The Met Office Weather Radars are able to detect a very small return signal from

precipitation at ranges of up to 250Km from the site. To maintain data quality the radome

must have little or no effect on the returned signal. To mitigate the effect the radome

structure has on the returned signal, and to ensure all electrical and other equipment within

the radome is kept dry and secure from the elements requires routine maintenance of the

structure to ensure it is clean, watertight, fully coated to repel precipitation (Hydrophobic)

and structurally sound to withstand environmental loadings.

This contract is to deliver these requirements across the 18 Weather Radar sites.
