Case in Point #2
The Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota seeks to advance the understanding of our universe by providing laboratory space deep underground where highly sensitive physics experiments can be shielded from cosmic radiation. The challenges included:
- Thermal control to protect expensive research equipment
- Dust and particulate-free environment to minimize the possibility of contamination.
- The transfer of building supplies to the installation site, 4,850 feet below the earth.
Case in Point #3
