FACILITIES FOR USE IN MILITARY
OPERATIONS
APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE; DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED
Damaged or partially collapsed multi-story buildings or structures with damage to more than 10% of the overall building footprint are unsafe to occupy; consult Reachback.
Remove any non-structural debris and loose finishes that are considered a falling hazard. Engage professional engineering personnel to determine appropriate repair measures or to evaluate the potential for removal of damaged or loose structural elements that could pose a falling hazard. To prevent overloading of the structure, locate storage and/or heavy equipment on ground supported floor slabs.
4-4 FIRE PROTECTION
This section includes survey methods and lists of common deficiencies found with regard to fire protection in existing facilities. The information herein is limited to fire protection requirements that affect life safety of occupants, without consideration for mission continuity. Survey the building by conducting a walk-through of each room.
Complete the checklist for Detailed Evaluations that is included in Appendix E.
This document provides guidance related to fire separation of buildings for preventing fire spread between buildings. For requirements for space separation between buildings related to anti-terrorism/force protection, refer to UFC 4-010-01. It is not the intent of this document to supersede UFC 4-010-01.
For definitions of terms used in this section, see Appendix C.
Reachback assistance is required for any modification or additions to any fire protection systems.
4-4.1 Fire Protection Detailed Evaluations.
These requirements are not for use in engineering evaluations.
4-4.1.1 Building Separation.
Perform the following assessments:
• Determine the building separation from any nearby buildings as defined in Appendix C-1.
• If the building is less than 30 ft. (9.1 m.) from adjacent buildings, the following criteria must be met:
Table 4-1 Separation Requirements

4-4.1.2 Building Height.
Perform the following assessments on the building:
• Determine the number of stories of the building as defined in Appendix C- 1.
• Determine the construction type of the building, combustible or non-combustible, as defined in Appendix C-1.
• Determine the existence of vertical openings as defined in Appendix C-1.
Building requirements or restrictions based on Building Height are as follows:
• Buildings of non-combustible construction, or of any construction with a functional automatic sprinkler system throughout, and with no vertical openings connecting more than 2 stories, can be safely occupied up to 3 floors above grade.
• Buildings of combustible construction, without an automatic sprinkler system, or with unprotected vertical openings between more than 2 floors, can be safely occupied up to 2 floors above grade.
• Building basement levels can be safely occupied by occupancies other than billeting, institutional or assembly.
• Sub-basement levels as defined in Appendix C-1 cannot be safely occupied.
4-4.1.3 Occupancy.
Determine the following:
• Confirm the planned occupancy (ies) as defined in Appendix C-3.
Building requirements based on Occupancy type are as follows:
• Dining, medical (non-inpatient), administrative, and/or recreational facilities may be collocated in a single structure.
• Where mixed occupancies as defined in Appendix C-3 exist, the most restrictive life safety requirements (including allowable travel distances, building separation requirements, fire protection requirements, and fire alarm requirements herein) for the occupancies involved are applied.
4-4.1.4 Means of Egress.
Perform the following assessments and calculations regarding Means of Egress:
• Survey all building areas to be occupied and determine the following:
a. Number of exits (as defined in Appendix C-2) per floor,
b. Width of exit doors as defined in the Exit Capacity definition in Appendix C-2,
c. Internal width of exit stairs as defined in the Exit Capacity discussion in Appendix C-2,
d. Longest travel distance per floor as defined in Appendix C-2,
e. Length of any dead end corridors as defined in Appendix C-2,
f. Existence of any large areas (over 2000 sq. ft. (186 sq. m.)) with only one door or path leading to an exit.
g. Measure the area(s) to be used as assembly spaces.
h. Confirm if any assembly occupancies are provided with only one door or exit path leading to an exit from the assembly space.
• Confirm one of the following:
o Each exit remains unlocked in the direction of egress when the area is occupied, OR:
o Any locked doors in an exit path are under the control of the occupants of the room/space, and are provided with panic hardware as defined in Appendix C-2.
• Confirm that exits are not blocked or obstructed by materials, so that access to exits is available.
• Confirm that enclosed exit stairs are not used to store materials.
• Calculate occupant loads based on the parameters given in Appendix C-3.
Measure overall areas of spaces to be occupied.
• Calculate the exit capacity as defined in Appendix C-2 based on the number of exits for a space.
