Station Installation

Station Installation

PASSCAL can help guide you through various aspects of Station Installation, including Tasks, Time required, Crews needed, Recordkeeping considerations, and Suggested Materials. For broadband experiments the PI and students come to PASSCAL for several days of training before your experiment's field campaign begins. During the training session details of the experiment's logistic and climatic conditions are discussed and considered for the station design and installation procedures.

Here are links to documents that will help you to think about seismic station siting considerations and seismic vault construction during planning stages, field reconnaisance, and instrument deployment. Also included here are links to guidelines and procedures for station installation and station servicing.

 

Station Installation Suggested Materials List

Introduction:

One of the worst things that can happen during a deployment, especially a highly remote deployment, is not having the correct tools or supplies.  The following is a minimum suggested list of things to take if you are constructing a station that will house PASSCAL equipment for more than a few weeks. This list is in addition to the construction materials that will be used to make vaults, enclosures and fences.  Usually this would pertain to passive-source, broadband (or midband) experiments that deploy equipment for 1-2 years and will be visited approximately every three months during that time in order to check the data and the condition of the station.  PASSCAL will advise if any other specialty tools are required.  Please adjust quantities to provide for all installation teams and number of stations.
