ventilation stacks Explanation: I think this might apply to your situation. "Two vertical shafts were provided in each shelter for ventilation and rescue. They were located at the far corners of the shelters, and consisted of a number of steel ladders each leading to their own platform (or 'interval' as they are called on the plans) within the shaft, so as to prevent a lethal fall. At ground level, above each shaft, was a "detonation cap" of 14 feet diameter by 3 feet thick concrete, the purpose of which was to stop a bomb falling clean down the shaft, and under the cap was a chamber the size of a shed with the exit to the outside offset from the main shaft for the same reason. Above ground was a square ventilation stack 6 feet 6 inches square and built of brick. Today there are no visible signs left of any of these shafts. Below is a table showing their properties: -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-05-28 16:08:57 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The most profound spaces are those that have been erased. The three 30 foot deep viscose cellars that held 8,000 cubic yards of viscose for aging sit as vast, acre wide chasms on the EPA\'s construction site. Finally, a site that has been physically erased is the 365 ft. Ventilation stack .The stack sucked up the torrid fumes from the spinning and processing areas and released them into the atmosphere. |
