RAFT Systems has successfully completed a specialist antenna alignment project, delivered across two planned site visits in August and October.
The project involved the precise setting out and positioning of antennas, followed by mechanical boresight alignment, requiring specialist surveying equipment and a high level of engineering accuracy throughout.
The initial visit focused on establishing the correct positioning and alignment of the antennas.
Working as a two-person engineering team, RAFT's engineers used specialist surveying equipment, including a Leica TS16 imaging total station, to accurately set out and position the antennas.
Particular attention was given to achieving positioning accuracy within one degree, ensuring the antennas were correctly located and aligned in accordance with the project requirements.
Following the initial positioning works, RAFT returned in October to undertake the mechanical boresight alignment of the antenna.
This stage involved further specialist engineering work to refine the antenna's mechanical alignment, building on the positioning established during the first visit.
The use of specialist equipment and experienced engineers enabled the alignment works to be completed to the required standard.
Both phases were delivered by a dedicated two-person RAFT engineering team, with project-specific Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) prepared ahead of the works.
RAFT also provided supporting project reporting, ensuring the activities undertaken were appropriately documented.
Successfully delivering both stages required careful coordination, specialist equipment and close attention to technical detail.
This project demonstrates RAFT Systems' ability to deliver specialist antenna installation, positioning and alignment works, combining experienced engineering personnel with the equipment and technical expertise required for precision-led projects.
From initial setting out through to final mechanical alignment, we provide practical, end-to-end engineering support tailored to individual project requirements.
RAFT Systems – designed. delivered. Dependable.
