MIL-HDBK-1032/2
Grading and Drainage. Check the following:
2.2.3
Groundwater. The designer shall determine variations in groundwater
2.2.3.1
elevation and direction of groundwater flow. These data shall be used by the
designer to evaluate the damage potential of a spill or release
and to assure the design is adequate to prevent spills from contaminating
surface and groundwater. Groundwater monitoring, sufficient to establish
background levels, may be performed by the host installation.
Roof Drainage. Roof drainage shall be provided through underground
2.2.3.2
piping or natural runoff.
Site Grading. Eliminate water pockets onsite through proper site
2.2.3.3
grading.
Determine whether the building can be designed to
Cut and Fill.
2.2.3.4
reduce cut and fill.
Utilities. The source and location of all major utilities (water,
2.2.4
electric, sewage, and steam), both above and below ground, must be known. The
facility site should be selected so as to take advantage of direct access to
needed utilities while preserving the expandability and maintainability of the
utility system.
2.2.5
Security. Use criteria in Physical Security, MIL-HDBK-1013/l, as
guidance to ensure that physical security considerations are included in the
design of Naval shore facilities. Security factors include threat
considerations and delay time and cost relationships to apply for appropriate
and economical physical security at Naval shore facilities.
Storage/handling System Selection. Functional concept planning for
2.3
new facilities or modernization of existing facilities should include review
of concepts presented in the Warehouse Modernization and Layout Planning
Guide, NAVSUP PUB-529. Evaluation of alternative materials handling systems,
selection of handling and storage equipment, design of operations, and layout
of the building shall consider the following:
Design Parameters. The following design parameters shall be
2.3.1
observed when collecting data and analyzing requirements:
Load Size. The standard Navy cargo load size (including pallet) is
2.3.1.1
40 inches x 48 inches x 36 inches high (1020 millimeters [mm] x 1220 mm x
915 mm), or 40 cubic feet (ft3) (1.13 cubic meters [mm3]) which is equal
3
to 1 Measurement Ton (M/T). The average storage load is 0.8 M/Ts (32 ft ,
0.91 mm3) which equates to a pallet size 40 inches x 48 inches x 28.8 inches
(1020 mm x 1220 mm x 730 mm). A 48-inch (1220 mm) vertical pallet rack beam
spacing is provided by the standard pallet rack configuration for this average
height load. Maximum DOD allowances for loaded pallets with overhanging loads
is 43 inches x 52 inches (1090 mm x 1320 mm). Planning should accommodate
such vertical dimensions or be adjusted where loads differ significantly from
the average height. In special cases such as automated storage/retrieval
system racks, it may be necessary to maintain the 40-inch x 48-inch (1020 mm x
1220 mm) dimensions due to equipment restrictions.
