2005-06 Summer Photos - New Cryogenics Facility

"Cryo" was assembled during the 2005-06 summer...


First, a temporary cryo setup was created. The 3000 liter
Wessington dewars (at right) were moved out of the old cryo
barn so that the permanent site could be backfilled (I).

Looking toward summer camp, in the center is the north dewar storage module staged out of the way. At the far right is the temporary cryo storage area; the balloon inflation facility is at the far left (PR).

Sections of the center module were shaken out (PR).

Here the south module has been placed in position, and the center module is being erected (RP).

Here the roof panels are being installed connecting these two units (RP).

The south 2/3 of the facility have been put together next to the BIF (I).

The assembled structure; this view shows how much fill was added to raise this building out of the "bowl." (BB).

The front view. The old cryo barn has been positioned to the left of the new structure; the BIF is at right (USAP),

Another view from the front. The center portion houses those Wessington dewars, the right portion houses the admin and mechanical space, as well as room for the LN2 plant, there was consideration given to moving it here from MAPO (hmmm....). (JB)
