Hello All,

Two inquiries today.

1.  RFI-Soil Density Measurements
We have an inquiry into finding a method of nondestructively determining 
the density of a layer of soil.  In this particular case, the soil is 
3-5' in depth, and the method should be able to measure the density 
through the surface of a layer of asphalt, through the base, and finally 
through a stabilized sub-grade.

2.  Facility Identification-Large Scale Liquid Penetrant Inspections
NASA needs to identify facilities and service providers that can handle 
penetrant testing of large parts.  In particular, of aluminum truss-like 
members which may be up to 17 feet long.  The service provider should 
already have (or stand an excellent chance of attaining) a NASA special 
level penetrant certification.

If anyone has any insight to either/both inquiries, please feel free to 
drop us a line.

Regards,
Chris
