Benefits of technology
"The present invention provides an efficient solution for constructing a foundation for a telecommunication site or the like, using prefabricated concrete equipment shelters. The shelters are arranged on site and mechanically attached together, creating a monolithic foundation that can withstand overturning loads from the tower. A foundation enhancement assembly can also be added to increase the contact area between the foundation and the underlying supporting surface. The method includes preparing the foundation components, executing site preparation works, placing the foundation elements, effecting and tightening the coupling between them, and filling the spaces within and around the foundation elements with soil or material. The overall effect of the invention is an efficient and reliable solution for constructing a foundation for telecommunication sites."
Problems solved by technology
Many types of wireless telecom networks, and especially cellular telephone networks or the like, require a large number of remote, unmanned sites.
In recent years, as the number of various network operators in each country, and consequently the number and density of Greenfield sites, have been constantly increasing—the obtainment of building permits for new Greenfield sites serving a single network has become increasingly difficult, especially in the more developed countries, where environmental aspects have become an increasingly important consideration.

Embodiment Construction
[0062] The present invention relates to a multi-functional foundation for the tower of a telecommunication site or the like, where the design of a plurality of prefabricated concrete equipment shelters, which are required primarily for the purpose of housing the indoor equipments of a plurality of networks utilizing said tower, is made such that these shelters, after being appropriately positioned and coupled altogether, function also as a suitable foundation for the tower.
[0063] As long as the overturning resistance capacity (by structural analysis methods complying with all applicable standards) of the basic foundation assembly described above is found sufficient to stabilize said tower, considering its height and antenna loading—said basic foundation construction, comprising only said coupled shelters, will be applied, and will therefore be placed totally above ground level. Nevertheless, even in said case, the natural soil underneath the foundation (with some excess dimensions ...

A foundation for a tower of a telecommunication site or the like, which may serve a plurality of networks or users and requires therefore a plurality of equipment shelters, is basically formed of a plurality of prefabricated concrete equipment shelters coupled altogether so as to function as a monolithic foundation. When an increase of the foundation's overturning resistance capacity is required, an enhancement assembly of prefabricated foundation elements coupled altogether by similar means to those used for coupling said shelters, is placed under said basic assembly of shelters, and the two assemblies are mechanically vertically fastened to each other.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates in general to foundations for towers and, in particular, to foundations for towers in telecommunication sites that are commonly used by a plurality of networks or users, each network or user requiring its own equipment shelter. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Many types of wireless telecom networks, and especially cellular telephone networks or the like, require a large number of remote, unmanned sites. [0003] In areas where no buildings, or only very low-rise buildings exist, such sites are normally located on bare ground, and are usually referred to as “Greenfield Sites”. A Greenfield site employs a tower which supports various antennae at required heights above the ground, and in most cases also at least one shelter, which is usually a prefabricated small room serving as an enclosure for the indoor electronic equipment. When the Greenfield site serves more than one network, either a plurality of shelters or a single l...
