Tower
Upgrade and Radome Supply
AlanDick was commissioned by a Major Global OEM to review the existing 17ft tall tower at a North African Military Site, and make recommendations with a view to adding a 32ft diameter AlanDick radome to the structure.The radome was required to shield the radar from the extreme local conditions.
Following the survey, and using customer supplied outline drawings, AlanDick carried out a design review. From this we were able to perform a structural analysis to assess whether or not the existing tower would be capable of supporting the radome.
Having established that the tower itself was structurally suitable, the radome support steelwork was then modelled on the tower.

AlanDick manufactured the additional steelwork and the radome, then continued on to site to perform the installation works.
AlanDick's solution enabled the existing tower and associated infrastructure to be utilised - therefore saving the client significant costs and time. We were able to provide a full turnkey service - adapting the existing tower, by using specialist surveying and adaptive design - as well as providing the interface to a new radome and carrying out all of the work on site in a hostile climate. |
