CHAPTER II, SECTION 5 Figure 2-106. Station 1202 - 89% Completed i for alignment purposes. Two insulating pipe sections, 20 feet long, were provided for each pipe; however. 7 ¥ On 19 December 1952, an alignment procedure was submitted to UCRL which covered the during early tests, failure alignment of a continuous pipeline 10,000 feet which were furnished by the User, are deserihed conducted at the juusite were receiverl snow- occurred in an insulating section and they were eliminated. Provisions were made in each of the 12 pipes for connecting vacuum pumps for evacuating the pipeline. The vacuum pumps. under Station 1204.03. in length, to a horizontal and vertical tolerance of plus or minus 0.5 inch from a line of sight between working points at the extremities of the line. On 23 January 1953, results of tests ; ENGINEERING. The original design critena for this Station were received from UCRL in a letter dated 18 December 1952. At that time it was planned to construct a seven-pipe array approximately 9,500 feet long on the TareSugar-Roger group of islands at Bikini. The location was later changed to site Charlie. and the number of pipes was increased to 12. In the ing solar radiation did not adversely affect alignment of a section of 8 5 8” O.D. pipe. Investigations were conducted in comperation with UCRL representatives to obtain suitable expansion and insulating joints. A 1,000-foot trial section of pipeline was constructed at UCRL, Livermore, California, and tested. In the meantime, the specification for the pipe was received from UCRL who had made preliminary arrangements to secure it for the various arrays from Armco Drainage and Metal ical, would have to be held in a straight line from the device to the detector. It was further established that the pipeline should be designed to withstand a wind of 35-mph without movement and a wind of 90-mph with movement, Manager for further processing through Armco Drainage and Metal Products, [nc., and delivery to Jobsite. Preliminary design work undertaken is noted above. Working drawings were started on 8 May and seven drawings and origina! criteria it was established that the alignment of the pipeline, both horizontal and vert- although after a 90-mph wind it would be ex- pected that minor adjustments, repair and re- alignment would be required. Products, Inc. The procurement of this materia] was turned over to H&N bythe Field seven sketches were submitted from 14 May to 1 December. Approvals were dated from 3 June to 8 January 1954.
