DESCRIPTION Transshipment magazines (Igloos) A& Bare located ina fenced
area southeast of the Payload Storage Building. The earth-covered, quonsettype structures were designed and constructed by the DPWO in 1965.
The igloos are strengthened with a floor slab and walls of 15-in. thick reinforced
concrete. Measuring é¢7 x 32-it. in plan, the magazines have a maximum ceiling height of 13-ft.
The two magazines are situated side-by-side on 50-ft. centers and share a common earth-fill blanket 150 x 70-ft. in plan which covers all but one end of each
structure. Depth of the earthen blanket over the roofis 2-ft.
A lU-ft. high by 12-ft. wide doorway provides the only access to each igloo.
Louvered intakes adjacent to the doorway ventilate each structure.
Air conditioning and dehumidification were provided as a result of a modification
completed in 1966. An exterior unit, shared by the igloos, maintains a relative
humidity of less than 50% and a temperature of 74°F -6°%.
A 90-ft. long, 14-ft. high sand-filled barricade with 1l6-in. thick reinforced concrete walls lies 90-ft. east of the magazines
Two similar magazines adjacent to these are to be constructed in the future.
