Extending the Useful Life of Dye-2 to 1986. Part . 1979 Findings and Final Recommendations
Abstract
A major construction effort is needed at Dew Line Ice Cap Station DYE-2 to extend its useful life to 1986. That work should be done as soon as possible because the truss enclosure is deteriorating rapidly. Although a 210-ft sideways move as was accomplished at DYE-3 in 1977 is technically feasible, the alternative of backfilling the truss enclosure with ice is expected to cost about $2.7 million less. Unless there is a strong possibility that DYE-2 will be needed for many years beyond 1986, the ice backfill alternative is recommended.
