Five Year Request for East Coast Winch Pool Facility (CY16-20) Year 1

伍兹霍尔海洋研究所请求为东海岸绞车池的运营提供资金。由于这些系统的购买、维护和运输成本很高，对船外设备的投资是一项昂贵的工作。为了不仅确保这些系统可供研究人员工作，而且确保它们得到适当维护，并在专家支持下可供整个科学界使用，NSF创建了东海岸绞盘池。这个吗？游泳池？成立的目的是为科学家提供一个方便的单一联系点，满足他们对船外设备的所有需求，并为他们提供专业知识，为他们的独特要求提供创造性的工程解决方案，同时通过集中设备供科学界使用来降低成本。2009年，NSF将东海岸绞车池的运营分配给了伍兹霍尔海洋研究所。职责范围包括：？船外系统的单点联系？作为绞车使用、维护和工程支持的专业中心？提供便携式绞车系统以支持海洋学研究？为便携式和船上提供张力构件缠绕的专业知识？系统和人员来操作绕线设备？保持绞车、绕线和船外设备处于最佳状态？计划使用设备？提供运输和搬运物流，将设备运送到需要的地方？为现场的系统设置和测试提供专业知识？维护、操作和提供联合国后勤基地长核心系统？维护、操作和提供Jason M10发射和回收系统自该池形成以来的六年时间里，科学家、技术人员和船舶操作员逐渐认识到该池是一个专业知识中心，也是一个跨船系统的来源，在执行现场工作的恶劣条件下，该系统具有他们所期望的可靠性。该提案寻求的资金涵盖五个主要目标：1）为工程分析、绞车维护和绞车培训提供技术专长; 2）维护设备运行所需的零件、用品和工具; 3）通过工程使系统适应特定的科学要求，更新和修改。4）确定科学界的需求，并采购必要的新设备。5）提供时间表，动员，复员，运输和物流。

A request is made by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to fund the operation of the East Coast Winch Pool. The investment in overboarding equipment is an expensive undertaking due to the high cost of purchase, maintenance and shipping of these systems. In an effort to not only ensure that these systems are available to researchers for their work but to also ensure that that they are properly maintained and available to the entire science community with expert support, NSF created the East Coast Winch Pool. This ?pool? was created to offer scientists a convenient single point of contact for all of their overboarding equipment needs as well as the expertise to provide them with creative engineering solutions for their unique requirements while at the same time reducing cost by pooling equipment for use by the scientific community.In 2009 NSF assigned the operation of the East Coast Winch Pool to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The range of responsibilities included:? Single point of contact for overboarding systems? Act as a center of expertise in winch use, maintenance and engineering support? Provide portable winch systems in support of oceanographic research? Provide expertise in tension member spooling for both portable and shipboard? systems and the personnel to operate spooling equipment? Maintain winches, spooling and overboarding equipment in top condition? Schedule the use of equipment? Provide shipping and handling logistics to get equipment to where it is needed? Provide expertise for system setup and testing in the field? Maintain, operate and provide UNOLS Long Core System? Maintain, operate and provide Jason ROV launch and recovery systemSix years since the formation of the pool, scientists, technicians and ship operatorshave come to recognize the pool as a center of expertise and a source of over-boardingsystems with the reliability they expect in the harsh conditions that performing field workoften presents. This proposal seeks the funds to cover five main objectives.1) Provide technical expertise for engineering analysis, winch maintenance, and winch training.2) Maintain the parts, supplies and tools required to keep equipment operating.3) Adapt systems to specific scientific requirements through engineering, updating and modification.4) Identify the needs of the scientific community and procure the necessary new equipment.5) Provide for the scheduling, mobilization, demobilization, shipping, and logistics of Pool assets.