• Compare the calculated exit capacity to the calculated occupant load. It is unsafe to occupy the space if the occupant load is higher than the exit capacity.
• Compare the measured travel distance to the travel distance limits for the occupancy involved from the definitions section in Appendix C-2.
4-4.1.5 Automatic Sprinkler Systems and Fire Suppression Systems.
Automatic sprinkler system is required for billeting occupancy and a fire suppression system is required for kitchen grills/hoods.
Perform the following assessments on the automatic sprinkler systems (if provided):
• Identify any existing sprinkler, standpipe, hose stations, or other fire suppression system in the building.
• A qualified person should confirm that existing water supplies (fire pump, water storage tanks, or public water system) are in service. Fire pumps should be operated by decreasing the sprinkler system pressure or flowing water in the system to determine if the fire pump starts automatically on pressure drop.
• Qualified persons include persons trained specifically within the trades of building engineering or maintenance, or active fire protection systems maintenance or installation. Contact Reachback for assistance before conducting any testing of these systems.
4-4.1.6 Fire Alarm Systems.
Fire alarm systems are required for the following:
a. A building with billeting occupancy (smoke detection is strongly recommended to be included)
b. A building with assembly occupancy.
c. A building with institutional occupancy.
d. A building with business occupancy over 5,000 sq. ft. (465 sq. m.) in a basement, second or third floors.
Perform the following assessments on the fire alarm systems (if provided):
• If building has existing fire alarm notification systems, a person, specifically trained in building engineering or maintenance, or trained in fire alarm system installation or maintenance, should determine if the notification systems are functional by operating the system. Confirm that notification appliances produce audible levels of sound in all areas of the building, or record what portions of the building have fire alarm notification appliances. If speakers are provided, confirm that the language used in the announcement is understood by the planned occupants.
• If a fire detection system is present, determine the extent of the system’s coverage.
Fire alarm systems provided for the purpose of compliance with this document may be battery operated multiple station type smoke alarm systems, interconnected either by wires or wireless type.
4-4.1.7 Hazardous Areas.
Perform the following assessments:
• Identify hazardous areas and equipment as defined in Appendix C-1.
• Existence of hazardous areas or equipment without fixed separation by walls or space separation is not safe, see the section entitled, “Hazardous Areas” for mitigation.
4-4.1.8 Interior Finish.
Perform the following assessments of the building’s interior finishes:
• Determine the interior finish in occupied areas through observations.
• Gypsum wallboard (or sheetrock), unpainted or painted metal, 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) painted or unpainted plywood, concrete block or other stone materials provide acceptable interior finish. Combustible fabrics or textiles, and rigid or sprayed-on plastic foam insulations are not acceptable as interior finishes for occupied areas.
4-4.1.9 Vertical Openings.
Perform the following assessments:
• Identify any vertical openings as defined in Appendix C-1 that exist within occupied floors.
• Vertical openings connecting more than 2 stories is not safe.
4-4.2 Mitigation Measures.
4-4.2.1 Building Separation.
For single story structures, if the fire separation criteria are not met, a mitigating measure to provide protected openings can be provided with HESCO or other similar barriers, free-standing pre-cast concrete type barriers, or sandbag revetments between buildings. If these barriers are at least as tall as the eave of the taller of the two buildings to be separated, separation between the building under consideration can be considered adequate. For taller buildings, it is also acceptable to cover existing glazed openings in exterior walls from the interior side with plywood, metal or gypsum board, or to locate sandbags along the interior side of the wall opening. Open doorways can be protected by providing solid core wood or metal doors with no glazed openings and an automatic closer. Open louvers can be provided with an extended metal cover. If this issue cannot be addressed through these field mitigation measures, obtain Reachback assistance to identify additional options.
4-4.2.2 Building Height.
Limiting occupancy to lower levels and to a single basement promotes more timely and safe relocation of persons. If it is possible to reliably limit occupancy of higher floors through administrative procedures, then it would not be necessary to physically block access to higher floors.
If building height issues cannot be resolved with field modifications given herein, if it is desired to occupy levels higher or lower than those stated herein, or if repairs to vertical openings are planned, use Reachback for technical assistance.
4-4.2.3 Occupancy.
It may be possible to mitigate existing occupancy deficiencies by providing passive or active fire protection systems.
