Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a breakaway cable attachment system for attaching a cable to a utility pole. The breakaway cable attachment system can include a rail, a bracket, and a clamp. The rail can be attachable to a utility pole and have a base and two sidewalls extending outwardly from the base and forming a slot. The bracket can have an attachment portion and a mounting portion that extends at an angle away from the attachment portion. The mounting portion can be configured to extend at least partially into the slot of the rail for attachment to the rail. The clamp can be attachable to the attachment portion and receive and support a cable. The breakaway cable attachment system can be configured to prevent damage to the utility pole and/or the cable when a predetermined load is applied to the cable by detaching the cable from the utility pole.

Abstract: This disclosed technology includes a cathodic protection system for protection of metal components. The cathodic protection system can include a non-solid anodic composition, such as an anodic paste. The non-solid anodic composition can include zinc and/or magnesium. The cathodic protection system can include a barrier protection system that can include one or more layers. The barrier protection system can include an outer moisture barrier.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes temporary support structures for use in the repair of a transmission tower. A typical transmission tower includes a tripod that receives the load of the tower and distributes it to piles embedded in the ground. A temporary support structure can temporarily remove the load of the transmission tower from the tripod to enable removal of the tripod and installation of a new tripod. A temporary support system can include a bearing platform system attachable to piles of the transmission tower, a bearing frame supported by the bearing platform system, a lifting system supported by the bearing frame, and a flower pot adapter configured to attach to a portion of the transmission tower, and the temporary support system can thereby be configured to remove the load of the transmission tower from the tripod of the transmission tower.

A typical transmission tower includes a tripod that receive the load of the tower and distributes it to piles embedded in the ground. A temporary support structure may temporarily remove the load of the transmission tower from the tripod to allow the tripod to be removed and replaced with a new tripod. A temporary support system may include a pile temporary support system, a beam support structure supported by the pile temporary support system, and a flower pot adapter lifting assembly configured to attach to a portion of the transmission tower to transfer a load of the transmission tower to the beam support structure.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a tripod reinforcement beam for reinforcing a tripod grillage of a transmission tower. The tripod reinforcement beam may include top and bottom faces that are substantially planar surfaces, a rear face disposed substantially perpendicularly between a rear edge of the top face and a rear edge of the bottom face, and a front face disposed between a front edge of the top face and a front edge of the bottom face. The rear face may include first and second substantially planar rear face portions and an angled rear face portion. The front face may be include first and second substantially planar front face portions that are oriented parallel to the first and second substantially planar rear face portions, respectively.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes utility pole repair plates for repairing a pole, such as a utility pole. One or more utility pole repair plates may be attached to a utility pole in an interconnected fashion to cover a portion or the entire circumference of a utility pole. A utility pole repair plate may include multiple substantially planar interconnected plate segments disposed at angles designed to accommodate a particular pole geometry.
