The Sandia FACT Site provides the equipment and seismically quiet surroundings required for testing infrasound and seismic sensors, instrumentation, and monitoring systems. This site allows for geothermal tools to be tested with a wireline truck to confirm standard operation of communications and power before committing to a geothermal well.
The image depicts the FACT site, in which three mobile offices and a large workshop provide space for light laboratory work, systems assembly, and operations. The site infrastructure includes an underground instrumented vault and numerous boreholes.
