TLC-2013

Lysimiter ReDesign

• Single shower style drain w/ raised filter/screen
• HardyBacker w/ metal lip/rim?
• Concrete w/ a mold?
• Consider running gopher wire/mesh below perimeter to prevent undermining.

Soil Thermisters

• Replace soil thermisters w/ calibrated units?
  • Is there any way to build in a coupling on the wiring?
  • If not, we should probably install conduit for these runs.

Ground level bunker access

• Install water meter style access ports at north and south walls?
• Install a 4" SLB or LB up on the south wall w/ a 90 facing down.
  • SLB: Service "Service Ell" bodies (SLBs), shorter ells with inlets flush with the access cover, are frequently used where a circuit passes through an exterior wall from outside to inside... from [1]

UpSize conduit to 4" on east platform run

• Re-Do the East side, South run of conduit to 4"
• Possibly the East side North run at the same time.
• Use LB's to deal w/ turns rather than sweep 90's since the turn is too tight for a 4" sweep.

  • Soil Temp
  • Snow Temp
  • Soil Moisture

Network

• 16+port quiet switch
• Wireless

SPN
