1.4 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.4.1 Project Description

Building 3235 is located at Naval Support Activity Crane at Crane, Indiana.

Building 3235 is a single-story facility comprising approximately 27,000 square feet. The building was originally constructed in the early 1990s.

The building is utilized to test batteries under varying pressure and temperature conditions. The building is divided into Zones, 1, 2, and 3.

Zone 1 consists of office and other related spaces. Zone 2 consists of nondestructive testing labs, storage rooms, and support spaces. Destructive testing occurs in Zone 3. Zone 3 has a total of 10 concrete test cells.

Destructive testing occurs within these cells. These test cells have been designed to withstand sustained pressures ranging from 10 to 30 psig. The test cells are surrounded by occupied “runway areas that are used by personnel as workspace. In Zone 3, site personnel have witnessed gases from battery testing leaking from the supply and exhaust systems. This project replaces the process ventilation systems in Zone 3 to correct these deficiencies, replaces some HVAC systems and chilled water systems for Zones 2 and 3, replaces fire detection and suppression systems for Zones 1, 2 and 3, includes structural modifications to the test cells in Zone 3 to accommodate process ventilation upgrades.

Due to the nature of the previous operations that have been conducted in Zone 3 of Building 3235 for destructive battery testing, the surfaces and air filters could be contaminated with residues. The contractor shall protect their personnel from potential contamination when disturbing any surfaces or filters in Zone 3 of Building 3235. The contractor may want to consider consulting with an industrial hygienist to determine the proper level of protection for personnel. Refer to Section 02 41 00. The government has provided some industrial hygiene monitoring results from past government cleaning operations in cell. They are attached to the end of this Section. The government also has sample data of contaminants extracted from the scrubber liquor filters that are attached to the end of this Section. Zone 1 of the building will be occupied throughout the project. Refer to drawings for phasing requirements.

SHOP OPERATIONS

HM/HW Handling & Cleanup, Handling/Cleanup Multiple Operations Batteries being tested vent inside test cells by either intentional or accidental means. Tests may be high heat (heat tape), crush, puncture resistance, etc. Non-lithium (e.g. silver/zinc, etc.) batteries may be hosed down with water. Cadmium, manganese and cobalt are also in the battery components.

Water from either the cell wash down or from the air scrubber (one of two 2400-gallon acid holding tanks) is treated by manually adding neutralizing agents as needed. The maximum electrolyte volume in any battery unit is typically < 1 liter.

Exposures to aerosols and dusts are limited to clean up operations when deposited material is removed. Acid gases may be released during the venting/failure of battery components. However, the SOP permits entry only after a prescribed wait time, allowing for exhaust ventilation to remove airborne contaminants.

NOTE: Sound level measurements were recorded from the vacuums used to clean the test cells and both are not noise hazardous see page four for details.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGE: New monitoring results for mercury were obtained. See page five for details.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS USED/USAGE RATE:

Battery venting agents include hydrogen chloride (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Neutralizing agents - dry soda ash (sodium carbonate);

estimated up to 10 pounds per treatment, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), or HCl (rarely); <2 quarts per treatment, as needed.

EXISTING PPE & CONTROLS: Remote test monitoring (video, electronic, and temperature) with sealed cell doors. Testing and response Standard Operating Procedure, including a 2 hour minimum lag time prior to test cell entry (overnight if required). Chemical splash-proof goggles, face-shields, rubber gloves and chemical resistant aprons and boots available.
