Cell Blocks are
an engineered foundation system made from individual precast
concrete Blocks that are assembled in various configurations and
post-tensioned providing a foundation for a monopole and
equipment.
The precast
concrete Blocks have interlocking keys cast into their vertical
faces. Conduits are cast into the Blocks allowing
post-tensioning bars to be inserted horizontally in both
directions and anchor bolts for the pole are also cast into the
Blocks.
Wall panels and
steps that attach to the perimeter Blocks can be supplied
allowing the bulk of the civil construction to be completed in
ONE day.
Cell Blocks are currently
available in 7' x 7' x 2'. The Blocks can be configured in many
ways to meet customer requirements. Cell Blocks pads are also
available for outdoor equipment, diesel generators, and
equipment shelters.
Cell Block foundations are
currently being used by Sprint/Nextel, Verizon, T-mobile, AT&T/Cingular,
ALLTEL, Cricket, the U.S. Military, and others.
Additional blocks can be added
to the Cell Blocks foundation increasing load capacity and
footprint without compromising the integrity of the existing
foundation
