X-Message-Number: 2145 Date: Fri, 23 Apr 93 12:00:25 CDT From: Brian Wowk <> Subject: CRYONICS Concrete Vault I was walking through a concrete underground tunnel today. I could not help but notice the multitude of small cracks in the floor. Yes, cracks. This despite the fact that the tunnel was built *two* years ago, and only supports pedestrian traffic. This really gives one pause for thought about the water damage risks of an underground Cold Room. Accordingly, I think the below ground concept should be abondoned in favor of a reinforced concrete vault beginning at ground level. The "over-room" for patient and refrigeration system access will be on the second floor. --- Brian Wowk Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2145
