    22 m Satellite Antenna - Germany

    Project Overview

    Arcus Engineering prepared detailed workshop documentation for a 22 m steel satellite antenna structure in Germany. The structure included complex three-dimensional geometry, numerous angled components and critical interfaces between the structural steelwork and the antenna's mechanical systems.


    Project Challenge

    The antenna structure required a high level of dimensional and geometric precision.

    Steel components needed to align accurately with mechanical parts, while varying member orientations and non-standard angles increased the complexity of the detailing process.

    Because the documentation was intended for repeated fabrication, consistency and clarity across the complete drawing package were particularly important.


    Coordination of Steel and Mechanical Components

    Arcus Engineering developed workshop documentation that coordinated the steel support system with the defined mechanical interfaces.

    The detailing process included careful control of:

    • member geometry
    • connection locations
    • non-orthogonal angles
    • mechanical interface points
    • fabrication tolerances
    • assembly sequence and component identification

    Documentation for Repeated Fabrication

    The completed documentation was used for the fabrication and installation of ten antenna structures.

    This required a repeatable and well-coordinated drawing system that could be interpreted consistently across multiple fabrication and installation cycles.
