ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for reinforcing at least one load-bearing section of a tower assembly which apparatus includes two leg members, at least one brace member for connection to both of the leg members, and at least one connecting plate for attachment to a respective flange plate of the section of the tower assembly and for attachment to an end of one of the leg members, which flange plate is attached to or integral with the section of the tower assembly. The apparatus components form a reinforcing panel which is attachable to the load-bearing section of the tower assembly, so that the two leg members bear at least a portion of the section load when the panel is attached. The apparatus may include adjustable length leg members which enable the length of the panel to be adjusted and at least a portion of the section load to be transferred to the legs.
