This figure shows the locations of the K2s relative to the VSMs under which they
are located. The pipeline is 48 inches in outside diameter with a wall thickness
of 0.562 inches. Each VSM is designed for a load of 60,000 lbs. (including
the shoe and cross beam). The VSMs at PIPS reach to bedrock at 22 feet deep
respectively. The coefficient of friction between the support beam and the
sliding shoe is 0.1. All dimensions are approximate and in English units.
