Mission

The primary mission of the 167th Airlift Wing is “to provide a quality force to accomplish airlift, aerial delivery and mobility missions in support of the nation, and respond to the needs of the State of West

Virginia and its communities.” The unit’s vision is to remain a world-class organization responding to the challenges of the 21st century.

The C-5 Galaxy Transport Aircraft will become the primary vehicle used to support the mission. The C-5 is one of the largest aircraft in the world. It has the ability to transport nearly all of the Army’s combat equipment, including such bulky items as the 74 ton mobile scissors bridge from the US to any theater of combat on the globe.

Wing History

The 167th Airlift Wing was initially constituted as the 369th Fighter Squadron on 20 December 1942, formally activated on 15 January 1943, and assigned to the 359th Fighter Group from 15 January 1943 to 10 November 1945. Assignments included:

Westover Field, Massachusetts on 15 January 1943, Grenier Field, New Hampshire on 6 April 1943, Republic Field, New York on 26 May 1943, Westover

Field, MA from 24 August 1943 until 2 October

1943, East Wretham, England from 18 October 1943 until 4 November 1945 and Camp Kilmer, New

Jersey on 9-10 November 1945. The Aircraft fl own during World War II was the P-47 Thunderbold

(1943-1944) and the P-51 Mustang (1944-1945).

The 369th took part in the Air Offensive, Europe;

Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland; Ardennes-

Alsace; Central Europe Air Combat, EAME Theater.

The squadron was deactivated on 10 November 1945, redesignated the 167th Fighter Squadron and allotted to the Air National Guard (ANG) on 24 May 1946.

The Air National Guard designated the State of West

Virginia as the resident state for the fi ghter squadron.

On 24 May 1946, Charleston’s Kanawha Airport became the home base for the renamed 167th Fighter

Squadron. The unit reactivated on 5 January 1947 and was federally recognized effective 7 March 1947.

The name, mission, size and even the site changed over the next 40 years, but the numbers “167” have remained constant with the West Virginia Air

National Guard.

On 21 September 1955 Martinsburg became the new home to the 167th Fighter Interceptor Squadron and

Lt. Col. Joseph T. Crane, Jr. became the Commander.

The offi cial move from Charleston came on 3

December 1955, when the 167th deactivated and reactivated on 4 December at Martinsburg. Shortly thereafter, equipment moved to the new site and active recruiting commenced to achieve full authorized personnel strength. The aircraft assigned included the P-51 Mustang, T-6 Trainer, and a C-47

Skytrain.

Initially, the base at the Eastern West Virginia

Regional Airport had only one hangar, a motor pool, and a supply building. Many major additions have since been made to the base, including a fi re hall, base operations building, nose dock, civil engineering building, corrosion control/fuel cell facility, engine shop, aerospace ground equipment shop, barracks, clinic, avionics shop and aerial port building.

June 1, 1992, saw the unit’s name change again. This time, the 167th Tactical Airlift Group became the

167th Airlift Group. Reorganization placed the unit in the Air Mobility Command.

In 1995, the unit began conversion training for the C-

130H-3 in the fi rst quarter and transferred most of the

“E” models to Peoria, Illinois. The Civil Engineers deployed to Panama and the Medical Squadron deployed to Honduras. Most of the sections took part in a deployment to Alpena, Michigan in September where chemical exercises and other special training took place. The unit celebrated its 40th anniversary on 10 June 1995 with an open house and dance.

The 167th Airlift Group was redesignated the 167th

Airlift Wing on 1 October 1995. Then on 16 April

1997, the 167th Airlift Wing was assigned under the

Air Mobility Command (AMC), with no change in mission or assignment.

The unit currently has C-130H-3 aircraft. On 9

April 2002, the converstion of the base to XPAA

C-5 aircraft was announced by Senator Byrd. The unit is ready to help defend our nation and aid the surrounding community at a moment’s notice.

