an entrance tunnel 7’ x 7’ and 18 long with 2foot-thick walls. Station 1315 was 12’ x 16’ x 14’

high with 3-foot-thick walls and an entrance
tunnel 6’-6” x 6’-6” and 5 long with 2-footthick walls. Station 1315 was connected to
Station 1310 by 14 6-inch conduit and to Station 1316 by 14 1-inch conduit. Both stations
were covered with approximately 8 feet of earth

fill for shielding. Entrance to each station was

by means of a heavy steel blast-resistant door
at the end of the access tunnel. Power requirements consisted of 0.3 KW, 120-volt, single-

phase. Two phone jacks were required and 7
pair of signal wires were extended to Station
1315.

This station was a 27’ x 7x 4’-6”-high reinforced concrete shelter divided into five cubicles by walls 1 foot thick. The cubicles were 3’
x3’ x 3’-6” high except for the end cubicles,
which were 3’x 4’x3’-6” high. The foundation
slab was 3 feet thick. The exterior of the walls
was 2 feet thick and contained stirrups as well
as other reinforcing. A detector head was mounted in each cubicle at an elevation of plus 17 feet.
Each cubicle had a removable cover of
reinforced concrete 12 inches thick, with eyebolts

installed to facilitate handling. An open slot in
the front and rear walls of each cubicle permitted detector heads to have an unobstructed line
of sight to Stations 6, 7 and 24. Located on
each side of the detector cubicles and 4 feet

from the exterior walls were two 36’-7” x 13’
concrete bins with heights varying from 8’ to ¥6” for one bin and from 9’-6” to 10’-2” on the
other. One bin contained ten 12’”-diameter steel
pipes with the bottom row of 5 pipes oriented
on the working point of Station 24 and the top
5 pipes oriented on the working point of Station
7. In the other bin were five 12-inch pipes
oriented on the working point of Station 6. The
reference point from whichall pipes were oriented was the detector head within each cubicle.
The bins were filled with coral sand. A 414”-

diameter 4”-thick lead stopper was supported
in the outside end of each pipe by a styrofoam
plug, cut to fit the 12” pipe.
Three cubicles had two 4’-diameter conduits and the two end ones had four 4” conduits

leading to Stations 1315 and 1310, respectively.

Station 1315 - 85% Complete

A total of 86 cubic yards of concrete, with
an average 28-day cylinder break of 4,201 psi,
was poured for Station 1314, and 80 cubic
yards was poured for Station 1315.
On pouring concrete for Station 1314, it
was noted that the conduits were spaced too
close together to allow the large aggregate to
pass between them, so it was decided to use
grout up to the level of the top of the conduit
and place concrete the remainder of the way.
This procedure proved satisfactory and assured
a good tight bond around the conduit.

Floor drains were provided for the cubicles. The
pipe alignment for this station was intricate in
that it involved two different angles cut on each
end of the pipe sleeves for lining up the working
points of both the stations and detectors. At
the point of convergence, it was necessary to

cut the pipes and weld the ends together to
maintain alignment.
A total of 461 cubic yards of concrete was
poured with an average 28-day cylinder break
of 3,177 psi.
