SUMMARY:Some Experiences in Designing SKA-related Sites and Instruments: E
 ngineers\, Radio Astronomers and Construction Teams  - Howard Reader (Univ
 ersity of Stellenbosch\, South Africa)

CONTACT:David Titterington
DESCRIPTION:The seminar reflects on the many activities that South African
  and partner teams are engaged in that form part of setting up the Karoo s
 ite to host the SKA telescopes.  The engineering challenges\, directed by 
 the science goals\, regularly push the teams into unchartered waters.  Fun
 ctional\, deadline-driven dialogue between international partners\, where 
 contractors have to watch their profit lines\, sets part of the boundaries
 .  The presentation will be illustrated with some contemporary development
 s\, which will be related to broader SKA project progress\, especially wit
 h respect to aperture arrays\, development metrology\, deployment and ligh
 tning/RFI protection.\n
