A circular concrete cap foundation poured in-situ within a perimeter
forming corrugated metal pipe set atop or within an excavated pit and
enclosing a series of circumferentially spaced pile anchors. The circular
concrete cap foundation supports sets of inner and outer
circumferentially spaced tower anchor bolts having their lower ends
anchored to an embedded anchor ring and their upper ends projecting
vertically and upwardly out the top of the circular foundation to engage
the base flange of a supported tower. The pile anchors are formed with
perimeter corrugated metal pipes set deep in subsurface soils with
cementitious material surrounding and partially bonding to a centralized
steel bolt or tendon which extends through the cap foundation. The tower
anchor bolts and the pile anchor bolts are both partially encased in a
PVC sleeve so that the bolts can be post-tensioned. The pile anchors are
in tension only and serve to pull the cap foundation down to compress the
underlying ground soils.
