    THE CHALLENGE:

    The scope of the work is to install instrument landing systems and distance measurement equipment on two runways.  This installation will follow a previous installation technique where the  shelters to be used will be shipped with most of the electronics and internal environmental control systems already installed to decrease the amount of time required for installation.  Each shelter will have an associated antenna array (two 14-element localizer arrays and two three-element glideslope arrays to be mounted on 60-foot towers).  Each shelter will have a primary and backup Cummins generator.  

    1)    Install the generators on the pad and running to provide power for the shelters & our tools and to the ECUs.  Next would be to position and bolt down the shelters.  Site personnel will provide the forklifts, cranes, and operators.
    2)    Install the four sets of antenna arrays and glideslope towers.
    3)    Finally there is equipment (PC, laptop and RF Link comms gear) to install within the Tower that allow status & control of the ILS systems.
    4)    Most of the work will be terminating the connections of the comms gear, installing the generators, and installing the antenna arrays.
