    Abstract: A method for installing or mounting a tower is formed by the stacking of two or more mounting groups on a base section. At least one of said mounting groups is formed by a plurality of stacked segments. Said method includes arranging the base section in the definitive position thereof on the ground and lifting and placing the mounting groups of the tower on the base section by means of a mounting crane that can adopt different jib configurations. Advantageously, in said method, at least two or more stacked segments are installed consecutively in the corresponding mounting group with one and the same crane jib configuration. The length of the lowest stacked segment of said mounting group is smaller than the length of at least another stacked segment of the aforementioned mounting group.

    Abstract: A foundation system for supporting a structure may include a main post, a racking post, and a barb assembly. The main post may include an upper section and a lower section below the upper section. The racking post may be telescopically connected to the upper section of the main post. The barb assembly may be connected to the lower section of the main post. The barb assembly may be configured to move from an unexpanded state to an expanded state, thereby forming a wedge shape at a lower section of the main post.

    Abstract: A structure, in particular, a wind turbine tower (1), which is pre-tensioned with at least one tensioning element (3), has a foundation (2), a concrete tower section (4), in particular, consisting of a plurality of precast concrete elements (5), as well as a head piece (6), wherein the tensioning element (3) at least at one of its ends has a tendon anchor (7, 7a, 7b). The tendon anchor (7, 7a, 7b) has an accommodation (8) in which a first end (10a) of an anchor rod (9) is fastened, in particular screwed in. A second end (10b) of the anchor rod (9) is anchored to the foundation (2) or to the head piece (6). In a corresponding method for manufacturing a structure, a first end (10a) of an anchor rod (9) is fastened, in particular screwed in an accommodation (8) of a tendon anchor (7, 7a, 7b), and a second end (10b) of the anchor rod (9) is anchored to the foundation (2) or to the head piece (6).

    Abstract: Recyclable cylindrical structures and usage methods are provided. A recyclable cylindrical structure includes multiple prefabricated cylindrical units. Each unit is provided with a ring block coaxially fixed on the top of the unit, a ring slot coaxially formed in the bottom of the unit, two first sealing rings arranged on the top of the unit and a second sealing ring arranged on the top of the ring block of the unit. The ring block is provided with multiple first connection elements. Multiple second connection elements are arranged in the ring slot. For two adjacent prefabricated cylindrical units of the recyclable cylindrical structure, the ring block of the lower unit inserts into the ring slot of the upper unit and the first connection elements of the lower unit are corresponding and jammed one-to-one with the second connection elements of the upper unit.

    Abstract: A drilling rig system includes a mast that includes one or more front legs, one or more rear legs positioned opposite the one or more front legs, and a crown block at the top of the mast. The system also includes a raising line coupled to the crown block or the one or more rear legs and configured to apply a first force to the mast. The first force acts in a direction opposing a second force generated by the weight of the mast as the mast pivots between a substantially horizontal position and a substantially vertical position. The system also includes a drawworks assembly coupled to the raising line and configured to pull the raising line to generate the first force, and a telescoping spring assembly coupled to the one or more front legs. The telescoping spring assembly is configured to apply a third force to the mast that acts in the direction opposing the second force.
