Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for supporting an upstanding mast and particularly a davit with a jib where the jib includes a load connecting point arranged such that on application of a load beyond a predetermined limit the spacing of the load connecting point from the mast is reduced to reduce a side load on the base. The method comprises providing a base which includes bottom and side panels connected edge to edge to form a container. The hollow interior is filled by concrete through an opening in one of side panels so that the set solid material substantially fills the hollow interior up to the top and bottom panels and surrounds the sleeve so that the set concrete is in intimate contact with an outer surface of the sleeve and at least part of the inside surfaces of the top and bottom panels. The sleeve which is welded to reinforcing bars passing through the material receives and supports the mast and is held in place by forces contributed both by the set filling material and the panels.
