If I'm understanding this right, it looks it comes packaged in a 40' ISO standard cargo container, then you use some piece of construction equipment to pull it sideways (on a skid?) out of the container, then pull the string lengthwise across the ground to unfold it to its full length.
The website says "shallow ground penetration" which sounds to me like some sort of anchors that are drilled into the surface then bolts run down into them (such as with a construction team using the largest size of battery operated Milwaukee hammer drills?), or similar.
Yep that’s pretty much it as far as I know. I think they’ve been floated as the deployment mechanism for the SunSolar/sunCable powering Singapore from the NT (…if that ever happens)
I think it comes in pretty useful at temporary sites and for disaster relief but not sure if it’s been deployed for that yet
