CHAPTER 2
CIVIL DESIGN
2-1
GENERAL. When
siting the hangar, place emphasis on
operation,
function, energy efficiency and safety. Other factors to consider include
topography, vegetative cover, existing construction, weather elements, wind
direction, soil conditions, flood hazards, natural and man-made obstructions,
adjacent land use, availability of usable airspace, accessibility of utilities and
future expansion capability. Vehicular parking, pedestrian access and traffic flow
must also be given careful consideration.
2-2
ANTI-TERRORISM/FORCE PROTECTION. Use standoff criteria
in UFC 4-010-01.
2-3
HANGAR SAFETY CLEARANCE. Orient hangar such that it is in
compliance with all runway safety zone and imaginary surface criteria of
NAVFAC P-80.3 and UFC 3-260-01, Airfield and Heliport Planning and Design.
2-4
APPEARANCE. Locate HVAC equipment, meters, poles,
transformers, vaults, pressure reducing station piping and valving, and other
utility items so that they do not detract from the building's appearance. Design
should also reduce the negative visual impact of utility items and communication
lines.
2-5
RESTRICTIONS. Land use restrictions dealing with runway
clearances, helipad planning, aircraft noise, and use of airspace are to be applied
to the site location with MIL-HDBK-1190, Facility Planning and Design Guide.
2-5.1
Construction In Floodplains Or On Wetlands. The construction
of facilities in floodplains and wetlands is not recommended but is permitted
provided the provisions of MIL-HDBK-1190, Facility Planning and Design Guide;
DOD Directive 4165.61, Intergovernmental Coordination of DoD Federal
Development Programs and Activities; Executive Order 12372,
Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs; Executive Order 11988,
Floodplains; Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands; 43 FR 6030,
Floodplain Management Guidelines; Title 44, CRF 59-79, National Flood
insurance Programs;
Executive Order 11514, Protection and Enhancement of
Environmental Quality; Public Law 91-190, National Environmental Policy Act of
1969; and State Law are all met. Coordinate all similar requirements as directed
by the authority having jurisdiction.
2-6
ENERGY CONCERNS. Consider the effect of local sun angles and
wind conditions on the hangar.
2-7
WINDS. In harsh climates, seacoasts and areas of consistently
high or changing winds, design hangar entry points (hangar bay, personnel
