Antenna mast for the Police and Justice Centre (PJZ)

25.02.2022Kummler+Matter EVT

Kummler+Matter EVT was commissioned to install a multifunctional antenna mast for the new PJZ (Police and Justice Centre) in Zurich. We were also able to determine the design as well as the optimal location for the antenna from the planning activities and static calculations. Structural attachments, such as ladders, cable support systems and mast brackets for mounting the antennas, were planned and supplied by us. The mast has a height of 12 metres and weighs 2.2 tons. It was manufactured in 3 stepped stages with a diameter of 350 to 250mm and bolted to the counter flange that was previously inserted into the foundation with 28 M24 threaded rods.

 

As well as having an obstacle warning light and being equipped with lightning protection, the mast is also equipped on site with various communication devices such as Polycom radio antennas, satellite reception antennas, directional radio antennas, GPS antennas, and is also ready for the installation of a telecoms antenna. This in-house antenna mast will ensure that communication is guaranteed at all times.

 

The "Special Electrical Systems" department of Kummler+Matter EVT supports you in the planning, installation and maintenance of such systems.
