pipe and base for slew drives

Hello,
I've been studying the technology associated with solar power and the hardware on which to mount them.
I ran across the idea of using a slew drive on YouTube and have since found many sources for the drives, both local, and abroad.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate a source of the special bases on which the drives are mounted or the pipe on which both are mounted and which is attached to a concrete base.
Currently, I'm including a linear actuator (10,000N, push/pull) as my primary drive for azimuth tracking. For me, this seems the only alternative.
Any ideas?
Thank you,

Learn to weld or take welder out to dinner.
24 vdc motors are the standard in the linear actuators and tracker motors I use from Array Technology."we go where power lines don't" Sierra Nevada mountain area
