Site Identification of the GNSS Monument Site Name : Flin Flon Four Character ID : FLIN Monument Inscription : 965000 IERS DOMES Number : 40135M001 CDP Number : (A4) Monument Description : CONCRETE PIER, 50.8cm DIAMETER Height of the Monument : 1.5m Monument Foundation : INVAR and STEEL RODS Foundation Depth : INVAR ROD: 3m : STEEL RODS: 1m Marker Description : UNAVCO type antenna spike mount on Invar Rod Date Installed : 1996-06-05T00:00Z Geologic Characteristic : BEDROCK Bedrock Type : IGNEOUS/METAMORPHIC Bedrock Condition : WEATHERED Fracture Spacing : 50-200 cm Fault zones nearby : NO Distance/activity : Additional Information : This station is part of the Western Canada : Deformation Array (WCDA) as well as the : Canadian Active Control System (CACS) : ******************************************** : The bottom 1m of the Invar rod is grouted in : in bedrock at a depth of 2-3m. The rod then passes : through a foam sleeve inside a 3.8cm ABS pipe : to the top of the concrete pier. The top of the : Invar rod is laterally stabilized by a bronze plate : set in the top of the concrete pier. : A UNAVCO type antenna spike mount is used to level : and orient the antenna. : Polypropelene fibres are used instead of steel : reinforcement rods; a special superplasiticized : fly ash concrete mix has been used. : The pier construction was designed to minimize effects : of temperature on monument stability, especially : in the vertical. 2.
