  1. Expansion Plan for Hydraulics Laboratory Ted Cleveland Civil Engineering

  2. Current Situation • Building is divided into three parts • Pulsed power research bay; secured from rest of building. Alarmed, high ceiling. • Water Resources Center research bay; houses the research flume and support equipment. WRC only partially occupies the bay. Remainder is used by Pulsed Power to store idle machine tools. The sole restroom is also housed in this bay. • Indoor junkyard: This is the largest bay in floor area, currently used to store surplus equipment.

  4. Proposed Situation. • Move PP machine tools to storage in larger storage bay already in use for storage. • WRC/USGS to fabricate cage to store field instruments, a pipe threader, and small machine tools and welder to fabricate components for field and flume research. • Current access corridors for PP to move their forklift to be maintained. • Provide phone line into WRC area. • Provide network service into WRC area.

  6. Cost • The implementation cost is small. • Telecommunications: • Phone line (or piggyback on PP phone line) • Network access (100MBps would be nice) • Cost borne by university (VPR other source?) • Relocation of machine tools: • PP has forklift and could relocate or surplus the machine tools to another location in the building. • Relocation could occur during one of their idle periods while experiments are being designed. • The tools are not used.

  7. Cost • The implementation cost is small. • Cage fabrication • Materials to be borne by WRC/USGS by separate agreement. • Fabrication by student researchers under supervision of WRC (Cleveland) and USGS (Asquith). • Electrical • Upgrade as needed by contract to electricians who wired the flume system. Cost to be borne current project funds.