Reachback for technical assistance is necessary for technical solutions to mixed occupancy issues that cannot be addressed by the mitigation measures presented herein.
4-4.2.4 Means of Egress.
If there are not a sufficient number of exits, the exits do not provide sufficient exit capacity, or actual travel distances exceed the travel distance limits provided herein, an exit (or exits as needed) can be added by providing an exterior exit in an exterior wall if practical. If on an upper level floor, an exit door to a fire escape can be built if practical, with Reachback assistance. Fire escapes must be constructed of noncombustible materials and supported by surrounding grade if practical (rather than hung from the building). If security or other constraints do not permit installation of a fixed external fire escape ladder, provide a portable fire escape ladder in each room near an above grade window. Newly provided second exits or escape ladders should be separated by as much distance as practical from the other existing exit within a space. Contact Reachback assistance before beginning any new construction work or modifying existing construction.
Exit paths from spaces must be provided only through spaces of less hazardous occupancies that are under control of the persons egressing, and not subject to locking.
For example, an exit path from one office through another office that is not subject to locking is acceptable. An egress path from an office through a storage room subject to locking, or through a boiler room is not acceptable. A second option for exiting should be provided in this situation, or the office area should not be occupied. It is not safe for Assembly occupancies to be located in areas with only one exit path, and should be relocated if it is not possible to provide a second exit path from the space.
One option for compliance is to only occupy the portion of a space within the allowable travel distance for the occupancy. If functioning sprinkler systems are provided for the occupied areas, contact Reachback if additional travel distance and dead end allowances are needed.
4-4.2.5 Automatic Sprinkler Systems.
For a billeting occupancy, the lack of automatic sprinkler systems in a building is a deficiency. For buildings with planned occupancy for billeting limit the total area of billeting occupancy to less than 7,000 sq. ft. (650 sq. m.) per level, and provide one of the following four options to mitigate this deficiency(a or b or c or d):
a. A fire watch covering all areas of the building.
b. Direct exits from each living unit, or from each open area to the exterior.
c. Solid, contiguous, full height stud or Concrete masonry unit type (CMU) wall partitions subdividing each living unit, and functioning battery operated smoke alarms within each living unit. Smoke alarms must be either wired multiple station, or wireless multiple station type.
d. Limit the number of beds to less than 10 within an occupied building.
For open bays planned for billeting occupancy greater than 7000, sq. ft. (650 sq. m.), contact Reachback support for assistance. Occupancy load, egress and ceiling height must be evaluated in order to determine appropriate mitigating fire protection system, active and/or passive requirements.
For occupancies other than billeting, building automatic sprinkler systems can be mitigating factors for certain other deficiencies. The lack of an automatic sprinkler systems throughout the occupancy or building is not a deficiency for occupancies other than Billeting.
4-4.2.6 Fire Alarm Systems.
Fire alarm systems (notification) are required in certain occupancies as noted in the section entitled, “Fire Alarm Systems” located in Fire Protection Detailed Evaluation paragraphs.
The existence of a complete, functional sprinkler system in all areas of a building, with water flow alarms is sufficient mitigation for a fire detection and alarm system or fire alarm notification system.
A 24 hour fire watch is a mitigating factor for the lack of a fire notification system. A person on duty having a portable horn or sounding device to notify all occupants in case of a fire event is a mitigating factor for an automatic alarm system. If the building is not occupied 24 hours a day, the fire watch is only necessary while the building is occupied.
New equipment installation or repairs beyond simple corrections need to be conducted under the guidance of Reachback assistance. If fire alarm systems are not provided and are needed, or if it is desired to provide a fire alarm system as a mitigating factor or any other reason, contact Reachback support for assistance.
4-4.2.7 Hazardous Areas.
Hazardous areas or hazardous equipment without fixed separation by walls is a deficiency. For hazardous equipment, as defined in Appendix C-1, this issue can be resolved by the existence of, or by providing a fixed suppression system (wet or dry chemical system typically), or providing a separating wall around the equipment area.
Space separation of at least 25 ft. (7.6 m) from occupied buildings is also mitigation for unprotected hazardous equipment.
