A partially prefabricated column. The column has vented support pans and vertical ribs internally. Skin attaches to the vertical ribs. Rods secure to the bottom of the column and a concrete form is removably secured to the rods. Air gaps at the top and bottom of the column allow for air circulation through the column. A top attaches over the upper end of the column. A central tube is secured to the column via the support pans and is telescopically received within a receiver tube concreted into the ground. The column gently descends to the ground as the central tube inserts into the receiver tube. Concrete is then poured into the concrete form and the concrete troweled between a notched plastic angle member on the bottom of the column and the concrete form. The concrete cures, the form is removed and the ends of the rods are plugged.

A stabilization and support for a catheter provides stress distribution for the loads otherwise imposed by the catheter interface hardware such as the base and hub components that may otherwise cause stresses in the skin and associated damage and sores.

The invention discloses a damp-proof sound-absorbing building envelope with an air layer. The damp-proof sound-absorbing building envelope is characterized by comprising an exterior trimming panel, a heat-insulating waterproof layer, an outer layer flame-retardant sound-absorbing heat-insulating material layer, a vapor blocking layer, an inner layer flame-retardant sound-absorbing heat-insulating material layer and an interior trimming panel which are all arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside of a room. The air layer which is sealed relatively is formed between the exterior trimming panel and the heat-insulating waterproof layer. By the arrangement of the air layer and the matched design of the heat-insulating waterproof layer, the inner layer flame-retardant sound-absorbing heat-insulating material layer, the outer layer flame-retardant sound-absorbing heat-insulating material layer and the vapor blocking layer, humidity accumulation in a heat-insulating material can be effectively avoided, and the problem that the durability, structural strength and heat insulation of a heat insulation system are affected due to poor moisture penetrability in the heat insulation system is solved. The damp-proof sound-absorbing building envelope is clear in hierarchical structure and is good in heat insulation, energy saving performance, moisture penetrability, damp prevention and sound absorption, and the shortcoming that the building porous material external building envelope is internally easily affected with damp, condensation and mold and is non-breathable and poor in sound absorption can be fundamentally overcome.
