properly in accordance with EPA regulations. All sources of air contamination
in buildings, such as drainage sumps, cleanouts, traps, grease interceptors,
and industrial waste separators, should be unstopped, cleaned, and prepared
for service. Any repairs necessary should be made in accordance with NAVFAC
MO-114, Building Maintenance, Plumbing, Heating, and Ventilating, Volumes 1-3.

General. Electrical service will be required for guards, security

forces, and maintenance personnel. An evaluation should be made to determine
minimum essential power requirements; distribution service should then be
tailored to only those requirements in order to minimize costs.
The size of the installation and quantity of electrical equipment
installed need to be evaluated to determine whether to remove the equipment to
storage or to disconnect, inspect, preserve, and store the equipment in place.
If the installation is small- to medium-sized and has adequate warehouse space
available, it may be more economical to inspect, remove, preserve, and store
electrical equipment in a central warehouse. Considerations need to be given
to the quantity of equipment, the cost to remove and centrally store, the
availability of warehouse space, and the cost of labor costs.
Inspection and Test. While being preserved for storage,
a)
electrical equipment should be inspected and tested. A record
of these inspections and tests should be kept to indicate the
maintenance required to return the equipment to full service.
b) Miscellaneous Equipment. Test equipment, electronic equipment,
instruments, and gauges should be removed, labeled as to their
exact location, wrapped in water-absorbant paper or plastic,
packed in wooden boxes with shock cushioning, and placed in dry
storage. Time clocks and photoelectric switches or control
devices should be removed, wrapped, and packed in wooden boxes
with shock cushioning.
2.2.5.2
Lighting Systems. In buildings that are to be kept ready for
operation, lamps should be left in place, and all switches should be left
open. If exterior lighting is to be maintained, street and fence lighting
should not be disturbed. In buildings that are to be completely shut down and
that will contain no stored material, fuses should be removed from fuse boxes,
breakers should be left open, and all main switches should be kept open.
Lamps in these buildings should be removed and placed in stock, ready for use
elsewhere. In large buildings or those containing a considerable amount of
stored material, machinery, or other equipment requiring protective storage, a
sufficient number of lamps to provide adequate illumination should be left in
their sockets.
