SCADA Radio Tower – Shawatlan (British Columbia)

Client: City of Prince Rupert with IDL Projects | Region: BC | Status: Completed | Type: Design and Build

In one of the most logistically challenging environments on the BC coast, ANET successfully delivered a fully off-grid SCADA radio tower installation in Shawatlan, a remote and rugged area with no direct road access. Due to the site's isolation and complex terrain, all materials—including structural steel, tower components, and electrical equipment—were transported via helicopter. Our team developed and executed a detailed aerial logistics plan, ensuring timely delivery while minimizing environmental impact and adhering to stringent aviation regulations due to the site's proximity to controlled airspace.

Scope of work included the supply and installation of tower foundations, anchoring systems, the full vertical tower structure, and SCADA-compatible antenna systems. Electrical infrastructure was also installed to support reliable remote communications, with grounding and lightning protection systems built to withstand harsh weather and geological conditions. ANET's comprehensive coordination with the City of Prince Rupert and IDL Projects ensured seamless integration with broader infrastructure upgrades in the region.

This project exemplifies ANET's ability to execute precision-engineered, remote builds in compliance with strict regulatory frameworks—all while maintaining safety, timeline, and quality objectives.
