These stations consisted of a 40’ x 80’ cleared area for rocket launchers, a 2 KW gasoline
engine generator, and a 14’ x 14’ tent with work
bench. All obstructions over 25 feet high and

mounted at each station. The pipe columns were

embedded in a concrete foundation which was
4’ x 11’ x 3’ deep. Each pipe column was connected to a junction box by conduit. Cable was
drawn through this junction box and thence
to a recording station. Because the depth of
sand above the coral at these locations was
approximately 5.5 feet, it was necessary to drive
12-inch H-piles to support the concrete foundations of the stations. These piles were driven
to a total penetration varying from 15.5 to
17.0 feet; average penetration into the coral
was 10 to 12 feet. Concrete poured for each
station was 5 cubic yards at an average 28-day
strength of 3,900 psi.
