BOM Radar Tower - Terrey Hills

Overview

Near the end of 2008, CC Pines was engaged to erect a 30m high radar tower for the Bureau of Meteorology. The tower was made up of five separate sections all requiring carefully coordinated crane lifts and specialist equipment to complete the connections.

The project also involved civil works to prepare the site, a large concrete pour (140m³) for the tower footing, drainage works and construction of an equipment building to support the tower, installation of an air-conditioning system and the installation of an extensive UPS with generator backup power supply.

All the works were coordinated and completed without interruption to the golf course which was adjacent to the site.
