Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing self-standing, self-supporting, rapid-deployable (S4RD) towers for communications and similar applications, and in particular to ballast base systems that enable the self-standing, self-supporting, rapid-deployable features while eliminating the need for a permanent foundation for the tower. Novel and inventive tower designs, wherein a user may climb through an interior volume of the tower while using the tower structure as both ladder and man cage, are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A ballast base system for a tower, comprising:\n at least one ballast base block; and at least one pendant support, interconnecting the at least one ballast base block to an upper portion of the tower, wherein the at least one ballast base block and the at least one pendant support are configured such that the weight of the ballast base block is imparted as a downward force on the upper portion of the tower, the downward force sufficient to provide a pre-load onto the Ballast Base system that provides stiffness and to overcome an overturning moment imparted on the tower.
