Capabilities
|
Test area #3 covers over two acres. Test area #3 is generally sea level with entry into water table envelopes at 1 – 1.5 meters. The site is two tiered with a surface-to-one-meter depth area (approximately 100m x 300m), and a second tier, a two meter elevated pad (approximately 80m x 80 meters) with a surface-to-three-meter depth area. If necessary, there are options to expand the site. An alternate site is available for live (UXO) testing with EOD support.
The test site has a heated and cooled control building. The compound, in general, has full complement of support facilities.
Note: The site was pulled this spring and used for mine plow tests. A new test site layout is under way.
