Fixing Forces : Remediation + Reuse of the MMR
The Department of Defense’s desire to consolidate and streamline homeland operations has resulted in the reduction of existing land uses and the decommissioning of very large, often urban tracts of lands. The Base Re-alignment Commission (BRAC) has assigned installations with large parcels of lands, multiple military tenants, access to large scale logistic infrastructure and geographic significance to absorb the activities of neighboring facilities. Decades of training and use have left facilities marked for de-commissioning contaminated and prescriptively marked; acres of airfields, depots, ranges and rail yards requiring remediation and resurfacing to provide opportunities for infiltration and occupation by new activities and programmes.

milled? is there a logic behind the pattern? does it has to do with the construction technique? and whats up with the ak-47? jesus!
beautiful.....but, yeah a bit more explanation would be great...i'm intrigued.
nevermind the project, how about a bit more explanation on your +/- rating this season
milled; yes. foam.
logic; the form is the result of the excavation radius of a standard CAT excavator and depth of existing petroleum contamination on the Massachusetts Military Reservation.....in the remediation technique of soil washing.
AK-47; well, no US military arms use AK's. The image represents the re-formed rifle range (currently in operation and used by the weekend warriors known as the US Army Reserve) which has different dune lengths relating to the range of different firearms.
