Installation of foundation and radio mast

The extensive work for the preparation of the construction site began at the beginning of October. Within a week, a sheet piling of the approx. 8.5 x 8.5 meter excavation pit was built. The particular challenge was to compact the ground and produce a fine grade of grit without any slope so that the "FUCHS Pfote" could be placed exactly vertically. At the end of October, the 130-tonne mobile crane lifted the two halves of the foundation, our fitters tightened the tendons and attached the bracing to the quiver head area. Subsequently, we filled the potting joint with fast-tightening grout, which was supplied by our FUCHS precast plant. Now the mast parts came into position. A concrete pump with ready-mixed concrete filled the horizontal potting joint of the precast elements, the annular gap of the foundation quiver and the mast base. A little later, we were able to loosen the tension in the head area, fill the excavation pit and set the precast foundations.
