the foundation provided for securing the dectors. The foundations and pits were covered with
a weather-proof enclosure made of light structural steel framing and corrugated aluminum
sheeting and roofing. Located at the front of
each foundation were four pipe support pedestals for carrying sight tubes. A causeway of
standard Jobsite design, was constructed on the
ocean side of the island in order to reach Station 2220.01. Station 2210 supplied the required
3 KW power. Sheeting and roofing were removed prior to and replaced after the Cherokee
event.

These stations were lead detector assemblies
and appurtenances which were approximately
4’-4” x 10-4” and 4’-8” high containing a lead

wall in the center and protected by a concrete

box-like structure. Four collimator pipe supports

were required for each station. Stations 2221.01,

.02 and .03 at Sally were located on an existing
concrete slab. To obtain the required elevation,
it was necessary to remove some of the concrete
and reinforcing from the slab. For Station
2221.04, Ruby, a two-foot retaining wall was
required on the ocean side in order to hold the
required sand cover. High tides undermined the
backfill; consequently, riprap was placed 15 feet
from the station. The windward side of each
station was protected by a temporary wall
approximately 16’ x 23’.
Two 2%” conduits were run from Station
2201 to each detector of Stations 2221.01 thru

2221.03. Ten direct burial cables were run from

Station 2221.04 to Station 2201. A 5 KW gener-

ator located adjacent to Station 2221.04 pro-

vided the instrument and utility power at this
station. A total of 94 cubic yards of concrete
was required.

This station was a coaxial cable connector
pit of concrete construction and was 7’x 8’ x 4’
deep with 11”-thick walls at the bottom taper-

ing to 8” walls at the top. It was provided with
ladder rungs, a wooden cover, pull rings, two
5” deep x 5-6” long slits at opposite ends,
and was covered with earth fill. A total of six
cubic yards of concrete was poured.

This station was a reinforced concrete
collimating baffle 24’ wide, approximately 2114’
high and 2’-6” thick, located 55’ east of the
Station 22 working point. It contained three
holes and one notch in the side for collimator
sight tubes. These tubes were required to be
accurately aligned with Station 22. Five 4”
conduits were run from Station 22 to the underside of Station 2250. A total of 76 cubic yards
of concrete was poured with an average 28-day
strength of 3050 psi.

12-1-55/3-28-56

These stations were steel towers prefabricated in sections then erected to support lead
collimating discs on a platform approximately
8’ square. Station 2251.01 was 12.5’ high and
Station 2251.02 was 32.6’ high; both were
erected on concrete footings. Both towers were

dismantled for the Stations 1 and 2 events, then
re-erected for the Station 3 event. To ensure
stability of the tower legs during dismantling
and re-erection, a #11 rebar rod was welded

from leg to leg at the base. The Contractor
