Placing the Container on the Foundation

On Monday, the RF container was moved from its location in the main compound of the Chilbolton site over to the LOFAR field. There, it was placed on the recently cured concrete pad. This container is now ready to accept the cables that will connect the antennas to the main distribution panel that is contained within the container. In the photograph, the container is being lowered down onto its final resting place. The cable is the main power cable that will supply electricity to the equipment.
