An axial reset target structure is disclosed for supporting targets during target practice. An example axial reset target structure includes a base member with a base ramp. The example axial reset target structure also includes a target mounting member for mounting a target thereto. The example axial reset target structure also includes a mounting ramp in the target mounting member. The example axial reset target structure has at least one firing position for firing at the target mounted to the target mounting member. The example axial reset target structure also has a hit position when the target is struck. The mounting ramp rotates in a first direction relative to the base ramp to move the target mounting member away from the base member in the hit position. The target automatically resets to the at least one firing position.

An example mobile kiln system includes a mobile platform. A frame is mounted to the mobile platform. At least one kiln is rotatably mounted to the frame. The kiln is movable between a first operational position for loading a feed material into the at least one kiln, and a second operational position for unloading a biochar product from the at least one kiln following processing of the feed material. In an example, the mobile kiln system includes at least one stack assembly for the kiln. The stack assembly has a lid to cover the kiln to retain heat and a chimney to release emissions from the kiln during processing of the feed material.

A modular target structure is disclosed for supporting targets during target practice. An example modular target structure includes a first leg structure, a second leg structure, and an interconnecting member. The interconnecting member connects between the first leg structure and the second leg structure to form a substantially triangular shaped support structure which can be utilized in a horizontal or vertical configuration. At least one target mount may be provided for attaching targets. The support structure is readily assembled and unassembled and can be configured between an operating position for target practice, and a collapsed position for transport and storage.

An equipment tower includes a foundation, a cast-in-place concrete plinth extending vertically from the foundation, and a tower portion extending vertically from the plinth. The equipment tower is constructed at a site having a set of tower specific parameters, and at least one dimension of the plinth is selected based on a tower specific parameter. For example, a height of the plinth may be selected to achieve a desired elevation of the topmost surface of the plinth, so that two towers having identical tower segments will have a common equipment height in spite of variations in their respective foundation elevations due to variations in local ground level. Moreover, the cast-in-place plinth may be designed to include a door opening large enough to accommodate equipment to be installed within the tower.

A system and method for installing a post-tensioning tendon () in an equipment tower (). A sheave frame () attaches to anchor rods (), and a pulley () is mounted to the sheave frame through which a hoisting cable () is passed for connection to an end () of the tendon to lift the tendon to the anchor rods. A carriage assembly () having a shank () and a bearing plate platform () extending transversely from the shank for receiving a bearing plate () is attached to the tendon. The carriage assembly includes a deflecting surface () to deflect the carriage assembly away from the installed bearing plate upon lowering after tendon attachment. A pair of hydraulic jacks () tension the tendon to a desired load.

The present disclosure is directed to small cell poles that are configured for use in urban environments. In various implementations, the small cell poles have a configuration similar to existing utility poles, which minimizes their aesthetic obtrusiveness. In order to reduce the size of an antenna structure of such a small cell pole, implementations utilizes antennas that are vertically stacked, which permits an antenna structure of a small cell pole to have a reduced width. In various implementations, one or more antennas are vertically stacked within a spatial envelope of a pole. For instance, one or more antennas may be disposed within the interior of a pole such that a resulting cell ole is similar in appearance to a utility pole.

A concrete wind turbine tower segment is provided with a bearing plate formed by a plurality of individual smaller plates secured within the concrete body of the tower segment. The tower segment may include an anchor bar cage assembly made of an embedded plate with a plurality of anchor bars extending there through and through the plates. A protective sleeve may be positioned over the anchor bars. A method of forming the tower segment includes attaching the plate segments to a precision formed template ring as part of the cage assembly, pouring concrete/grout around the cage assembly against the plates, and removing the template ring to reveal a precision mate face of the bearing plate. The single large, expensive ring may be reused to form multiple tower segments.

An equipment tower having a ladder formed of a plurality of ladder segments each joined to a respective tower segment by a pivotal connection prior to the tower segments being stacked during erection of the tower. The pivotal connection provides a degree of freedom of movement which facilitates the interconnection of adjoining ends of the ladder segments after stacking of the tower segments. Additional accommodation of as-built spacing of the adjacent ends of the ladder segments may be provided by a connecting segment. The pivotal connection may be a rod inserted through a rung of the ladder and supported by a support assembly attached to the tower segment.