History of Design Excellence

The Air National Guard (ANG) has been a leader in the development of Design Standards for its facilities for many years. The ANG has recognized the direct connection between quality facilities and the surrounding environment on mission critical elements including recruitment, retention, and readiness.

Beyond the parallel between the built environment and these issues, the ANG also sees design as a process, and has instituted policies and procedures that bring excellence and uniformity to this process as well as the end product.

The ANG initiated a focus on design well over 20 years ago, with the active participation of ANG projects in the Air Force Design awards program. The quality of the product has resulted in a consistently high percentage of design awards being garnered by the ANG. However, the ANG came to see that Design

Excellence needed to encompass far more than award plaques based largely on facilities that were deemed aesthetically pleasing or innovative. Accordingly, the

ANG determined that truly excellent design needed to meet multiple standards. As a result, the ANG broadened its view of Design, and determined that comprehensive design excellence must include:

• Focus on maintenance and durability. This translates into the selection and use of durable materials, reliable engineering systems, and maximizing standardization.

AIR NATIONAL GUARD DESIGN GUIDE

LPDA

DMJMH+N 1.2

• Suitability of the design for the current or future mission. This translates into providing a design with the maximum fl exibility for future change.

Design elements that should address this include open offi ce plans, suffi cient “land banking” adjacent to facilities to allow for expansions, and multi-phase design concepts.

• Conformance to federal standards which include force protection and sustainable design principals. Force Protection compliance should not be an option. Designs of new facilities should provide for the maximum protection of

ANG personnel and assets. In similar fashion, utilization of sustainable design concepts provides for energy effi cient facilities as well as environmentally responsible usage of recycled materials.

• Compatibility of a given facility with the larger whole of the base or surrounding environment.

Good design must be responsive to the surrounding base environment both functionally and aesthetically. A given facility must be seen as part of the larger base, and its role in the overall base functions and mission support must be fully understood and addressed. In addition, good design requires a comprehensive look and feel for facilities individually as well as the overall composition of the base. Accordingly, good design should harmonize with the surrounding environment, and not be a stand alone architectural statement.

• Use and selection of materials appropriate to the region. In addition to using durable, maintenance-free materials, these materials should be responsive to what is readily available in the geographic region of the project. In this case, West Virginia products should be considered wherever feasible.

• A facility that meets the stated program, budget and schedule goals established at the onset of the project. The process is as important as the product, and part of the process is the establishment of agreed upon schedules and budgets. A building which meets all aesthetic, functional, and maintenance criteria, but which fails to meet schedule and budget criteria should not be considered for design excellence.

This award winning Fire Training Station for the Tennessee ANG uses a combination of durable low maintenance exterior materials such as metal panel systems and brick masonry.

This Civil Engineering Building for the Maine Air National Guard utilizes clerestory lighting to maximize natural light to the interior spaces of the facility.

The Design standards developed for the new Illinois Air National Guard base located at Scott Air Force Base provided guidance in terms of materials, massing, and an overall architectural theme resulting in a unifi ed cohesive campus.

January 2003 1.3

The history of this evolution of Design Excellence began with the new base design for the 161st RW at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in

1995. At the onset of this project, the ANG saw the need to establish design standards for programs including base conversions, base relocations, and comprehensive base renovations. This was especially important as up to 15 different fi rms would be producing the site, infrastructure and facility designs.

This initial Design Standard document established broad based design parameters, but the ANG also learned that design standards for the ANG needed higher specifi city as well as more categories to achieve its goals.

In order to address these additional requirements, the Design Standards developed for the next new

ANG base at Scott Air Force Base expanded the depth and scope of the design standards. In addition to traditional design aesthetics, the Scott Standards focused on systems and components, site design, durable materials, and design standards for typical building “types” that occur at an ANG base.

Following the award-winning Scott AFB effort, the

Design Standards were further enhanced as part of the Reno, Nevada Projects. In this edition of the

Design Standards, front to back outline specifi cations standards were added to address minimum standards for building components and engineering systems. Elements such as sustainable design, force protection, interiors, and data communications were incorporated. Design standards for the site infrastructure systems were also addressed.

