## Description

This MCP server provides engineering calculations for Artificial Ground Freezing (AGF) used in excavation stabilization. It allows AI agents to determine the necessary freeze pipe layout using `calculate_pipe_layout`, predict the time required to form an ice wall with `estimate_freezing_duration`, determine coolant requirements via `calculate_brine_properties`, and estimate electrical needs with `estimate_power_requirement`.

## Tools

### calculate_brine_properties
Determines the required temperature of the coolant to achieve the target ground temperature

### calculate_pipe_layout
Determines the number and arrangement of freeze pipes needed to surround the excavation

### estimate_freezing_duration
Predicts how many days it will take to establish a continuous ice wall

### estimate_power_requirement
Calculates the electrical power needed to drive the freezing process

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How many freeze pipes do I need for a 20m by 10m excavation with 2m spacing?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a 20m x 10m excavation with 2m spacing, you will need 30 freeze pipes to form a continuous perimeter.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will it take to freeze a sand excavation if the target temperature is -10°C?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on the sand soil type and a target temperature of -10°C, the estimated freezing duration is 25 days.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the required brine temperature for a target ground temperature of -5°C in clay?
```

**Response:** 
```
To achieve a target ground temperature of -5°C in clay, the required brine temperature is -15°C.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions
