back to Engineer Team E-4 or the E-4 bunker, or the Index

 


     Besides all of this, there's also the equipment built into the bunker.

     The team is focused on infrastructure construction and repair. Keep in mind that the Project expects to find plenty of tools and raw materials -- hammers, electric drills, carpentry shops, sand, lumber -- and volunteer workers after the Atomic War.

     The eight storage chambers on the sides of the bunker are filled to (on the average) 5 meters (over 15 feet) deep with supplies and equipment. There are narrow lanes for forklifts and pallet trucks to move around.

Callender-Hamilton expedient steel bridge components; these store at about 0.8 cubic meters per ton, so about 7,500 tons worth. This is a general "meccano" system, which can be used to make all sorts of steel truss structures (not just bridges). The team is mostly expected to make spans of up to 48 meters length; each span weighing up to 200 tons. Longer spans, up to 128 meters long, will take more engineering manpower than the team has. The spans are of the Warren truss configuration.

  • The structural steel components are:  two sizes of gusset plates, a batten plate, two kinds of connector plates, a leg plate, an angle cleat, a side stiffener for single trusses, a vertical angle beam, and the standard meter long angle beam for chords and diagonals. I think most of the structural steel is 3/8" thick (9.5mm).

  • In addition, there are a lot of 1.5" bolts, nuts, and pins; twelve tool kits, and a lot of rollers and "skates" for rolling bridges on railway track or other weight-bearing surfaces.

  • A 24 meter long, one-lane bridge over a shallow creek can be assembled by six men in six hours, with no power tools required (except perhaps a truck with a winch); it weighs 37.2 tons, and can support at least a 30 ton load. The heaviest single component of the system weighs 191 kg (the standard angle beam); a six-man team needs one bridge tool kit (see below) and at least one set of pioneer tools. Spans can be built from 18 to 128 meters in length, with a normal space between trusses of 4 meters, the outside width is usually 6 meters, and crossings of any length can be achieved with multiple spans and intermediate piers. A span of up to at least 60 meters can be extended out from one side of a gap, with counterweights on the "inland" end during assembly, and built in a week by a crew of 50 workers. There are only 10 different types of steel component (not including decking, which can be wood, metal grid, or steel plates). With some engineering effort, lift or rotating drawbridges can be built from this bridging material.

Cryoberth Chamber Fixtures and Equipment

 

floor heaters and personal equipment are seen lying on the floor in this image

 

     See also the bunker description. The chamber where the teams spends years in cryogenic suspension is 9 meters wide and 15 meters long (1453 square feet, if it matters), with a high, arched ceiling. There are nine pads for cryoberths in the bunker, but only eight cryoberths.

     There are four 5-gallon white plastic buckets filled with bentonite dessicant, scattered about the chamber. The screw-on lids for these buckets are stacked neatly along one side of the chamber.

     The walls and ceiling are covered in white polyethylene sheeting; there are thirteen clusters of stainless-steel air nozzles protruding from the walls -- these will be cold and covered with a small amount of frost when the team wakes up. A pressure relief valve is built into the wall near each door.

     Six 500-watt incandescent bulbs hang from the ceiling, with cone-shaped metal shades; the ceiling space is thus sort of dim. Several standard 110-volt AC power outlets are set low along the walls; each has an electro-luminescent night-light plugged into it; the cryoberths are plugged into heavy-duty 240 volt outlets.

     Four 1,500 watt electric convection heaters are also plugged into the 110 volt outlets. Each is 5.6 kg, 45 cm tall, 22 liters volume, with a 4 meter long power cord.

     The "outer" end of the chamber has the bunker "monitor computer and VLF radio" on a shelf.

     In the middle of the chamber is a folding banquet table, with eight candy bars and eight cans of water. The team's basic loads and role kits are piled neatly on the floor at the foot of each cryoberth; their personal effects boxes are stored inside the cryoberths, protected by the heavy lids.

     Set in the floor under the folding table is a small, perforated metal plate -- it covers a sump about a meter deep. The sump, in turn, connects to several "leach line" pipes buried in the cinders; there's a backflow-preventer valve at the bottom of the sump. Stenciled on the floor next to the metal plate are the words, "NOT SANITARY DRAIN."

     There's a big "flight line" type of fire extinguisher in the chamber (see the Other Supplies section for more details on this).

     A 2-meter tall metal four-door cabinet against the wall, near the exit to the main tunnel; it holds "janitor supplies":

 

  • 2 gray plastic "bus trays" (sort of like what restaurants use for clearing tables)

  • 2 stiff-bristle push brooms

  • 2 big dustpans

  • a mop and rolling mop bucket/mangle

  • box of 6 replacement mop heads

  • 5 bags (23 kg each) of bentonite (mostly for use as oil and spill absorbent in this case)

  • 8 body bags

  • 2 shovels

  • 2 cardboard boxes, each with 24 incandescent light bulbs (500 watt rating)

  • wet/dry utility vacuum cleaner; mass 15 kg, includes two 3 meter hoses and a 6 meter power cord; runs on 110 volt AC power

  • 20 liter white plastic bucket of concentrated cleaner/degreaser (main active ingredient caustic soda, aka sodium hydroxide at pH 12:  "Do not breathe fumes or spray; wash face, hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling; wear protective gloves, clothing and eye protection during use." Much less concentrated than drain cleaner, but it will strip paint; do not use on aluminum surfaces.)

  • cardboard box of 40 pairs of blue rubber disposable gloves

  • cardboard box of 40 pairs of blue rubber drawstring boot covers

  • cardboard box of 20 SCALP sets ("suit, contamination avoidance, liquid protective"): polyethylene hooded jacket, trousers, and booties in sage green. Sizes are two S, four M, four L, six XL and four XXL (although the sizes are all oversize to allow wearing over AUIB suits and other clothing). They are not intended to be re-used, cleaned or laundered, and in fact are usually "torn off" after about an hour's wear in the field. Each suit comes in a sealed OD green plastic bag, about 21 cm long, 15 cm wide and otherwise "bulgy"; bagged suit weighs 0.6 kg.

  • 10 cans of Boraxo

  • 2 cases of shop towels (30 rolls per case, 55 heavy-duty blue paper towels per roll)

  • 25 kg bale of wiping rags

  • stack of 6 plastic garbage cans, 32 gallon capacity, with six snap-on lids

  • case (roll) of 100 contractor's 33 gallon black plastic tras bags, 2.5 mil thickness

  • 4-wheel dolly for garbage cans (and other items)

 

Other Supplies

 

     Nine two-wheeled "flight line" fire extinguishers are provided for the bunker:  one for each of the big storage chambers, and one in the cryoberth chamber. Each weighs 140 kg when loaded with 68 kg of Halon (about half the volume of the tank -- the rest is 200 psi nitrogen); they take up 120 liters when stored, and stand 1.5 meters tall. They discharge completely in 44 seconds, through an 18 meter hose of 1.9 cm diameter (standard 3/4" fire hose), to a range of 15 meters. They can be towed up to 25 kph on paved surfaces by their lunette ring.

    The empty 90 liter pressure tank, with hose, weighs 42 kg; thus the frame and wheels weigh 30 kg.

 

 

     All of the items below are stored in the side chambers; many of these items are related to the "external stores", or other salvaged vehicles. Note that the Maintenance Accessory trailer is also largely meant for restoring pre-War vehicles to running condition.

200 liter/221 kg drums of two-component flat-proofing polymer for tires. Half of the drums are "A" component, the other half are "B" component; they are mixed evenly while filling the tire. This stuff cures in 24 hours. Even stored in nitrogen, shelf life is only a few years. Vehicles will weigh significantly more with filled tires (though the added weight isn't on their suspension); 55 kph top speed limit, and for most vehicles you can't fill unpaired (left or right) wheels. The cured polymer is slightly denser than water. The amount of polymer used per tire is as follows:

  • 30 kg for a 9x20 or a 10.5x15 tire

  • 40 kg for any 11x tire

  • 60 kg for a 12.25x22.5 or a 12.5x20 tire

CONEX containers; they are 1.9 m wide, 2.6 m long, 2.1 m tall, empty weight 0.7 tons, max gross weight 4.8 tons, volume 10.4 cubic meters; note the Project doesn't expect there to be a shortage of ocean cargo containers after the Atomic War. As found when the bunker opens, they are filled with:

  • #1:  tools (see above)

  • #2:  ordnance (see above)

  • #3:  72 cases of institutional toilet paper (96 rolls per case; cases are each 144 liters, 17 kg)

  • #4:  sundries and consumables for the crew quarters of Overland Train control cars:  100 pails of high efficiency powdered laundry detergent (in 20 liter, 24 kg plastic pails; "fresh lemon scent"; this takes up about 1/4 of the CONEX), dish soap, bar hand soap, a few spares of pillow covers and bunk mattress covers, bath towels, trash bags, compactor bags, zip-lock bags, sponges, baking soda, baking powder, salt and pepper, light bulbs, letter-size lined paper, pencils, spiral notebooks, manila envelopes, etc.. Except for the salt and pepper, there is no food in this CONEX.

  • #5:  96 cases of B rations (2880 person-days of food), 8 beverage packs (5,280 individual servings). This should get the team through 1 year without finding food.

  • #6:  18 cylinders of technical oxygen, 12 cylinders of technical acetylene, 18 cylinders of argon/carbon dioxide gas mixture, 54 cylinders of argon gas, 21 spools of electrode wire, 30 copper welding gun tips.

  • #7 and #8:  the many "small" items removed from the externally-stored vehicles and equipment:  hoses, pumps, window glass, dashboards, electrical systems and components, door handles, lug nuts, etc.

  • #9:  equipment for connecting to a sewage system, either from inside the base or elsewhere. A couple of low-flow toilets, shower hardware,  pipe and pipe fittings. The planners didn't want to compromise the bunker's integrity with a connection pre-War.

  • #10:  ductwork, fans, motors, controls, etc. to extend the bunker's ventilation system past the "front door" after the bunker is opened. Again, the planners didn't want the required opening in the bunker structure until post-War