In the Reno Design Standards, more attention was given to the design process as well. The intent of the design process was to address ways that multiple A/E fi rms could collaborate and unify their design and technical documents. This section addressed means of inter-fi rm communication, use of uniform graphic standards as well as uniform specifi cations and technical document formats.

The national design standard has evolved through several major undertakings including the Chicago relocation, the Phoenix relocation, and the Reno comprehensive renovation to ensure consistent design excellence. The key elements of all Design Standards to date are included in Tab D of the Air National

Guard Project book.

The history of the evolution of Design Standards, and the comprehensive defi nition the ANG applies to “Design Excellence” underscores the ANG commitment to continually challenge its personnel and design consultants to raise the standards for all aspects of its real property. As a result, the ANG enjoys a reputation of producing facilities that stand the test of time, and provide maximum value to ANG personnel worldwide.

Brick, precast, metal roofs, and a strong entry element/building spine give the Ohio Air National Guard Squadron Operations a distinctive appearance.

Use of durable, practical materials on building interiors insure a quality appearance with minimal maintenance.

AIR NATIONAL GUARD DESIGN GUIDE

DMJMH+N 1.4

Purpose of the Design Guide

The Standards and Guidelines have been specifi cally written to integrate the National Design Standards of the Air National Guard with the project-specifi c requirements of the WVANG Martinsburg base. The purpose of this effort is to specifi cally tailor the Air

National Guard Design Guide for all construction required to successfully implement the conversion to

C-5 aircraft for the 167th Airlift Wing, Martinsburg, West Virginia. The ANG Design Guide is an existing document, now in its sixth edition, which is developed for ANG base relocations, expansions and other comprehensive ANG construction projects.

The Guide is intended to provide architectural and engineering teams with clear direction in the areas of building design and technical criteria. The underlying goal is to produce an overall base design that is unifi ed in both the visual image of the facilities, as well as the systems and components of the buildings and infrastructure. This is especially important given the likelihood that multiple architectural and engineering fi rms will undertake projects at the

WVANG. This Guide is intended to unify their collective efforts. To the extent that these fi rms will be working concurrently on different projects, this guide also makes recommendations relative to the design process in order to ensure that the various fi rms are coordinating their efforts.

Standards, by defi nition, seek to impose certain restrictions as well as establish specifi c levels of quality in materials selected. The text indicates these standards by utilizing a “bulleted” format.

Guidelines, utilizing a standard text font, provide a broader discussion of the execution of design with statements of expectation to assist the designers in developing facilities that meet the goals of the

WVANG.

It is not the intent to inhibit the creative process of a given design team, but rather to establish both specifi c direction (Standards) and general direction

(Guidelines). The A/E team is encouraged to advance alternate concepts in those cases where they believe a better design or solution is available. However, this must also be tempered against the overall requirement that the total long-range build-out of the base be unifi ed.

It is the intent of these Standards and Guidelines to set forth a framework that establishes a level of quality and compatibility for the WVANG facilities.

Project Challenges

One of the unique opportunities and challenges of this project is to achieve a level of consistency and coordination throughout all the projects in the relocation, in terms of design and construction of the building systems and components. Providing this consistency and coordination will provide seamless and integrated designs. This is particularly relevant to electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems, which will enable the long-term maintenance of the facility to be streamlined and simplifi ed.

Competency of Selected A/E Firms

Each fi rm selected has promoted itself as knowledgeable and experienced in the design and construction of the facilities required. Therefore, the WVANG expects the fi rm to supplement any omissions found in the Design Guide. The WVANG expects the fi rm to advise them of all discrepancies and omissions, agreeing that some may require no change in design services/fees while some may be signifi cant enough to warrant a change in design services/fees.

