The quality of construction was evident throughout the structures.

Concrete was well consolidated; there was no exposed reinforcement; forms

were true; and there was no evidence of patching after forms were stripped.
All concrete rang true when struck with a hammer. There was no evidence

of settlement or cracking of building foundations, columns, pilasters, or

equipment blocks. Strain gauge tests on engine crank shafts at all sites
after the blasts indicate that there is no misalignment. Due to the water
seal and earth fill, it was impossible to inspect the outside roof, faceon and side-on walls of these structures.
