MIL-HDBK-1032/2
Employee Service Areas. Size and extent of rest room and locker
7.2.2.2
facilities provided to shed storage personnel depend on the number of
employees required and on the adjacency relationship to the other support
systems. In cold or wet climates, provide a heated warm-up room for shelter.
Other Support Areas. The need for inspection, classification,
7.2.2.3
crating, packing, and repair areas shall be evaluated. If appropriate, these
areas, as well as other support areas, may be provided adjacent to similar
facilities for covered storage.
Storage Areas. Sheds may be divided into multiple storage areas to
7.2.3
provide material segregation or improved security.
Storage Surface. Both improved and semi-improved shed storage
7.2.4
surfaces shall be graded and finished to provide controlled drainage and a
durable storage surface.
Improved. Improved surfaces are impervious and therefore demand
7.2.4.1
careful attention to slope and drainage requirements.
a) Portland Cement Concrete. Concrete surfaces provide the
strongest base of support for heavy materials and shall be reinforced.
Concrete may also be used where heavy traffic volumes are anticipated or where
an impervious surface is required and asphaltic concrete is inappropriate due
to susceptibility to petroleum spills.
b) Asphaltic Concrete. Asphaltic concrete surfaces may be used
where a durable impervious surface is desired, but the strength provided by
portland cement concrete is not required.
Semi-Improved. Unpaved surfaces are not recommended for shed
7.2.4.2
storage functions unless the structure is designated as temporary and
permanent surface improvements are not justified.
Drainage. Provide drainage for the shed and adjacent open areas to
7.2.5
maintain the structural integrity of the storage surfaces and prevent flooding
of the structure during and after inclement weather.
7.2.6
Utilities. Provide water and electric utilities, as required, for
fire protection and lighting purposes.
7.2.6.1
Water, Plumbing, and Sanitary Sewer. Water may be required for
maintenance cleaning of stored material and equipment upon receipt or
shipment, and also for cleaning of storage/handling equipment. In cases where
water used for cleaning may become contaminated with petroleum products, the
water shall be contained and treated as required for wash facilities. For
detailed design criteria, refer to Water Supply Systems, NAVFAC DM-5.07;
Domestic Wastewater Control, NAVFAC DM-5.08; and DOD 4270.1-M.
