Description of work: Project constructs a steel fabricated three-level platform, approximately 20' x 20', supported by four steel piles in the Thames River at Groton, Connecticut, including a weather and corrosion resistant Data Concentrator Shed (DCS) on the third deck which will support and house equipment for an Underwater Electromagnetic Measurement System (UEMMS), and the construction and connection of two composite submarine cables supporting power and communications from the Range House on the New London side of the river. Both composite cables will be installed together by jet-plow method four-feet into the river bottom and protected by concrete matting. Design and construction of the UEMMS equipment will be by others.
