Site Expansion
Overview
As our business continues to grow so too does the need to expand site infrastructure. Under the Site Development Plan established by Capricorn Space in 2018, our strategy has been to build out our first Lot (approx. 6 Hectares) and then commence development of a second Lot. This Lot 1 work commenced in December 2018 with two Capricorn Space antennas becoming operational in October 2019.
Given that the first half of Lot 1 is now fully populated, we are expanding southwards allowing a further 12 – 15 antennas to be installed.
To support all this additional work a dedicated workshop has been constructed together with a large storage shed that allows Capricorn Space and its Clients to assembly antenna reflectors in the shade and without disturbances from wind and other weather effects.
Features
- Workshop for supporting on-site maintenance and development activities
- Storage Shed where client equipment can be safely stored ahead of the client’s arrival plus an area for assembling vital equipment