AIR NATIONAL GUARD DESIGN GUIDE

DMJMH+N 1.8

HSMM has recently developed a new master plan for the 167th Airlift Wing. The fi nal Master Plan is a stand-alone document, but key elements have been integrated into this Guide. The Master Plan is the baseline document for placement of roads, buildings, and the fl ightline. While it establishes fundamental relationships between these elements, development and alteration is expected as the building designs move forward. It is anticipated that individual parcels for each building will be refi ned in terms of building footprint, entry points, placement of parking, and landscape design. However, unless directed otherwise by the base, the overall site organization concepts relative to building setbacks, vehicular circulation hierarchy, pedestrian zones, and landscape zones should be followed.

Boundaries

The existing site is being increased in area and the main entry relocated. The new entry is accessed from a more public road and will provide a more suitable vehicular interface between the base and the surrounding community.

Circulation Hierarchies

Site circulation falls into three categories- primary, secondary, and pedestrian. Primary site circulation is provided by the main access road to the main gate and then continues as a spine through the existing base. Secondary roadways provide access to the fl ightline as well as around the industrial facilities to the south. Both primary and secondary roadways shall receive sidewalks and landscaping. Refer to the

Site and Landscape Design chapters of this Guide for more details.

Pedestrian paths are planned to connect all buildings, and to provide pedestrian routes that are off of the roadways. These paths generally parallel the roadway system, and provide pedestrian circulation to all portions of the site.

Buildings and Adjacencies

The Master Plan locations for project buildings are based on a combination of operational and image criteria established by the WVANG. Therefore, the general building locations, arrangement of functions, and site adjacencies depicted should be preserved.

Currently, the buildings located closest to the new entry will be the Headquarters, Credit Union and

BX as they are used most by the public. The Credit

Union and BX are located outside the main gate in order to allow unsecured access to these facilities.

The fi nal design of building entries, adjacent plazas, and other outdoor pedestrian areas should be coordinated with the building’s functional design as well as the overall Master Plan pedestrian circulation routes.

DMJMH+N 2.2

Design Constraints

The Master Plan is in conformance with all known design constraints. Those constraints include Force

Protection issues, which have been identifi ed in the new Master Plan. These constraints must be adhered to as the individual building designs are carried forward.

Topographical constraints on the proposed site include sharp elevation changes between the airfi eld and the site entry. In some cases, it may be necessary to design buildings that are integrated into the slope.

Other constraints will likely emerge in working sessions with the building users. Additional constraints may include the following:

• Potential fl ight guidance systems interference problems associated with building surfaces parallel to the runway.

• 15240 mm (50’-0”) minimum separation between buildings and future facilities or additions.

• Proximity/dispersion of parking to facilities.

• Walking distances from peripheral facilities to the central dining/headquarters facility.

DMJMH+N 2.4

Codes and Local Authorities

The design team shall adhere the following applicable codes and regulations in design of the WVANG facilities. Detailed code listings are provided in

Division I of the Outline Specifi cations chapter of the

Design Guide.

• Primary Codes include the current edition of

BOCA, Standard Plumbing Code (with local amendments), National Electrical Code, Standard

Gas Code, Standard Mechanical Code, and FAA design criteria.

• The A/E fi rms shall follow the Air National

Guard Tabs D & E and the ANG and Air Force

Engineering Technical Letters (ETLs.) In those cases where Tabs D & E and the ETLs confl ict with other codes, Tabs D & E and the ETLs shall govern.

• ANGETL 00-1 ANG Force Protection Planning and Design Standards references the July 2002 edition of the UFC 4-010-01 DoD Minimum

Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings. In addition, Air Force Manual 32-1071 on Security

Engineering shall be followed.

• Utility services shall conform to and coordinate with the standards of the local utility company.

Security: Force Protection It is a requirement that all Air National Guard

Installations be evaluated for security by applying the Force Protection Guide Standards, authored by the U.S. Air Force. These standards evaluate a given base against a threat assessment, which is determined by the individual base. The base is then evaluated against three categories:

• Comprehensive Planning

• Facility Site Design

• Building Systems

Comprehensive Planning deals with site selection and site organization, which is addressed in the Master

Plan. Facility Site Design addresses individual buildings, building orientation, roadways, landscape and utilities. Building Systems expands upon individual building design criteria, and includes building envelopes, building form, doorways, roofs, and mechanical, electrical, and structural systems.

