We're looking at around 100 cubic yards of space. Or perhaps 100 square yards of material. Pages 75 and 76 of ultra-tech may help us with costs to fill that space.

Our options are:
Envirobag
Modular Environmental Cage
Pressure Tent -- in three sizes.

Each of the five options would provide its own point of data. The simplest extrapolation is the cage, of which we require 10. We pay $100k and haul around 2 tons.

I bet the tents give better numbers. And ones that change with TL.

EDIT: if we go with the envirobag being fairly roomy (7 feet long and 3 feet in radius), we get much cheaper. $12k, and 225 lbs if extrapolating volume. 4400$ and 85 lbs if we extrapolate surface area.
