SurveySurvey, inside Field services: desktop study and siting screen, RF survey and spectrum scan, site walk and engineering survey, instrument exposure survey and more. Every item is traced to its specification, from OGC API – Processes (siting runs) to Analytic Hierarchy Process (Saaty), and runs on the open Observatory Protocol.

01What it is
Everything that happens on the ground across a site’s life: survey, permits, design packs, logistics, installation, acceptance, training, operations, maintenance, upgrades, decommission and recycling, done safely and recorded as evidence. Each technology below carries what it is, what we do with it, and the standard it is drawn against.
Field operations and lifecycle
Ranking candidate sites from terrain, hazards, access, power, land use and coverage before anyone travels.
We design and operate.
OGC API – Processes (siting runs) · Analytic Hierarchy Process (Saaty)
Field operations and lifecycle
Measuring existing signals, interference and link paths at the candidate site.
We design, deploy and operate.
ITU-R SM.1880 (spectrum occupancy measurement) · ITU-R P.530 (line-of-sight links)
Field operations and lifecycle
Structure, power, access, security, grounding and photographs recorded against a checklist.
We design, deploy and operate.
ANSI/TIA-222-I (existing structure assessment) · CSA S37:24
Field operations and lifecycle
Checking obstacles, heat sources and fetch so sensors meet the intended siting class.
We design, deploy and operate.

Field operations and lifecycle
Control points, orthophotos and elevation models of the site and access route.
We design, deploy and operate.
ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (Edition 2) · Canadian Aviation Regulations Part IX
Field operations and lifecycle
Soil, rock, frost and permafrost data for foundations and anchors.
We design and deploy.
ISO 22475-1 (geotechnical sampling) · ASTM D1586 (standard penetration test)
Field operations and lifecycle
Checking protected species, wetlands, heritage and land-use constraints early.
We design and support.
Impact Assessment Act (Canada) · Species at Risk Act (Canada)
Field operations and lifecycle
Early, respectful engagement and agreements with Indigenous rights holders on their lands.
We design and support.
United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (Canada)
Field operations and lifecycle
Footings, anchors, cable routes and enclosures built to the design pack.
We deploy.
