1998-99 Photos - Fuel Arch Upgrade
 More boats, more tanks...(NSF) |
 ...until the last tank got some special attention (I). |
 Here it goes! (I). |
 The last tank was set at 2110 on 7 January 1999 (I). |
 Still a lot of work to do...like all of the interconnecting piping...(I) |
 ...vents and drains...(I) |
 ...and the walkways between each pair of tanks. (I) |
 All that is left is a new upwind bulkhead (I). |
 The newly completed and inspected set of tanks, as seen from the roof of the pumphouse (C). |
 Some of the piping inside the pumphouse. Everything was on line by the end of the summer (I). |
 A new emergency exit with a spiral stair was added on the upwind end of the fuel arch. By 2005 it was getting buried (2005). |
 Just inside the door, here is the top landing of the spiral stair (2005). |
 Here's the view from the bottom of the stairs (I). |
 A more recent look at the markings and signatures on the last row of tanks (2005). |
 Here's the walkway along the side of the arch (2005). |
 Here's the fuel arch pumphouse. Normally this structure is rather hard to photograph, but this unique view was taken in 2005-06 when the downwind bulkhead was being replaced as part of the biomed arch raising project (JM). |
 A closeup view of the northwest end of the pumphouse, with the first tank in the background (2008). |
 Looking southeast along the upwind side of the pumphouse. These two sides of the pumphouse are due to be "pushed out" to expand the building interior during the 2008-09 summer (2008). |