The A/E teams shall become fully aware of the requirements outlined in the most recent Force

Protection Guidelines and shall integrate them into the design process. In addition, the A/E’s will need to work with the WVANG to prioritize requirements within the Force Protection Guide that are not fully in agreement with other portions of the Force Protection

Guide or with this Guide.

Sustainable Design

This project shall follow the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers requirements for Sustainable Design

(ETL 1110-3-491 “Sustainable Design for Military

Facilities”) and the CABO Model Energy Code (1992 ed.). In addition, it is encouraged that buildings meet

LEED certifi cation standards. Key sustainable issues are described in the following:

Implementation

• Introduce sustainable strategies into the design process early. Incorporate and clearly state target requirements in the project construction documents.

• Use life cycle cost analysis in the development process.

• Incorporate fl exible design to reduce the waste generated from future remodeling.

• Provide consumer operating and maintenance information for best performance in this project through careful planning, specifi cation, metering, job site management, and lab supervision.

Resource Effi ciency

• Minimize the amount of energy required during construction and operation by using resource effi cient construction techniques, building systems (including HVAC, electrical, water, lighting, heat-pumps and boilers), insulation, fi xtures, appliances, and controls.

• Optimize building performance and system control strategies (e.g. use occupancy sensors and air quality alarms).

• Comply with requirements for roof and wall insulation values, as well as shading coeffi cients for glazing in a building insulation assessment, according to the CABO Model Energy Code or

TAB D, whichever is more stringent.

• Employ solar and other renewable energy sources where feasible.

• Conserve water with systems that reduce consumption and recycle water through reclamation and treatment systems.

• Improve water quality when needed; (e.g.

eliminate lead-bearing products in potable water systems)

• Maximize the reduction, reuse, recycling, or composting of waste and scrap materials.

• Minimize waste, spillage, pilferage, spoil and misuse of building materials.

• Establish waste treatment and recycling centers.

Indoor Environmental Quality

• Supply adequate levels of ventilation and outside air.

• Provide a healthy environment by reducing or eliminating the use or release of toxins and pollutants during building construction or operation.

• Use low VOC paints, sealants, adhesives and other materials.

• Reduce indoor levels of Radon gas and formaldehyde emissions by following industry and USEPA guidelines on indoor environmental quality.

• Provide thermal comfort with a maximum degree of personal control over temperature and humidity (see EMCS in Building Systems chapter for more information).

• Control noise through sound absorbing material and equipment isolation.

• Control disturbing odors through contaminant isolation and careful selection of cleaning products.

• Enhance lighting quality by integrating natural and artifi cial lighting.

Transportation

• Install showers for use by bikers and walkers.

• Provide bike parking places at each building.

New Buildings

• Use site planning that maximizes solar energy, utilizes natural light and minimizes storm water runoff.

• The location of rooms within a building should be determined with consideration given to the amount of heat generated by activities or lost because of the room’s location. Spaces which are not occupied a great deal of the time, such as corridors, wall closets, mechanical equipment rooms, laundries and garages, can be kept at lower temperatures, and placed on the north wall of the building where feasible.

• South-facing courtyards can be used to create protected outdoor spaces, giving the site a more favorable microclimate for year-round activities.

• Use the design of the building to act as an effi cient solar collector during cold winter months and as a cooling chamber during periods of hot weather.

• Use planting to assist the building. Every type of tree, shrub and ground cover affects the thermal response of a building.

AIR NATIONAL GUARD DESIGN GUIDE

DMJMH+N 3.2

• The increased use of interior natural light can reduce energy usage. Refl ective surfaces can be used to increase interior light levels.

• Natural ventilation of new buildings will promote passive cooling in the summer. To facilitate the exhaust of warm air, dampered vents should be located at high points in the building. If natural thermal pressure is not enough to produce adequate ventilation, fans can be used to assist. Attic fans will more quickly remove hot air that accumulates during the day.

