[3dem] Possible influence of construction

[Bridget Carragher]

Hello 3DEM,
I would also be interested to hear these answers but in addition would like to know what experience people have had building decent temperature and humidity controlled environments and what solutions have been used for chillers. Names of companies who have the chops to do this or consultants who know what needs to be done would be most welcome to everyone in the same situation I expect.
Regards,
Bridget

I would imagine that the construction will have a negative influence on TEM and SEM operations, but can not tell the magnitude of the impact since the construction has not started yet. In particular, one of the TEMs (Tecnai G2 120kV) is closer to the construction site within 100 feet (30m) and does not have electro-magnetic field or vibration cancellation system.
