This is the satellite image of Seaside with the model layout.
Jennifer and Brittany are plotting the Necanicum River in Seaside. Using a satellite image, they were able to pick coordinates to plot on the basin floor.
Using the same coordinate system as the river, we also plotted the streets in the downtown Seaside. After taping the edges, we applied several layers of black enamel paint to the streets.In order to secure the houses to the concrete, pilot holes were drilled. Then, anchors were set into the drilled holes. The houses were places over the holes and bolted down.
The yellow blocks represent houses. There are about 125 of these idealized homes that will be places in our physical model. The concrete blocks represent idealized commercial structures like restaurants and shops. There will be 75 pavers. The blue boxes represent large custom commercial buildings such as hotels and parking structures. There will be 13 of these placed in the basin. These are of special interest to our research.
