摘要： The disclosure describes, in part, apparatuses and methods for installing structures (e.g., foundations, footings, anchors, abutments, etc.) at work sites, such as difficult-access work sites. In some instances, a rotating drill assembly is assembled over a target location in order to excavate a radial array of batter-angled shafts associated with the target location in preparation for the installation of a radial array of micropiles. An operator utilizes the rotating drill in combination with a foundation pile schedule/decision matrix to design and install the radial array of batter-angled micropiles. This disclosure also describes techniques for designing, fabricating and installing structural caps to be coupled to the installed radial array batter angled micropiles. These structural caps are lightweight and, thus, more portable to difficult-access sites where they are coupled to the micropiles forming a foundation for structure to be installed at the difficult-access site.

摘要： The disclosure describes, in part, battered composite piles arranged in-line with angled legs of a tower (e.g., lattice tower). The number of battered composite piles may be equal to the number of angled tower legs of the tower, and each of the battered composite piles may attach to a respective angled tower leg and may have batter angles at angles that match an angle of the angled legs of the tower. These battered composite piles are loaded predominantly axially rather than in shear and, thus, the piles may be designed to be much smaller in size while still meeting safety requirements. In addition, the piles may be installed in less time and at a lower cost than compression/lift and shear loaded foundations.

摘要翻译： 本公开部分地描述了用于在诸如难以访问的工作现场的工作场所安装结构（例如，基础，基座，锚固件，基台等）的装置和方法。 在一些情况下，将旋转钻头组件组装在目标位置上，以便挖掘与目标位置相关联的面向角度的轴的径向阵列，以准备安装径向阵列的微孔。 操作人员利用旋转钻机与基础桩计划/决策矩阵组合设计和安装面阵倾斜的微量的径向阵列。 本公开还描述了用于设计，制造和安装结构盖以耦合到安装的径向阵列面糊倾斜的微孔的技术。 这些结构帽是重量轻的，因此更易携带到难以进入的位置，在这些位置，它们耦合到形成用于安装在难以进入的站点处的结构的基础的微孔。