Existing or planned hazardous areas need segregation and/or fire protection (as discussed herein) if these areas are to remain in service within a building. Relocation of hazardous areas outside the building in a separated area is the preferred option, if possible. It is acceptable to remove hazardous equipment from service by administrative controls if it can be confirmed that the system will remain unused.
The preferred method of mitigating hazardous material or waste storage is removal of the storage to a location outside and separated from occupied buildings by at least 50 ft.
(15.2 m). Any detailed evaluations of ventilation or containment systems, or improvements for these systems needs to be through Reachback assistance.
Installation of new construction enclosure walls, automatic sprinkler system, fire suppression systems, repairs or modifications of existing hazardous equipment to reduce its hazard, needs to be conducted with Reachback for technical assistance. It needs to be confirmed that a new hazard (inadequate ventilation, etc.) is not created by enclosing a hazardous operation.
4-4.2.8 Interior Finish.
In order to provide a thermal/fire barrier, exposed combustible insulation (polystyrene, polyurethane, paper or similar types of insulation), or combustible finishes (cork, plastic or fiberglass panels, cloth or similar finishes) can be covered with ½ inch (12.7 mm) layer of gypsum wallboard, 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) plywood, 22 gage corrugated steel, or removed, if possible. Exposed foam-in-place insulation is considered a highly

CONTRACTOR’S RECOMMENDATION
Contractor’s Recommendations
1. The Firefighting system is totally un-operational; the fire main pumps & jockey pump has not been maintained periodically resulting into failure of the firefighting system for the entire facility.
2. Heavy dust accumulation upon all the equipment & services for long time has made the situation worse calling resulting into corrosion of major firefighting accessories in fire pump room & entire building.
3. The fire water storage tanks are found heavily leaking and poorly maintained and resulting into environmental hazards as well as lack of water availability for the firefighting.
4. As the facility is missile assembly & disassembly, which involves a highest risk of fire hazards, for the safety of the occupants, we recommend for immediate evacuation of the facility until the entire firefighting system is reconditioned, tested & commissioned thoroughly for appropriate operations.
5. We recommend for major overhauling of all the fire main pumps & jockey pump and replacement of all supports, grooved fittings, valves, flow meter, pressure gauges etc.
6. We strongly recommend for the replacement of both the fire water GRP tanks with new tanks as the condition of the existing tanks is poor.
7. Deficiencies shall be mitigated by posting warning notice on the fire pump room as well as the building entrance as “high risk of fire hazards”.

For the Potable Water System:
In fire pump room where the potable water is connected, the KTR's recommendation to rehabilitate the same tapping connection is not allowed as this pipe (clearly painted red) which should exclusively be used for fire suppression system for the facility. If the current base water network is utilizing a common main pipeline for both fire suppression and potable water, the tapping point should be from the water main and not on the fire pump room pipe header. The assessment needs to identify if this condition exists.
The assessment needs to indicate whether there is a potable water supply from the base network or if not there needs to be a trucked in water supply with the following conditions:
That the potable water system needs to have a provision for both trucked in water supply and a provision to receive water from the base water network.
Is there a need for adequate water treatment (i.e. filtration, etc.) to comply with potable water standards?
The KTR needs to establish if a need for disinfection is required for the existing piping network for the facility.
Identify the appropriate location for the potable water system equipment within the facility compound.
Identify in the sketch the location of the potable water network as much as possible and to include where the pipes were originally drawing water from the base water mains.
Determine whether the GRP tank located near the entrance is only for Fire Suppression or does it include the potable water network.
What is the present condition of the potable water line from the fire pump room to the facility
Concur. The tapping for the plumbing line can be taken from the base line (details required, as its details are not present in given set of drawings) without interfering with the fire water line, thru a saddle tee.
There is no potable water supply from base network. The tapping has been given from fire suppression system which is not acceptable. Moreover, as the fire suppression is completely shut down, there is no water flow in the fire and plumbing line. A temporary arrangement with a small tank and small pump has been arranged to feed the plumbing line which shall be filled by external source like water tanker.
Concur.
There is a need for adequate water treatment to comply with potable water standards.
There is a need to establish disinfection for the existing piping network for the facility as the service has been closed for a long time.
The pumps for the potable water system are in appropriate location. The tapping for the plumbing line can be taken from the main line and connected to pumps in fire pump room.
