Abstract


A radio beacon is just a reference point, a station that sends out radio signals to help planes to find their way. This station requires the construction of a platform of 40 metres diameter, generally sited in mountain heights or in places free from interferences. In this work, the radio beacon recently built in Arta, at the Northeastern end of Mallorca by Dragados & Construcciones S. A. is described, developing the most representative of the construction: the concrete structure and the setting of the iron structure because of its special characteristics of form and dimensions.
