Document Description
The project includes a radio communications system with the required infrastructure to support a new radio tower, associated radio equipment, a new radio communications vault and security fencing to surround both the tower and vault. The vault will include electrical, network and climate control capabilities, connection to emergency backup power, and an interruptible power supply. The vault will also be equipped with wireless monitoring with smoke and intrusion detection systems. The project will include a lightning dissipation system for the tower structure as well as radial grounding conductor system for inside the vault structure. The system will also require an emergency diesel back-up generator with self-contained fuel tank with a continuous leak detection system. The radio tower and vault are considered essential services. The structures will be designed to support emergency communication networks, should the need arise in the future. Work will occur within previously disturbed areas that are not considered environmentally and/or historically significant.
