It facilitates the foundation and assembling of the pedestal () on the ground, allowing calibration of its verticality and azimuthal orientation, further serving as a formwork element. Said frame comprises a quadrangular structure (), articulated in at least one of its corners, preferably two, and adapted to surround the pedestal (), which is provided with four horizontal profiles (); calibration bolts () through which the pedestal () is pressed and adjusted in a vertical position; with said bolts () being inserted into nuts (), which are connected to vertical bodies () linked to the profiles (); and plates () linked to those profiles () which feature holes () through which picks () are vertically inserted, designed to be nailed to the ground for fixation and stability of the frame.

Frame for supporting and calibrating a pedestal, preferably for a heliostat

It allows lifting the heliostat in the warehouse and placing it on the cart, and once it reaches the installation spot in the field, the lifting structure is used to lift the heliostat from the cart and place it on a previously installed pedestal. The structure formed by an upper arch and two lower bases, being the upper arch, comprised at the same time by a central, elongated and horizontal profile, which presents two lateral profiles on its ends, from which vertical plates start at the bottom, provided with a hole in the proximity of its lower ends, through which the upper arch () is linked to the lower bases through some fixing mechanism, having the lower bases a semicircular support adapted to receive one of the support arms of the heliostat.
