Site Build Projects undertaken

2006 - 2010   LARS is currently working with two contractors installing 29M structures for Network Rail.  The work is performed both during daylight hours and under night time possessions. The structures range from hinged monopoles erected with hydraulics, traditional monopoles and towers erected with cranes under possession. Lattice towers are utilised for the remote sites with difficult access. These are hand built with both fixed and floating dereks.

2007  LARS engaged as principle contactor to build complete replacement radio site at Hertforshire Police New Headquarters. The contract  included 50M tower supply, erection and rigging. The old site was decommissioned on completion.

2007  LARS supply and install 30M heavy duty RADAR tower at Kincardine Bridge. The works were undertaken for Easat Antennas and were successfully handed over to the Civil Aviation Authority.

2004 - 2006   Appointed by Bechtel to perform rollout project for Vodafone. The works involved the installation of greenfield sites in difficult access locations, to provide GSM network coverage along the West Coast Mainline Railway. LARS management team learnt a great deal from this project which assisted the company to implement major improvements to internal management processes & project reporting. A number of on-line systems were used for downloading tender documents and uploading site completion and compliance documentation. LARS participated in their first e Auctions on this project which caused great excitement for the spectators in the office!
