Station 1524 occupied Room 4 of RED-
WING Station 1611. The room was 24x15 feet
in plan with a 9-foot ceiling height. The floor
slab was 324 feet thick, walls were 4 feet
thick, and the roof slab was 314 feet thick, all
of heavily re-inforced concrete construction. The
room was copper screened on walls and ceiling;
it contained two electric heaters, a dehumidifier
unit, light fixtures, convenience outlets, and a
camera stand. The camera stand was a steel
frame, 24 feet Jong by 2 feet wide by 2 feet high,
with a 24x14-inch aluminum plate cover 24 feet
long. Five existing buried 24-inch-ID steel pipes
extended from a port opening in the west wall
of the station through an existing retaining wall.
The overall length of the pipes was 25 feet. The
existing fill over the pipe area extended from a
10-foot-deep fill, top of fill Elevation + 26.5, to
the top of the retaining wall at Elevation ~ 18.0,
This fill area was raised over the top of the wall
Jevel to barricade Station 1526 to Elevation — 23.
Wing walls of the existing retaining wall were
removed to provide a straight wall section 50 feet
long. This wall section then provided the east
wall of new Station 1526 and a portion of the
east wall of new Station 1311. At the west end
a depth of 5 feet over the roof slab. A single
room space, 1314x114 feet, with a 614-foot
ceiling height was provided by the Fluor struc-
ture. The floor slab was 114 feet thick: the front
wall facing Station 21 was 5 feet thick; other
walls and the roof slab were 2 feet thick. A reinforced concrete breast wall, 3714 feet long,
was shaped around both sides of the front wall,
rising to 3 feet above the roof slab. Fill against
the front face of the breast wall was shaped
to provide a V-shaped cut opening to a 36-inchdiameter pive sleeve in the Fluor structure front
wall on a line-of-sight to Station 21. A 6-footwide by 514-foot-high tunnel section 10 feet
long with 12-inch thick re-inforced concrete walls,
floor, and roof slab extended from the Fluor
structure south wall and connected to the end
of the wood frame tunnel to Station 1526. The
tunnel was 152 feet long, of wood stud and joist
frame construction over a combined floor and
footing concrete slab, and contained plywood
sheathing over wall and roof framing. Wood
frame tunnel sections were 3214 feet long by
7 feet clear inside width, 50 feet long by 8 feet
clear, 50 feet long by 9 feet clear, and 1914 by
10 feet clear. The average clear ceiling height
of the flat slope roof joists was 734 feet. Four
light-tight louvered 3x7-foot access doors and
twenty 3x34x5'%4-foot light-tight louvered vent
wall panels were installed in the length of the
wood framed tunnel. The structure contained
utility and experimental electric power panels,
