GEO 600 -- The Site (Fall 1997)

The Site: Fall 1997

The mild and dry climate in the Fall made it easy to wrap up the tube with layers of rockwool. This served as a preparation for the heating of the tube in January.

Wrapping the tube

The trench has been uncovered; the curved pieces of corrugated iron lie on the right-hand side. The bales of rockwool have been distributed along the trench. Wrapping the tubes is no easy work. You have to protect yourself against the inhaling of small particles of rockwool. Here you see Jochen disguised up to his nose and eyes.

Michael passes a layer of rockwool down in the trench where Andy (at the back) and Jochen fix it around the tube. A look into the trench: The tube has been partly wrapped up.
