Mast Stabilisation 2024 season
The 2024 season has presented numerous mast stabilization projects across the challenging terrains of the North Scottish Highlands. These remote and hard-to-reach locations demand advanced anchoring techniques and specialized equipment to provide reliable service and precision required by our clients.
Condor Engineering over the previous months have been engaged in a series of challenging projects involving the stabilisation of telecommunication masts located all over Scotland. Ranging from the lowlands of Glasgow up to the peaks of the Cairngorms and beyond to the Highlands.
Using our combined knowledge of engineering and site experience, we have developed a methodology to reinforce and strengthen the masts. Our in-house fabrication team have created specialised drilling equipment capable of drilling down to the required depths while being remotely controlled. Taking away the danger and possible harm toward our valued operatives. These drills are robust and powerful which is necessary as the rock in the Scottish Highlands is some of the hardest in the world.
These projects are demanding, firstly in terms of logistics due to the remoteness of the location and the arduous task of reaching the masts. The masts are situated at an extremely elevated altitude and are only accessible via tracks littered with boulders and adverse cambers. Therefore a specialist vehicle is needed to ascend to the masts.
We have a variety of vehicles capable of traversing up to the masts including; 4x4 trucks, Argocats equipped with either tracks or wheels to suit the environment, a bespoke modified 8-wheel ATV for the most punishing of tracks.
The projects completed over this summer season include; Sloy Valvehouse, Biden Clann Raonaild, Morrone and Meall Mhor. Find more details regarding these projects on our website.
