MIL-HDBK-1028/3
Section 1:
INTRODUCTION
Scope. This handbook presents criteria for ammunition,
1.1
explosives, and toxins maintenance facilities at naval shore activities.
Special requirements for the individual project must be obtained from Naval
Facilities Engineering Command Headquarters (NAVFACENGCOM HQ) or the
cognizant management command or bureau.
Cancellation. This handbook cancels and supersedes NAVFAC
1.2
DM-28.03, November 1981, and NAVFAC DD-1291743, Air/Underwater WeaponsShop.
Refer to Facility Plate Sheets in Appendix A.
1.3
General Structural Requirements. The structural design shall be
in accord with NAVFAC P-355, Structural Engineering - Seismic Desire for
Buildings ., NAVFAC DM-2 Series, Structural Engineering, and NAVFAC P-397,
Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions.
Energy Conservation. Energy conservation shall be a major
1.4
consideration in the design of building envelopes, mechanical systems, and
electrical systems for maintenance facilities for ammunition, explosives, and
toxins (refer to NAVFAC DM-3.03, Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and
Dehumidifying Systems, and NAVFACINST 4101.1, Energy Budgets for New
Facilities). Each building envelope shall be insulated to provide the
minimum heat transmission ("U") factors practical to meet Energy Budgets and
to comply with the requirements of MIL-HDBK-1190, Facility Planning and
Desire Guide.
1.5
Building Protection. The building structure of all maintenance
facilities, including corners, doors, structural members, etc. , shall be
protected from damage by vehicles and moving loads by the installation of
concrete filled pipe guards, bumpers, railings, corner guards, and similar
protective features.
Loading Dock Ramp Protection. Each facility requiring a loading
1.6
dock ramp shall be provided side edge protection in accord with Section
191O.23c, Occupational Safety and Health Act Standards Manual.
1.7
Fire Protection. Fire protection for all maintenance facilities
for ammunition, explosives, and toxins shall be provided in accord with
requirements in para. 3.2, NAVSEA OP-5, Volume 1, Ammunition and Explosives
Ashore, and MIL-HDBK-1008, Fire Protection for Facilities Engineering Design
and Construction.
1.8
Radio Frequency Interference Protection. Where Electro-Explosive
Devices (EED) are handled, tested, and installed, consideration should be
given to specifying a Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) shielded room that
provides decibel attenuation to reduce the field intensities to a NON-HERO
unsafe ordnance level. For further details regarding RFI hazards, refer to
NAVSEA OP-3565, Electromagentic Radiation Hazards (Hazards to Ordnance), and
NAVAIR TM 16-1-529, Technical Manual.
Security. Maintenance facilities for ammunition, explosives, and
1.9
toxins shall be located so that physical security can be provided in accord
