Pedestal Construction
Installation of forms and rebar for the pedestal footing began following the placement of the second concrete coating. The footing will be 1 meter thick, and extends past the walls of the pedestal by 1 meter all the way around. The footing will support all of the weight of the concrete pedestal, as well as the steel antenna structure.
