MIL-HDBK-1027/4A
f) Establish Unifying Elements.
Use planting as a means to unify
different elements of an installation.
4.2.3.3
Landscape Lighting. The creative use of lighting can greatly
improve the visual character of a project landscape, while providing the
nighttime functions of safety, security and path finding. In addition to
simply achieving a higher level of illumination, the lighting levels, color,
patterns and style should be energy efficient, attractive and functional in a
coordinated landscape scheme.
4.2.3.4
Exterior Signs.
Conform to requirements of the BEAP.
4.2.3.5
Utilities. Grouping in corridors, underground placement, and
screening and grading can de-emphasize the impact of utilities on a site.
Flow tests must be conducted to determine the available water supply for fire
protection. Indicate a static pressure and a residual pressure at a certain
flow.
4.2.3.6
Site Furnishings. In conjunction with the site and landscape
design, provide appropriate signs; structures; outdoor furniture and
equipment, such as tables and seating; vending machine shelters; telephone
booths; screen wall and fences; as well as the more symbolic elements, such
as flag poles, memorials and military equipment displays. Definitive design
and other data for flagstaffs are available in MIL-HDBK-1034. The lack of
coordination, as well as concern for detail, are the primary problems related
to site furnishings. Select site furniture that is simple, requiring low
maintenance, and relating in color, texture and form to the building design
and established base character and BEAP guidelines.
4.2.3.7
Equipment Screens and Walls. Screens and walls for mechanical and
electrical equipment are encouraged for aesthetic purposes, but can severely
penalize equipment performance. Carefully coordinate design with each
engineering discipline. Shade for mechanical equipment is desirable;
however, leaves may clog equipment.
4.2.3.8
Selection of Plant Material. Select plant materials on the basis
of hardiness and degree of maintenance required. Avoid plants which require
more frequent attention than the users can provide to stay in a healthy
condition or have an attractive appearance.
4.2.4
Civil.
NAVFAC Criteria Manual Series on civil engineering
(MIL-HDBK-1005 series) provides general guidance for civil engineering, site
work and other related topics. Refer to MIL-HDBK-1008C for location and
spacing of fire hydrants. Provide surface bearing capacity for heavy
equipment or trucks outside the high bay doors. Edges more than 1 inch in
height cannot be negotiated by forklifts. Provide clear path for delivery
and removal of equipment from access roads to loading dock.
Account for all
vehicles engaged in device removal or installation. A low boy tractor
trailer rig and crane riggings will likely be required for initial delivery
of the hypobaric chamber. Allow for heavy equipment impact along the course
of delivery to the access point for the hypobaric chamber room. Consult
NAWCTSD code 412 for guidance on equipment delivery.
