Improvement and Modernization
Buildings. Improve and or modify buildings to conform to modern
10.15.1
requirements for safety. Conform to latest OSHA requirements and regulations.
Boilers. General maintenance of boilers, such as rebricking and
10.15.2
replacing tubes, shall be accomplished as required to bring boilers into
first-class operating condition.
Heating and Ventilation. Enclosed boiler rooms and adjacent
10.15.3
related spaces shall be adequately heated. Automatic thermostatic controls
should be installed. Ventilation systems shall be modified, or provided as
required, for good ventilation. Mechanical supply and exhaust system is
required to provide adequate heated combustion and tempered ventilation air
and to limit the maximum room temperature in the summer to 104 degrees F (40
degrees C) if practicable.

combination gas-oil burners where gas is available, with the gas utilized as
the secondary fuel. In some instances, oil storage and transfer facilities
may be necessary to serve secondary fuel to plants operating on gas or coal.
In selecting an alternate fuel, also consider problems of transportation and
distribution during fuel mobilization. Fans, breeching and stacks shall be
modified as required to suit the alternate fuel as well as the primary fuel.
Fuel Storage. Storage shall be provided as required in para.
10.15.5
5.4.1.3, 5.4.2.1, and 5.4.4. Storage capacity should not be diminished for
back up fuel when dual fuels are used.