Buildings may act as large ducts and should be designed with options for through-ventilation to occur by catching breezes from the west-northwest.

• Develop service yard and parking lot layouts to minimize the amount of paved surfaces.

Architectural Teams/Building Design

Though the Guide is intended to provide architectural and engineering design fi rms with specifi c direction on the design of their respective facilities, it is also intended to allow the architects interpretive freedom in the development of their design solutions. This freedom is in potential confl ict with the overall project goal of producing a cohesive architectural design with the standardization of materials, construction techniques, and fi nishes for the entire site and facilities, not just the end products of each architectural/engineering team. This goal is especially important as the distribution of the building projects may be random, and a group of buildings may be designed by different architectural/engineering fi rms.

In order to ensure a cohesive look of the overall facility designs, ANG/CEC Headquarters will have fi nal design approval of the building designs. It is also noted that compliance with the guide may not necessarily ensure approval of the given solution if it is not in harmony with the designs of facilities for the balance of the project. Firms are encouraged to engage the WVANG at the earliest possible phases of development of their design concept. If two or more architectural/engineering fi rms are assigned projects concurrently, they will be required to engage in dialog with each other. This will be especially important if their respective projects are in close proximity to each other.

Project Books

All facilities, site work, and infrastructure components of the project will have Project Books

(Tabs A and B) prepared for the use of the design team. These will likely be prepared by the Base

Civil Engineering offi ce of the WVANG, or by other architectural/engineering fi rms. These documents include detailed programming information for a given facility. They detail space requirements, internal building functional areas and critical functional adjacencies. These books are key documents, as they validate the allowable areas for a given facility according to the government “category code” space allocation system.

Though these documents are extremely useful in terms of raw data, they should not be seen as a substitute for the architect’s normal programming and client familiarization activities. This is especially true of the space adjacency diagrams within the Project Book (Tab A). Though many of these relationships are fi xed and cannot be changed, many others are subject to revision based on specifi c functional requirements and operational procedures. In order for a given design fi rm to fully understand these specifi c user requirements, the design fi rms are required to meet with and observe the individual users’ operations during both the usual daily operation and a typical weekend training exercise. These monthly activities will show the full unit population utilizing existing facilities, and will enable the design fi rms to understand both functional and space requirements in greater detail.

Project books are formed by combining all Tabs: A, B, C, D, E (Design Guide), F, G and other Tabs as referenced. The A/E fi rms shall use this Design Guide

(Tab E), in combination with the others.

Tab A - Space Criteria

Tab B - Site Description

Tab C - Design Objectives & Procedures ANG ETL 94

Tab D - ANG Design Policy ANG ETL 01-1

Tab E - Design Guide

Tab F - Site Parcels

Tab G - As Assigned

The Design Guide (Tab E) provides a level of quality, standardization, and aesthetic standards. In those instances where the Design Guide and the remaining

Tabs are in confl ict, the A/E fi rms should seek clarifi cation from WVANG and the contracting offi cer.

Engineering

The requirement that the architectural component of the project be unifi ed is equally important when considering the engineering element of the total project. As with the architecture, it is required that the various civil, structural, mechanical/fi re protection/ plumbing & electrical consultants or in-house members of the architectural fi rms interface with the Base Civil

Engineering (BCE) offi ce at the beginning of the project. Though guidance is provided in this Design

Guide, these meetings will help to ensure that teams are producing designs that are compatible with base standards. The Outline Specifi cation of the Design

Guide sets the general groundwork to establish this uniformity and standardization. However, as with the architectural design, opportunities exist for interpretation, and it remains a requirement that the various engineering approaches to facilities be consistent and unifi ed. This is especially important in the areas of equipment specifi cation and building systems.

