The station contained two User-furnished Kinney Model KD-780 vacuum pumps, piping manifolds for make-up to Vacuum Pipeline Station
1210.01, telephone and field phones, signal
cabinet, electric circuits for the vacuum pumps,
outside salt water pump, receptacles, and light
fixtures. Electric power for the two vacuum
pumps was provided by a 100-kw portable
generator outside and adjacent to the station

steel pipe and 300 feet of 8-inch. A 4-inch
branch line connected to Vacuum Pump House,
Station 1218. The main pipeline was supported
on steel angle A-frames spaced at 14 feet and
20 feet respectively for the 4-inch-diameter
and 8-inch diameter pipe. The support frames
were from 3 feet to 41% feet high, and the lower
end of the two post angles were embedded in
concrete pier footing 114 feet square. The length
of pipeline was earth-barricated for its entire
length, with the top of the fill at Elevation
~ 13.0. The average depth of fill was 7 feet.

The reinforced concrete terminal structure
of Vacuum Pipeline Station 1217-was aligned
with Pinhole Station 1210.02 at the opposite
end of the pipeline and with Station 20. The
structure consisted of an embedded segment
of the end 8-inch steel pipe section of Station
1217 in the 3014x4-foot-wide wall section on
a continuous wall footing 8 feet wide and 2
feet thick. The structure was earth barricaded
to the top of wall Elevation + 13.75 on three
sides, leaving access on the end of the structure to a terminal flange on the vacuum pipeline. Electric power was supplied to three outlet receptacles at the end wall of the structure
The Vacuum Pump House was a 13x18x8foot wood-framed building with plywood exterior wall sheathing, flat-sloped roof deck with
plywood sheathing, dry sheet composition roof-
ing, and 4-inch concrete floor slab. The building housed two User-furnished Kinney Model
KS-47 vacuum pumps to produce the vacuum
required for Vacuum Pipeline Stations 1217
and 1311. Construction features included an
outside salt water well, cased, with turbine
pump, pipe manifolding between vacuum pipe-
line stations and the vacuum pumps, 4-inch
cast iron floor drain line to lagoon, light, tele-
phone, field phone, and receptacles. The elec-
tric power source was Transformer Station “A”

from a transformer station at this end of the
island. For this station the User was furnished
a 3x4x6-foot concrete anchor block and 6000
feet of 1-inch steel cable.
