A clamper plate for securing a tower having a flange to a pedestal having an embedded first bolt, the clamper plate comprising:
- a first surface coming into contact with the flange;
- a second surface coming into contact with the pedestal;
- and
- a first through-hole aligning with a through-hole of the flange for receiving the first bolt therethrough;
- wherein during installation the clamper plate is placed over the flange such that the first through-hole aligns with the through-hole of the flange and is secured to the pedestal by the the first bolt passing through the through-hole of the flange and the first through-hole and a nut attached to the first bolt.
A method of securing a tower having a flange to a pedestal having an embedded first bolt and second bolt, the method comprising:
- placing the flange on the pedestal and aligning the first bolt with a first through hole in the flange such that the first bolt goes through the first through hole in the flange and extends beyond the flange;
- placing a clamper plate over the flange and aligning the first bolt with a first through hole in the clamper plate such that the first bolt goes through the first through hole in the clamper plate and extends beyond the clamper plate and aligning the second bolt with a second through hole in the clamper plate such that the second bolt goes through the second through hole in the clamper plate and extends beyond the clamper plate;
- and
- securing the flange to the pedestal by tightening nuts to the first bolt and the second bolt such that the clamper plate clamps around the flange of the tower.
