areas are provided around a supporting AMSA, a concrete roadway
or turning area may be required to provide access for combat vehicles
to the AMSA shop bays. Due to the larger size and heavier
concentration of vehicles, the ECS traffic is very heavy during annual
training periods. Traffic patterns, therefore, should be carefully laid out
to avoid severe internal circulation conflicts at the fuel pumps,
dispatch and washracks. Circulation lanes within the ECS area should
be a minimum of 7.4 (24 ft) wide.
J.2.1.2 Fuel Dispensing Point: When authorized, the fuel point should
be located adjacent to a primary circulation area and in proximity to
the main entrance and other support facilities. The lanes and pump
bases for the diesel and gas pumps should be concrete and should be
drained so that all gas spills and water runoff are collected and
emptied into a grease/oil separator. The separator should also serve
the AMSA workbays and vehicle washrack whenever practicable.
See Chapter 3 for additional environmental design guidance.
J.2.1.3 Indoor Equipment Storage Warehouse: Since the primary
function of this building is bulk storage of equipment, the structure
must be noncombustible and as simple as possible. Pre-engineered
metal buildings are acceptable. The interior layout should be open for
flexibility and provide aisles large enough for material-handling
equipment. Some areas should be designed for bulk and palletized
storage. Depending on the type and the amount of equipment, a
loading dock may be provided at one exit. A small portion of the
building serves as a work area and should be have space conditioning
similar to a supply office. An office for the warehouse man should also
be provided. Information about the types and amount of equipment to
be stored, and the types of material-handling equipment to be
operated within the warehouse will be provided by the Using Service.
