Government Radio System Improvement Project
Seattle Area
PTS is providing architectural, engineering, land use permitting, construction and program management services for a local jurisdiction in the Seattle area. The jurisdiction is one of the first in the nation to migrate to the 700MHz band to operate their trunked radio system. This radio system provides voice and data communication in support of transit operations and back up emergency communications in the county area. The project consists of 10 existing and new communication facilities in the Seattle region. The facilities will be designed to accommodate radio and microwave interconnect antennas on the structure and space for radio equipment. The project specifics are as follows:
- Site design including mechanical, electrical and structural engineering for 10 sites
- Zoning analysis and land use/building permit application submission through approval
- Client representation at public hearings
- Site surveys and audit reporting in conjunction with jurisdiction selected radio equipment provider
- Construction drawings and engineering specifications for public bids
- Customized reports for client including project tracking, project scheduling and construction cost analysis

Energy Northwest Rattlesnake Mountain CCCF
Richaland, WA
Situated on top of a mountain, the new communication facility provides much needed space for high profile government wireless users. The project consists of a new building to house 18 tenants, a new 180’ self-supporting tower, and an extension to an existing tower. It was initiated by a request from a Native American community to consolidate all hi-tech environments on a mountain in order to preserve, respect, and revere Native American land. Many significant challenges arose including the need to not disturb any ground with material or staging. Because of the severity of the landscape and elevations, structures must withstand winds of 120 mph. With the wind and winter snow, this put the construction window at two months. The solution is a modular, precast building on a floating concrete foundation. The foundations for the towers were concrete pads poured above grade. Extraordinary coordination was necessary for acceptable construction methods; clearance to a high security, limited access site; and structures able to withstand extreme weather conditions. The project’s success was also due to on-time delivery and open communication with all parties.
