Site Survey of The Naval Station Norfolk Proposed Degaussing Range and Deperming Slips,

Abstract

This report describes the purpose, execution, and findings of the geotechnical and geophysical survey performed in the Entrance Reach and Lambert Bend waterways of Norfolk Harbor. The entrance Reach Channel of Norfolk Harbor has been selected as the site of a future degaussing range to be operated selected as the site for a future degaussing range to be operated by the Naval Station Norfolk Magnetic Silencing Facility (MSF). The purpose of the survey was to provide geotechnical information for the design of the degaussing range and the associated platform. Additionally, a probe of the cable route from the platform location to the shore ranging facility was required. The survey also included a bottom probe of the MSF Deperming Garden which is located on the southwest bank of the Norfolk Harbor Lambert Bend Channel. This information was requested for the purpose of planning the installation of new hardware and cables in the deperming slips. Keywords: Virginia; Deperming; Degaussing; Magnetic fields; Neutralization.
