As it is quite normal for systems to have a life cycle we also consider the 'end of life' situation. We can offer decommissioning and disposal of ‘end of life’ systems and antennae etc. Wherever possible, Lucas Projects will seek to re-use and recycle. This can be from a single piece to a whole antenna. In today's world, responsible disposal is very important. We can decommission and dispose of equipment to official registered centres. This sometimes involves toxic products for which we seek advice and use correct procedures.

Transport of components and equipment shelters etc is a necessary consideration. Escorted wide loads, as seen in the picture below are sometimes unavoidable.

Once a site or equipment area has been cleared we can re-instate to an original condition. This can involve redecoration, flooring, lighting etc.When all of the structure is cleared from a site it is often necessary to perform repairs and re-instatement. As shown below, this can include new curb stones, new tarmac and drain covers. What we always ensure is that the final site is left clean and safe to a standard acceptable to our customers.

Due to the nature of some installations, it is sometimes necessary to prepare a site with earthworks, foundations etc. We can prepare sites as necessary to offer a turnkey solution to a project. In some instances a project may only involve this type of work.

Where necessary, projects are controlled by CDM regulations. We are qualified in CDM practises and prepare all necessary paperwork including method statements and risk assessments etc.
Satellite antennae work has been a significant element of Lucas Projects work. However, experience also includes broadcast and communications antennae used at LF, MF, HF and L-band. As a company we pride ourselves in considering all aspects of antenna work and types of antenna.
Typical rack installation
System installations, typically using 19" racking, and cable management systems to complement the installation ensuring signal/power cable separation. Custom racking systems can be procured or manufactured to the customers needs as required including built in cooling, UPS backup and security as necessary. Connectors and cables are specified to suit the application with consideration to strain relief, interference etc. Systems range from networked computer systems to RF broadcast.
RF installations can be provided to suit requirements for transmission. We cover the full baseband to transmission frequency installations along with the frequency conversion, high power amplification necessary for transmission and cross-site feeder cables (typically coaxial) and fibre optic up to L-Band.

{gallery}vaninstall:200:160:1:2{/gallery} | Apart from 19” rack installations, Lucas Projects has extensive experience in the design, specification and installation of vehicular mobile units requiring electrical power within the unit. Vehicles fitted with electrical systems include Land Rovers, medium and large vans and 4x4’s. System designs encompass large battery storage, inverters, switchable charging from engine to shoreline plus interior wiring for power and lighting etc. To the left are images of a large van installation used for aerial photography’. |
