Multi-user telecoms mast

10 August 2016 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Webb Industries’ latest Rapid Deployment Solution (RDS) is a progression on its predecessors in that it is a multi-user, as opposed to single-user, mast. “Our new mast has an increased load capacity of 8 m² over the top 10 m, making it possible for multi-customer use,” says Webb engineer Mike Kruger. “Also, while the standard greenfields site takes 21 days or more to complete, this 36 m mast can be fully deployed in three days, resulting in a significant price and ‘time to market’ advantage.”

He adds that the new solution is a full-site arrangement including the 7,2 x 7,2 m base substructure, tower, fencing, universal equipment cabinet, all underground ducting, full-site earthing and an aircraft warning light system. “In essence, all that has to be done is to bring power to the site, draw the cable through the ducting sleeve and the system is ready to go,” Kruger says.

“Another cost advantage is that there is no concrete used in the foundation of the structure. The foundation consists of a steel platform base that is filled with suitable compactable material,” says Kruger. “This material sub-base is 400 mm deep, leaving 50 mm for clients to have a site finish of their choice in various materials like stone chip, paving, etc.”

With respect to the fencing, both Clearvue and palisade fencing are available, and either can be painted to any colour although the standard is hot-dip galvanised.
