UFC 4-211-01N
25 October 2004
While the construction of MFs is not covered in this UFC, consider their
interrelated use and connection to the buildings during design.
1-6
ENERGY CONSERVATION. Energy conservation should be a major
consideration in the design of building envelopes, mechanical systems, and electrical
systems for aircraft maintenance facilities. Refer to MIL-HDBK1003/3, Heating,
Ventilating, Air Conditioning, and Dehumidifying Systems. Insulate each building
envelope to provide the minimum heat transmission ("U") factors practical to meet
energy budgets.
1-7
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS. The maintenance facilities should meet
applicable pollution abatement criteria. For applicable discharge criteria, consult
NAVFAC Engineering Innovation and Criteria Office (EICO). Refer to UFC 3-240-02,
Design: Domestic Wastewater Control and UFC 4-832-01N, Design: Industrial and Oily
Wastewater Control.
It is essential that, as part of the preliminary studies, consideration be
given to water conservation and source control, including the possibility of substantial
alteration of the process or plant operation to reduce pollutant loading. The greater the
volume of wastewater to be treated and the greater the amount of contaminant to be
removed or destroyed, the higher the capital, labor, and material costs required. As a
result, it is often economical to eliminate or reduce the quantity of waste at its source
prior to treatment or in place of treatment. Several possible techniques exist including
process change, material recovery, segregation, and water reuse. Sometimes, with
only partial purification, spent water can be reused, once or several times, in the
industrial process. Water unsuitable for direct reuse may be serviceable for a different
purpose, in which quality requirements are less restrictive.
Often, there are a number of alternatives that can achieve the desired
result. Therefore, a major objective of the preliminary studies should be to determine
what combinations of actions are the most cost effective and technically and
operationally feasible.
1-7.1
AFFF Disposal. The disposal of spent aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF)
is dependent upon the water treatment facilities that would treat the effluent from the
discharge site. Depending upon the facility's location, AFFF may require onsite
containment. Verify AFFF containment requirements with the appropriate NAVFAC
environmental engineer.
1-8
FIRE PROTECTION. Fire Protection criteria are in Chapter 4 of this UFC.
1-9
ANTI-TERRORISM / FORCE PROTECTION (ATFP). Incorporate ATFP
issues at the initial phase of the design. Formulate the basis for design on UFC 4-010-
01, DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings. Coordinate all protection
features with the current standards and any additional requirements in place at the time
of the design. Ascertain the exact requirements for protection based on a site-specific
