What the foundation needs to do
An automatic weather station may combine a mast, rain gauge, cabinet, solar panel and fenced instrument area. Each component has different stability and exposure requirements.
We install the manufacturer or project designer's concrete and ground-support details after the monitoring location and sensor clearances have been approved.
Options, assessed properly
Suitable foundation methods
The methods below are possibilities to assess—not interchangeable specifications. We match the foundation to the product, loads, support points, ground and access.
Ground screws
Ground screws and support frame
Engineered screws can be considered for a compatible mast or platform where the instrumentation designer accepts the foundation response.
Often worth considering for: Temporary or relocatable monitoring systems on suitable ground
A written price for the approved detail
Specialist foundations are quoted from the actual product, support plan and site information. No VAT is added to the guide prices shown.
Before installation
Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities
The scientific or equipment supplier should confirm instrument heights, separation and the foundation drawing. A convenient position is not necessarily a representative measurement site.
Lightning protection, earthing and aviation or planning considerations for taller masts remain with the appropriate project specialists.
JustBases quotes the agreed foundation and groundwork. Product installation, specialist connections, commissioning and third-party design remain outside our scope unless the written quotation expressly includes them.

"Craig and his team were very professional throughout the job. They worked tirelessly and extremely hard. The job involved digging up a thick reinforced concrete base. Then creating a whole new base with precision engineering in preparation to accept a new building on top. The result was an excellent job all round."
