[Sunfish (Ray)]

I suppose the structure itself must weigh a few tons also.

Good deep piers below the weather sound good. I suppose it would be a little over the top drilling for rock in that flat stable location but a nuisance if you hit it.

I see each meerkat SKA dish has 8 concrete piles 5-10m deep and that is to stay perfectly located . So you are getting up there.

Thanks Ray, to hold down the structure, there is about 11.5 tonne of concrete... 8 legs with each having a concrete pile poured underneath it, 600mm diameter and 2000mm deep at least, should give me just over 4m3 in total for the outer frame.
