Vehicle Traffic and Personnel Control

To preserve the integrity of the CIGO operation and to avoid disturbance of projects, it is necessary to monitor and control vehicular and personnel traffic. A visitor log where all users will sign in and out is located in a small shelter located on the 500' radius gate (the inner gate). Please assist in the CIGO vehicle traffic and personnel control by signing in and out each time you visit the site.

Vehicles should always be kept at least 200' from any of the magnetic buildings and never driven beyond the Control-GPS building toward the magnetic Absolute, Sensor, Quasi-Absolute or Calibration buildings without permission of the CMO Chief.

  • Maintenance personnel should always notify the CMO Chief and the CIGO Project Manager and get permission before taking vehicles inside the 500' radius gate.
  • Except in emergencies and when prior approval has been received from the CMO Chief and CIGO Project Manager, no more than two passenger size vehicles are permitted inside the 500' radius gate at any one time.

Please, do not take a vehicle beyond the 500' gate when a sign is displayed on the gate indicating magnetic absolute or other special observations are being made.

The CMO staff is authorized access to CMO facilities, instruments and equipment as necessary to make routine and special observations to assure uninterrupted operation of CMO. If one of the other projects is conducting a special test at its designated site that may be affected by the CMO staff entering the CIGO core area, the project investigator should advise the CIGO Project Manager and the CMO Chief, and coordinate the timing of the test with other project investigators so as not to interfere with each other.
