were required. Power requirements were 15 KW,
120,208 volt, 3-phase. Five timing signals and
a go-no-go-circuit were to be provided. Rehabili-

tation started on 21 April 1956 and, at User

tended from one end of the building to the cen-

ter of a 66’ long 3’-thick retaining wall. Approximately 10 of earth covered the tunnel and building. Because of the high loadings, the main rein-

forcing was placed in two layers throughout
most of the structure, and stirrups were install-

ed in the mannerof straight reinforcing in sev-

eral layers and parallel to the main reinforcing.
Within the building, two heavy lead doors re-

The tunnel entrance at the retaining wall contained a 3’-6” x 9-6” steel-framed blast door.

one side of the detector cubicles, and only three

quired. Three 12”-pipes were to be used with a

clear line of sight to the working point of Station 5. The working point of the detector heads
were to be 20” above the cubicle floor. Progress

Power was provided by two 30 KW, 120/

208 volt, 3-phase portable diesel engine-driven
generators mounted on a concrete slab approximately 45 feet from the station. One generator

provided power for normal needs; the other was

used as a stand-by unit. A 10 KW dummyload
was tied into an automatic transfer switch so
that the stand-by generator was loaded when
not used for station power. Each generator was
connected into a 36-circuit power panel through
