Sicop was a construction company located in Valencia, but most of the people working for the Sicop were Catalan. Sicop was in charge of all the land-preparation, as well as of the construction of all the antenna anchors and platforms. Sicop subcontracted with other companies for site preparation work, an effort that lasted more than three years. Sicop oversaw and supervised the extensive earth-moving effort using large earth-moving equipment to eliminate giant dunes and to level the landscape to accommodate later construction of buildings and antennas. The effort also included the building of road-beds and installation of fencing.  After the platform sites for all antennas were prepared, the main effort of installing guy anchorages began. The effort was slow because of the difficulty of dealing with beach sand  while excavating 100m2 pits and many miscellaneous holes of 3,70 meters diameters. After the excavation work was completed, it was necessary to install complicated wooden form work to handle the concrete pouring. Form work design and installation had to be very precise and were closely monitored by Sicop engineers. During the final year, even as site-preparation work was still underway, steel-work and installation of the smaller antennas began. The erectors came from London, young people and very agile. They even brought their own doctor who looked after their health quite closely and even controlled their diets, saying what they could and could not eat. The tools and equipment used during the antenna erection phase were new to us and it was quite intriguing to watch these experts at work. Later the construction of the buildings and the remaining antennas was started
