Non-disruptive reinforcement of telecommunications towers

A method of non-disruptively reinforcing a telecommunications tower while it continues to operate, the method comprising:

• A) attaching a temporary structure to a first portion of the telecommunications tower, the first portion of the telecommunications tower having a set of antenna equipment attached thereto, the temporary structure including a set of corner clamp assemblies (CCAs), each CCA including (i) an upper corner clamp configured to removably attach to a vertical member of the telecommunications tower at a first height of the telecommunications tower, (ii) a lower corner clamp configured to removably attach to the vertical member of the telecommunications tower at a second height of the telecommunications tower, and (iii) a vertical stringer coupled between the upper corner clamp and the lower corner clamp, the vertical stringer constructed and arranged to temporarily hold antenna equipment from the tower;
• B) transferring the set of antenna equipment, without interrupting its operation, from the first portion of the telecommunications tower to the temporary structure;
• C) while the set of antenna equipment continues to operate, reinforcing the first portion of the telecommunications tower;
• D) transferring the set of antenna equipment, without interrupting its operation, from the temporary structure back to the first portion of the telecommunications tower;
• and
• E) repeating steps A-D for reinforcing at least a second portion the telecommunications tower having a second set of antenna equipment attached thereto, the second portion of the telecommunications tower being vertically offset from the first portion of the telecommunications tower.