In the asbuilt drawing M PR-1, the water supply to the tank is given by a 2” CPVC pipe.The pipe is going underground and to check the continuation of the line excavation is required to check where the pipe is connected to.Probably only after checking the existing base line, the provision for connection for plumbing line can be determined.Morepver continuation or connection to baseline is not shown in drawing M PR-1 and neither any detail is shown in any of the set of drawings provided.
The GRP tank located near the entrance which has been temporarily arranged is only feeding the potable water network.
There is no water supply in potable water line from the fire pump room to facility, as the fire suppression system is shut down and the tapping taken from it to the plumbing services doesn’t supply water. Hence a temporary arrangement with a small tank and small pump has been arranged to feed the plumbing line which shall be filled by external source like water tanker.
For Sewer System:
The sewage manhole is still usable and does not need to be replaced.
Identify if there is a need to have the existing sewer system leak tested.
Identify in the sketch where the sewer line is located and where the water is flowing.
Clearly tabulate the fixtures and their locations which needs repair/replacements
Concur.
There is no requirement for leak to be tested in existing sewer line as the system seems to be good.
As per As built drawing DS-01, the sewer line from 5 Rooms (Room No. 102,102A, 104,105
& 107) is exiting thru 3 Nos 150 mm dia sleeve to the external sewer line whose continuation is mentioned in drawing SD-DS-06 which is not provided with the set of drawings.

Additional Notes on Plumbing and Mechanical System Issues and Mitigation Actions:
The tapping for the plumbing line can be taken from the main line (Ductile Iron) without interfering with the fire water line, thru a saddle tee.
There is a need for adequate water treatment to comply with potable water standards.
There is a need to establish disinfection for the existing piping network for the facility as the service has been closed for a long time.

4-4.2.9 Vertical Openings.
Vertical openings connecting more than 2 stories is not safe. The measures given in the section entitled, “Building Height” to only occupy two floors above grade level provides sufficient mitigation of a vertical opening issue. If it is desired to occupy levels more than two stories above grade, and a vertical opening exists within the planned space that is more than 2 stories, use Reachback assistance to see if the facility, considered in its entirety, can be occupied as planned.
One field measure that can be taken to resolve a vertical opening issue in buildings higher than two stories is enclosing the open shaft (for example, enclosing one level of a 3-story opening to create a 2-story vertical opening) with gypsum wall board. It should be confirmed that enclosing a shaft used for supplying air will allow the shaft to provide mechanical ventilation, and that this modification may not cause structural issues. Any construction modifications should be completed under the guidance of Reachback assistance.
4-5 PLUMBING AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS.
This section includes assessment and risk mitigation of common deficiencies found with regard to plumbing and mechanical systems in existing facilities. A checklist for use during assessments for Detailed Evaluations is included in Appendix E.
All plumbing and mechanical system evaluations outlined in this section are performed by visual inspection and tests. Refer to TM 3-34.70/MCRP 3-17.7E, Plumbing, Pipe Fitting, and Sewerage, for assistance in these Plumbing and Mechanical inspections.
4-5.1 Features Evaluated.
The following features are to be evaluated by visual inspection and tests.
4-5.1.1 Domestic Water System.
Perform the following assessments on the domestic water system:
• Take samples and test domestic water to verify water is safe to use and safe to drink.
• Visually inspect facility water storage tank (when located on roof or inside the facility) and all exposed domestic water piping and examine condition of ceilings, walls, and floors for signs of domestic water piping leaks.
• Determine if cross connections exist in piping systems.
• Determine and record location of domestic water service and main shutoff valve.
4-5.1.2 Domestic Water Heating Equipment.
Perform the following assessments on the domestic water heating equipment:
• Examine domestic water heating systems to determine if the systems have the following safety features.
o Anti-siphon device, such as a cold water drip tube or a vacuum relief valve installed in the cold water supply line o Electrical disconnect or fuel supply shut off valve o Self-closing pressure relief and temperature valve o Pressure relief valve discharge pipe
• Determine if water is being heated and equipment is functioning properly, and if the hot water equipment consists of pressurized or non-pressurized tanks.
4-5.1.3 Sanitary Drainage and Vent System.
Perform the following assessments on the sanitary drainage and vent system:
• Visually inspect all exposed sanitary drainage and vent piping and examine condition of ceilings, walls, and floors for signs of sanitary system piping leaks.
