of the Hartford Steam Boilers Inspection and Insurance Company
performed a safety and operational inspection of Boiler No. 2.

undersized for full load operation and recommended that the boiler

h. DCI Tunnel: Construction of the guardhouse for the
DCI Tunnel Entrance was delayed due to the discovery of unsuitable
subsurface conditions. Geotechnical engineers were brought to the
site, but were unable to make a definitive assessment without
testing to determine specific information about the soil
composition. Based on inspection, there was a loose fill material
to a depth of at least six feet. The Facilities Operations Branch
project officer in consultation with Design and Engineering Branch
will determine how to proceed. The solution suggested by the
geotechnical engineer is to excavate to firm ground and provide
compacted fill up to the required level. Design and Engineering
Branch has asked for a written assessment from the engineer so that
a final determination can be made.
