DEWLine AUX Site Layout

DEWLINE AUXILIARY SITE LAYOUT
By Clive Beckmann
A basic "module" is 25' wide and 16' long. I'm guessing that the vertical dimension was 10 '. The modules were "trained" together to get whatever length was desired. The Aux site configuration was 25 modules connected together. So 25 x 16 = 400 feet, which is the length of an Aux site train.

Module 1: Originally had something to do with ice processing for potable water, but in later years was mostly storage as I recall.
Modules 2, 3 & 4: Power Production.
Module 5: Electronics Workshop and storage, and Power Mech Office.
Module 6: Transmitter Room
Module 7: Receiver Room
Module 8: Surveillance Room and Communications Center
Module 9: Radar Room
Module 10: Station Offices
Module 11: Firebreak
Module 12: Receiving Room
Module 13: Walk-in reefers/freezers, Incinerator Room
Module14: Kitchen
Module 15: Dining Room
Module 16: Recreation Room/Pool Table/Movies
Module 17: Bar/Library/Music Room and Emergency Radio Room
Module 18: Transient Dorms
Module 19: Firebreak
Module 20: Laundry Room/Photo Darkroom/Potable Water
Module 21: Latrines/Septic Tanks
Modules 22 thru 25: Sleeping Dorms
In the case of all Alaskan sites, the trains were built atop pilings which were driven into the earth. This was to prevent warming of the permafrost.
The radome tower floor was approx 30' above ground level. The radome "bubble" was approx 30' in diameter.
Each Aux site had a Garage and a Warehouse but the placement varied from site to site. I think the determining factor was the nature of the ground and how accomodating it may have been to use slab construction on the Garage. The Warehouses were all on pilings at Alaskan Aux sites.
LIZ-2, POW-M, POW-2 and BAR-M had identical hangars. POW-M did not have a Warehouse. They utilized space in the Hangar and ATB.

BAR-M had three Warehouses and a DLM building. They had 4 module trains, A thru D. Trains A and B were connected by an overhead bridge. The Garage was an extension of A-train. There was a separate structure for parking vehicles known as the "warm up" building. There was also a Recreation Hall and several Robinson Huts.
