PMRF (Pacific Missile Range Facility) Barking Sands Cable Inspection 1983.

Abstract

The Pacific Missile Range Facility comprises two underwater ranges and an additional underwater detection system. In all, there are some five sets, totalling eleven underwater cables that come ashore on the Facility property along the west coast of Kauai. The near shore portions of these cables are subjected to severe environmental conditions and therefore require frequent inspection, maintenance, repair, and replacement. The Chesapeake Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command was tasked to perform much of the work involved in the upkeep of these near shore cables. The project reported herein involved the inspection of all five sets of cables, determining whether any of the cables had moved or suffered damage as a a result of environmental forces, and stabilizing or protecting those cables as necessary to mitigate future movement and deterioration.
