The assembly operation involves erection of framework on the module bases <br />and the installation of the various materiais and equipment. This install- <br />ation is accomplished primarly by welding or boiting in place. The entire <br />module assembly then is covered with prefabricated insulated siding suitable <br />for sea shipment. <br />Modules are transported from the assembly locations to the barges by use of <br />large crawler transporters. These transporters are driven under the module <br />bases and hydraulically lift the entire assembly and move it over a prepared <br />surface onto the barge. <br />Barge traffic - <br />Approximately ten barges will be loaded each assembly year. These ten <br />barges will accortunodate approximately sixty modules. Loadouts will occur <br />during htay and June of 1983 and 1984; in addition to the loadout years, <br />there may be some iimited barge traffic during the 1982 season. (Loadout <br />timing is dictated and coincident to the annual break in the ice pack in <br />the Bering Strait). <br />Site preparation and construction of adjacent structures - <br />At each module ass^mbly location, concrete pads will be placed to support <br />the module bases. In addition, �ssembly locations will be provided with <br />water, air, electrical power, and a drain system. These systems will be <br />installed underground prior to or during the s:te preparation, which will <br />include covering the exposed areas with a crushed rock or gravel. <br />Existing warehouse area at the Norton Avenue Terminal will be utilized for <br />a portion of the warehousing requirements. Approximately 95,000 square feet <br />of additional warehousing an� office space will be constructed. A fabrication <br />shop for welding small bore (2" and urider) piping will be erectP?. This <br />pipe fabrication shop will be approximately 4,000 square fea'. Chanse houses <br />for craft personnel will be single stozy, portable strucr.u*es. Approxi- <br />mately 5,000 square feet will be.required. <br />Acknowledging that the Port requires restoration of the property to the original, <br />the barge basin will be filled ir and compacted to the original configuration, or <br />if preferred by the Port, the slip� could be util�zed for subsequent barge <br />activities. <br />Estimate of site improvement costs - <br />Develop dead-load barge slip <br />Surface preparation <br />Underground Utilities <br />Electrical power, water, air <br />sewer, lighting <br />Diodule bases <br />Building ^fodif:caticn <br />TOTAL <br />SZ,500,000 <br />$1,04Q,000 <br />Ss,9oo,000 <br />51,100,000 <br />$2,060,OU0 <br />f 10, 600, O(,C <br />, <br />-�- <br />
