Electrical. Electrical system design shall be in accordance with
7.2.6.2
the NAVFAC Electrical Engineering Criteria Manuals and NFPA 70. Requirements
for shed support areas are similar to covered storage requirements.
Electrical power may be required in shed storage areas for power tool
operation involved with crating, packing, or any special operation required by
storage/handling of certain materials and equipment.
Communications. Intercoms, remote call boxes, or telephones shall
7.2.6.3
be evaluated for cost-effectiveness based on the size, location, and layout of
the facility.
Security. Where stored materials or equipment require security due

lighting intensity to meet security requirements of the activity.
Preservation Measures. The semi-open or open nature of sheds
7.2.8
requires attention to preservation measures for materials stored in shed
storage areas. Evaluate design elements of shed layout with regard to sun,
prevailing wind direction, and wind-blown snow or rain.
Direct Exposure. Avoiding direct exposure to the following physical
7.2.8.1
agents is a function of shed design and orientation.
a)
Sun
b)
c)
Wind driven sand
d)
Wind driven snow
7.2.8.2
Corrosive Environment, Humidity, and Temperature Extremes.
Materials and equipment sensitive to these problems require protective coating
treatment and periodic inspection.
Bottled Gas and Drummed POL Storage.
7.3
Layout. Storage of bottled gas and drummed POL may be performed in
7.3.1
sheds either separated from or contiguous with covered storage or flammable or
