Welcome to the Royal Haskoning Masts and Towers Site

Royal Haskoning have considerable experience in the inspection, assessment and construction of concrete, steel, timber and masonry structures associated with the cellular, communications and defence industries. Mast, tower and flagpole inspection, assessment, design and construction has been undertaken for a number of clients throughout the United Kingdom and Overseas. This experience includes maintenance and health and safety inspections, including the preparation of forward maintenance plans, the management of maintenance contracts, the assessment of an individual structure’s load capacity & the design of strengthening solutions, design of new structures and the completion of new radio sites - Read more

Maintenance Inspections

Within Royal Haskoning, we have a wealth of experience in the visual inspection of extremely remote sites (e.g. St Kilda, Kosovo, the Caribbean Islands, Scillies, the Channel Islands, the Shetland and Orkney Isles and the Western Isles) using a core team of highly trained and motivated Engineers. We have considerable experience in the use of roped access techniques where inspections are complicated by difficult access and all our staff have attended training courses to enable them to work safely at heights. They are re-trained every two years. A large number of our staff hold IRATA qualifications for roped access. Most of our mast and tower work is managed and carried out by our experienced Edinburgh Office team. - Read more

Assessment of High Structures

With the present high capital expenditure required to provide new radio sites it has become expedient to place new antennae on old structures. These towers generally lack drawings or design calculations or the calculations refer to outdated codes of practice. The client is therefore unable to progress his scheme without a re-appraisal of the towers capabilities. As part of this process we have also been asked by a number of our clients to assess the effect of placing antenna on existing structures such as water towers, chimneys, churches and high rise buildings. Again the measurement and structural appraisal of this type of structure is a normal activity carried out by our organisation. We are able to assess individual structures to current codes of practice - Read more

New Sites

Within Royal Haskoning, we have experience in the development of new sites. The work includes estate issues e.g. land acquisition and obtaining statutory approvals, and construction issues such as the design of new towers and buildings, construction of access routes, cabins, towers and their associated lightning protection systems, equipment installation into the cabins and commissioning of the sites. As a company, we act as Project Managers for a number of clients, most notably for National Air Traffic Services for the installation of new radio stations on the Isle of Lewis, Ayr, Shetland, Rugby and Kent and for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency for the replacement, refurbishment and installation of a large number of towers and cabins throughout the UK - Read more

Ministry of Defence Mast and Tower Structures

Through our long experience of working with the Establishment Works Consultants, Royal Haskoning have extensive experience of the support structures for fixed and rotating military antenna systems. Royal Haskoning have been undertaking Technical Inspections (Technical Bulletin 00/08) and Professional Appraisals (Technical Bulletin 00/07) for 13 years for originally the DE appointed Establishment Works Consultants such as Serco, Sovereign, Unicorn, Scott Wilson, Atkins, Carillion, Symonds and Gibbs and now the Regional Prime Contractors, Amec Turner, Debut, Interserve and Carillion Enterprise. This type of inspection is well known to us, as are the reporting formats and procedures to be used. - Read more
