Structures and antenna infrastructure
Erect specialised communications hardware on restricted sites. We coordinate heavy lifting and structural fabrication safely around your live monitoring activities.
Build your communications infrastructure
Overview
Heavy construction in sensitive locations
Jaws safely manages the complex logistical and structural challenges of erecting large-scale antennas and radar facilities. We coordinate cranes, heavy transport and specialised fabrication within the tight confines of live defence bases. Our strict safety governance ensures these high-risk activities occur predictably and without incident.
Complex lift coordination: We manage intricate heavy lifting operations near your most sensitive operational assets.
Structural precision: We deliver the exact tolerances required for specialised defence communications hardware.
Strict site discipline: We control our work zones tightly to prevent disruption to your adjacent activities.
Scope includes
- Antenna and radome foundations
- Structural steel fabrication and erection
- Heavy lift planning and crane coordination
- Radar and monitoring platform builds
- Grounding, lightning and earthing systems
- Access platforms, walkways and fall protection
How we deliver
Delivery approach
As the prime contractor for multiple secure radome builds, Jaws Contracting delivers complex, high-spec civil and structural infrastructure from the ground up, with a proven track record across end-to-end design and construct projects for both RF and optical radome facilities.
Precision foundation and civil engineering
We construct heavy-duty concrete foundations, deep footings and civil infrastructure built to withstand severe wind loads and meet the structural tolerances of sensitive radome installations, including underground conduit networks, earthing grids and secure utility trenches.
Structural formwork and reinforced concrete
We form up and pour specialised radome base walls and support pedestals with absolute plumb, level and structural integrity, with comprehensive steel fixing to handle extreme load-bearing and seismic criteria.
Heavy structural steel and engineering control
Structural steel framing, mounting rings and support structures are fabricated to strict defence tolerances with full material traceability, then precision-installed under engineering oversight for seamless alignment with the radome shell.
Secure area execution and compliance
All works in sensitive zones are executed by cleared personnel under facility access protocols, with structural surveys, torque verifications, concrete testing and weld logs compiled into a transparent handover package.
Common questions
What clients ask
How do you protect sensitive equipment nearby?
We control vibration, dust and crane swing paths, and coordinate exclusion zones with your site managers.
Do you handle transport of oversized components?
Yes. We manage heavy transport, permits and on-site logistics as part of the scope.