Site Parcels/Match Lines

Each individual project will have a boundary established in the Statement of Work or Contract

Requirements Conference (CRC). For stand-alone projects, the BCE shall provide accurate existing site condition maps indicating current utilities and buildings. In those instances where this information is not available, the scope of survey work for the project will be expanded to include this information.

In addition, the scope of such survey work will extend 6096 mm (20’-0”) minimum beyond the project boundary established in the Statement of

Work or CRC. The purpose of this overlap is to insure adequate coordination with the surrounding site conditions.

In those instances where A/E fi rm is working on a site adjacent to a site being worked on by another A/E fi rm, traditional “match lines” of each respective

A/E’s site shall overlap the adjacent parcel by a minimum of 6096 mm (20’-0). In the case where an A/E is working on a site adjacent to a recently designed and constructed project, the match line of the new work shall extend 6096 mm (20’-0”) into the recently completed adjacent project. The base map for this overlap into the adjacent project shall be the as-built drawings.

Common Specifi cations & Graphics

The A/E fi rms providing services to the WVANG will be required to use the same specifi cations and graphics on their projects. Outline specifi cations and document standards are provided in detail, in

Chapters 13 and 14 of this Guide. These are outline specifi cations only with a focus on quality and systems. Actual common specifi cations and document standards will need to be developed by the A/E fi rms in coordination with the ANG.

AIR NATIONAL GUARD DESIGN GUIDE

DMJMH+N 4.2

Procurement/Standardization

Use of common systems and components will benefi t the WVANG in terms of long-term maintenance costs and consistency of systems and components.

However, use of common design standards and specifi cations does not ensure total consistency from building to building or general contractor to general contractor. In order to bring a higher level of consistency and standardization to the overall project, A/E fi rms shall work with the WVANG in establishing the allowable level of specifi city in the contract drawings and specifi cations. This level of specifi city must be determined by the contracting authorities and the applicable rules and regulations that the procurement process will allow. For example, A/E fi rms should seek guidance as to the policy on substitutions as well as vendor specifi c specifi cations.

Certain key elements on WVANG projects must be provided by a single manufacturer. These items include the following:

• Locks

• EMCS Systems

• Fire Alarm Systems

• Systems Furniture

• IDS / Security Systems

The Base Civil Engineering offi ce will provide acceptable manufacturers for all key components.

Context

Martinsburg- Berkeley County

Berkeley County is the second oldest county in West

Virginia. Created in 1772 from the northern third of

Frederick County Virginia and named for Norbourne

Berkeley, (Baron Boutetort) Colonial Governor of

Virginia from 1768 to 1770.

Martinsburg, the county seat, was founded in 1778, by General Adam Stephen who named it in honor of

Colonel Thomas Bryan Martin, a nephew of Lord

Fairfax. It was incorporated by act of the legislature on March 30, 1868.

Martinsburg is situated along the old Cumberland

Trail which was a major route during the 1700’s and

1800’s to points west and changed hands several times during the Civil War. Harpers Ferry, which is famous for John Brown’s attempted taking of the

Federal Arsenal, lies only minutes from Martinsburg.

There are many Historical Landmarks within a 30 minute driving distance such as Antietam Battle

Field in Sharpsburg, Maryland, Shepherdstown, West Virginia, the testing ground for the steamboat by James Rumsey, and Front Royal, Virginia which is famous for the Blue Ridge Mountains and Skyline

Drive.

New industries locating here, teamed with established industries, indicate that Martinsburg- Berkeley

County area is on the threshold of its greatest era. City of Martinsburg

Environmental Issues

The WVANG site has natural and man- made environmental conditions to be considered. In addition to the standard climatic information provided in the master plan, the A/E teams must design for the site’s specifi c micro climate. Of particular concern are snow loads both in terms of roofi ng construction and the placement of the snow once it falls from the roof. Shading and orientation issues will be important in planning and building design as ice can form to the North for extended periods of time. Rainfall can be very heavy making proper roof drainage and storm water discharge essential.

Man-made environmental concerns include noise generated by the runway and how this will effect the base’s neighbors.

