Fab 11 Trivia Highlights Massive Construction Feats
The article notes Fab 11 used about 94 000 cubic yards of concrete enough for a 4 inch thick 5 foot wide sidewalk from Albuquerque to the southeast corner of New Mexico or 70 miles beyond El Paso Texas a 300 mile span. It lists seven thousand tons of steel and roughly 2100 bolts per truss for 91 trusses bound by 190 000 bolts. Bolts would stretch 12 miles end to end. The Fab 11 Phase 2 roof covers 1 576 000 square feet equaling 29 football fields and 31 714 000 cubic feet of volume. Piping runs 230 000 linear feet about 44 miles from Fab 11 to Santa Fe.
