Radome Pad Extension & Installation Project

The National Reconnaissance Office has a requirement to install an existing Government Furnished Contractor Installed (GFCI) Radome which is being relocated to the Schriever Space Force Station located in Colorado Springs, CO. This entails extending an existing octagonal shaped concrete pad and attaching a new circular concrete pad with a circular strip wall footing via steel dowels. The new pad and wall strip foundation have been designed to resist structural load values provided by the Radome supplier. The work also includes installation of necessary ground insulation and engineered fill beneath the pad to allow for shallow footings in areas with frost depth greater than 24 inches. The ground around the pad shall be graded and soil erosion protection measures installed for storm water drainage that supports historical drainage patterns for the area.