Landscape features include a considerable grade differential. A high point near the new gate slopes considerably to the fl ight line.

Functional Relationships

Master Plan Level

As noted previously, the Master Plan establishes key building adjacencies as well as the primary layout for streets and site infrastructure. These relationships should be considered when fi nalizing the overall site organization. Building footprints and adjacent parking areas are expected to be modifi ed as the designs evolve.

Building Level/Project Books

The individual building project books (Tabs A &

B) will provide A/E fi rms with programming data as well as guidance on key adjacencies within a given building. This will serve as a baseline in the development of conceptual design. This effort should be complemented by the A/E’s meeting with the individual building user groups in order to better understand the basis (and potential fl exibility) of the programmed areas and adjacencies.

Existing Site Preservations

At the present time, the existing site does not contain any known historic, archeological, or other signifi cant items that must be preserved as part of the expansion.

Certain WVANG artifacts such as stationary aircraft, will be preserved and reused. The A/E fi rms should verify with the WVANG if other artifacts exist for reuse such as either lobby exhibits or site design components.

Apron and Runway

Taxiway Setbacks and Height Restrictions

The A/E teams shall be aware of clearances and setbacks that must be maintained in terms of buildings/obstacles in relation to the runway, as well as minimum clearances between aircraft, for taxiways, and aircraft and adjacent buildings.

Additional information is available from the master plan study regarding height limitations and setbacks in the areas adjacent to the WVANG fl ight line. The

A/E teams shall become fully aware of the apron and runway/taxiway setbacks as well as building and obstacle height restrictions as part of the design process. Any deviations from the Master Plan layout in relation to the setbacks and clearances shall be reviewed with WVANG to ensure conformance with both Air Force and Federal Aviation Authority criteria.

Flightline/Apron Access

Entry points for both vehicles and personnel will be required along the secure perimeter fence adjacent to the fl ightline. The fl ightline area should be entirely secure. To the extent possible, the buildings that face the fl ightline should be used to form a large portion of the secure perimeter, with additional fencing running between the buildings.

Fencing adjacent to the fl ightline should not be solid, and sight lines onto and through the secure perimeter to the fl ightline are to be maximized. The A/E fi rms and their civil engineers will need to coordinate with

AIR NATIONAL GUARD DESIGN GUIDE

DMJMH+N 5.2

the individual building users adjacent to the fl ightline to determine the exact quantity and location of access points to the fl ightline (These access points must all be coordinated with MSCAA/FAA requirements.)

This includes access points through the secure perimeter fencing as well as entry points to the fl ightline through the buildings facing the fl ightline.

Environmental Issues

Open Space

Open space that exists on the site is to be fully developed as opposed to being left empty. All undeveloped land is to be graded, developed for drainage, and have natural grass. Development solutions must eliminate Foreign Object Damage

(FOD) and dust migrating to the airfi eld. The overall landscape design must allow for infi ll of open areas.

See the Landscape Design chapter for more detailed requirements of the site’s open spaces.

Stormwater Runoff

As is standard practice in the industry, a Storm Water

Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be required to ensure that all construction activity will conform to the requirements of the Regional Water Quality

Control Board. The SWPPP will incorporate the requirements drawn from both adjacent cities as well as other sources, based on the requirements of the particular project. Mitigations to be implemented shall include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Inlet protection for all inlets draining constructions areas.

• Silt fencing and/or fi ber rolls to prevent sediment from leaving the site in storm runoff.

• Cover stockpiled material and direct storm runoff around stockpiles.

• Designated wash down areas to remove excess soil from equipment prior to leaving the site.

• Stabilized construction entrances.

• Regular sweeping of adjacent streets.

• A monitoring program to ensure that all requirements are implemented.

Silt Fencing

In order to eliminate the environmental impact of base grading and construction projects, silt fencing shall be employed in order to prevent the migration of suspended soil particles into the storm water system.

An economical sediment control fabric fence may be temporarily installed (wood staked) at the perimeter of the project site (or where the base storm water course comes in contact with…
