POST -GO
CONSTRUCTION Nine AEC furnished Type III wave sensor equipped installa -~
tions are to be located around the perimeter of the island of Hawaii. The primary objective is to measure and record the amplitude and time of arrival of
long period waves over a predetermined period. The equipment will be emplaced by DRL personnel at various predetermined bay and harbor locations and

will be housed in existing shelters or small AEC furnished utility sheds.

A

combination 400 sq. ft. office and shop area in Kailua with telephone answer-

ing service will be furnished DRL.

The installations will contain a differential sensor, data logging system, and
an armored cable connecting the implanted wave sensing transducer with the

completely self-containd data logging system.

The transducer will be installed

by DRL scuba divers in approximately 30 to 50-ft. of water and located ina
position to eliminate as much shore-induced phenomena as possible. H&N will
furnish voice communications between Hawaii Type III sites and the Damon
Tract trailer offices.
DRL personnel will assemble at Damon Tract to prepare equipment prior to
deployment. A DRL Type III installation team of 8 persons, including scuba
divers and technical personnel, will emplace and roll up the equipment; 2
men will operate and maintain the equipment for the duration of the program.
DRL personnel will obtain subsistence through the local economy.
