Summary of Field Work: |
MG&G work in S. Marianas, natural port is Guam. Use deep-towed sonar system (IMI-120), dredge, wax-core |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
towed magnetometer (in case we have a chance to use it on transits, etc.)
Gravimeter (this should just run continuously, Melville has one, not sure about Revelle)
Fiber optic wire and mechanical dredging wire (capable or reaching 6000 m) which means they probably need a full spool (~10,000 m)
On Melville will need FO portable traction winch plus mechanical wire on ship's winch on Revelle will need both FO and Mechanical Wire winches.
Dredge (spares?)
Wax Core (spares?)
pinger (spare?)
rock saw and blades
Dynamic Positioning,
Multibeam System, |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We will be using the IMI-120 (deep-tow sonar) and will attach MAPRs to tow cable and dredge/wax core wire. request two deck technicians. At times there will be a lot of deck activity (when switching over between deep-tow and dredging and during the dredging). This may be a lot for one deck tech to handle alone as they usually have to oversee these operations. |

We request two deck technicians. At times there will be a lot of deck activity (when switching over between deep-tow and dredging and during the dredging). This may be a lot for one deck tech to handle alone as they usually have to oversee these operations. |
