a base at the other end. The legs, generally segmented, allow the transfer of the load along a vector substantially perpendicular to the monopole, are spaced equally at equal angles, and extend equidistantly from the center of the monopole to their respective bases to support the monopole. The method for constructing and installing the invention is also described.
