Stadium 5G Antenna Installation

Access Method

Rope Access

The Scope

Vertical Access has been instrumental in the historical development of Wi-Fi and mobile phone transmitters for many of the leading premier league football clubs throughout the country. Our latest project was being tasked with the installation of new 5G Transmitters across several Premier League Football Stadiums. The previous 3G & 4G Transmitters were to be removed and replaced by the newer 5G units.

The Challenge

The previous Transmitter units were placed across the stadia roof in difficult access locations, this meant the removal and installation of the units was going to be challenging. Additionally, over 2000m of cable was to be fixed. Wi-Fi and mobile phone transmitters need regularly updating to keep up with the ever-changing technology and increased levels of use, this meant we had to act fast and accurately to ensure the smooth-operation of the stadium's communication systems.

The Vertical Approach: Safety, Quality, Innovation & Agility

SAFETY

Vertical Access always work to the highest levels of safety. On these Stadium projects we work with the clients to help develop roof rescue plans and safe systems of working at height. This is our passion.

QUALITY

We use our existing experience and knowledge to iron out problems of installation before they occur and offer waterproofing solutions for roof cable penetrations which we know from many previous installations, work problem free.

INNOVATION

Our site teams often work closely with the other contractors on stadium projects to come up with innovative solutions to practical problems.

AGILITY

When the client approaches us with technical problems, we work with them to find good quality solutions and ensure a great outcome. We have often been able to work around other contractors, work sites and stadium operations by changing shift patterns and flexible working.
