Good to see an Aussie company in the Atacama. Chilenos are hard workers too. I worked at an observatory nearby the sun is just violent at this part of the world.

Are they just laying them on the ground? Seems like you'd need some concrete or something heavy to anchor them to or they would blow away on a windy day.

How long does it take to install the base supports?

A purpose built loader could probably install these much faster.
