CHAPTER |, SECTION 1 Figure 1-2. Major Scientific Stations - Yvonne Construction activities with respect to scientific stations and temporary facilities were required on practically all islands of Eniwetok and Bikini as well as on seven other atolls in the Western Pacific Ocean area where four weather station and eight scientific projects were located. Concurrent with the construction of scien- tific stations and temporary facilities, expansion and improvement of the Elmer and Fred camps were effected. The principal facilities added during the transitional period under P&E projects for the Fiscal] Year 1955, as previously noted, were the deep-water pier, eleven barracks at Fred, and the second submarine powercable between Elmer and Fred. Additional plant and equipment projects approved for construction during Fiscal Year 1956 (P&E Projects 6001 and 6011) included 17 buildings at Fred and 18 buildings at Elmer, with a total building area of 147,494 sq. ft. for barracks, shops, warehouses, administration offices, and other uses. With the exception of the chapel at Elmer and the chapel and guest house on Fred, which were wooden structures, all the buildings added were prefabricated of either the all-aluminum (Pacific Iron & Steel) type or the steel frame with aluminum siding and roofing (Butler) type. To the Fred POL farm there were added two 5,000- barrel and two 10,000-barrel fuel storage tanks, filling and distribution lines, and fire protection and other appurtenances. The Elmer POL farm was modernized with a replacement of tanks and additional fire protection. A Joint AECArmed Forces Radio Receiving Station, including a camp to support approximately 20 operating personnel was constructed on David. Page 1-5
