Survey and site acquisition.

Technologies

• Desktop study and siting screen Ranking candidate sites from terrain, hazards, access, power, land use and coverage before anyone travels.
• RF survey and spectrum scan Measuring existing signals, interference and link paths at the candidate site.
• Site walk and engineering survey Structure, power, access, security, grounding and photographs recorded against a checklist.
• Instrument exposure survey Checking obstacles, heat sources and fetch so sensors meet the intended siting class.
• Topographic and drone survey Control points, orthophotos and elevation models of the site and access route.
• Geotechnical investigation Soil, rock, frost and permafrost data for foundations and anchors.
• Environmental and heritage screening Checking protected species, wetlands, heritage and land-use constraints early.
• Indigenous engagement Early, respectful engagement and agreements with Indigenous rights holders on their lands.
