Site Identification of the GPS Monument Site Name : Albert Head Four Character ID : ALBH Monument Inscription : 927000 IERS DOMES Number : 40129M003 CDP Number : Date Installed : 04-MAY-1992 Geologic Characteristic : BEDROCK Bedrock Type : IGNEOUS/METAMORPHIC Bedrock Condition : WEATHERED Fracture Spacing : over 200 cm Notes : Additional Information : This station is part of the Western Canada : Deformation Array (WCDA) as well as the : Canadian Active Control System (CACS). : The following information is current as of : 03-DEC-97: : ******************************************** : The GPS reference mark consists of a brass : plate with a forced centred stainless steel : bolt. The brass plate is embedded on top of : a 3.0 metre high concrete pier, 60 cm in : diameter. The concrete pier is anchored to : exposed bedroc using steel re-enforcement : bars to a depth of 0.6 m. The antenna is : attached to the brass forced centred plate : via a 10 cm high anodize aluminum base. : This base provides a constant height : above the brass plate and also permits : the antenna to be referenced to north. The : antenna and choke ring asembly are protected : by an acrylic dome. The dome was installed : using an aluminum flange ring attached to : the choke ring. The flange ring extends the : radius of the ground plane by 2.5 cm. 2. Site Location Information City or Town : Victoria State or Province : B.C.
