MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: PATRIOT Missile Assembly/Disassembly Facility (MADF), Kuwait, settlement evaluation

DATE: 12 August 2022

1. BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT

The observed damage was limited to non-load bearing, brittle elements such as drywall, CMU curtain walls, and floor tiles. No signs of damage or significant movement was observed in the metal building system, foundation, or 400mm concrete wall on the east and west side of the Disassembly Room. The observed damage does not indicate concern of the overall structural integrity of the facility and facility may continue to be used and occupied. However, several repair actions are recommended to mitigate the impacts of differential settlement that was observed.

2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

A structural evaluation of the MADF facility was performed in July 2022. The purpose of the evaluation was to investigate observed cracks in the walls and potential settlement of the floor slab. USACE construction drawings of the facility dated 07-12-04 were used as reference during the site visit and it was assumed the facility had been constructed per these drawings. The USACE drawings contained typical foundation wall information but the specific column pedestals and footings at the steel columns were a design-build item and drawings were not found for these components. Additionally, the pre-engineered metal building drawings could not be located.

3. GENERAL DESCPRITION OF THE BUILDING:

The facility was completed in 2005. It is a one-story pre-engineered metal building with overall dimensions of approximately 65m x 25m. The exterior walls are reinforced CMU, grouted solid, with an air cavity and a brick veneer up to 3 m above the finished floor elevation. The exterior walls are metal panels above 3m. The interior walls of the admin area are reinforced CMU and bear on the slab-on-grade. The slab on grade is 200 mm thick and heavily reinforced at the top and bottom. The exterior walls bear on reinforced concrete foundation walls, which bear on reinforced concrete wall spread footings except at the entry vestibule in the northeast corner of the building. These walls bear on a thickened edge slab. The metal building system columns bear on concrete piers, which bear on reinforced concrete spread footings. These piers and footings were a deferred submittal, design/build item, and detailed information on them was not found. Per the USACE drawings, the wall footings bear at an elevation of 1500 mm

SUBJECT: PATRIOT Missile Assembly/Disassembly Facility (MADF), Kuwait below the finished floor elevation and the column footings are assumed to bear at the same elevation. Per plan notes, all footings were to bear a minimum of 1.5 m below finished grade. The allowable soil bearing capacity listed on the drawings is 0.75

KG/SQ.CM.

The facility and roads have been built on compacted fill. The fill is approximately 2.65m deep on the east side and approximately 1.65m deep on the west side.

4. OBSERVATIONS

a. Cracks were observed in the exterior brick veneer on all sides of the facility.

Cracks were also observed in the exterior CMU walls from the inside of the building. Per the design documents, the exterior CMU and brick veneer walls are supported on concrete foundation walls with footings. The cracks generally occur at building corners, gutter downspouts, wall openings, and column wraps. These cracks typically follow a stair step pattern through the mortar joints. Since the walls are non-load bearing, these cracks do not cause concern of the structural integrity of the building. See Photos 1 through 4 in Appendix 1.

i. The cracks indicate that differential settlement has occurred. As parts of the building foundations settle differently relative to each other, the brick veneer, which is supported on the foundation wall, moves with the foundation causing cracks in the walls. The stair step pattern of cracks through the mortar joints is typical of veneers exposed to differential foundation settlement. The observed cracks in the exterior wall are much smaller than the cracks in the interior CMU that bears on the slab on grade, indicating less settlement has occurred under the exterior wall footings.

b. Cracks were observed in the interior CMU walls, and plaster wall finishes. The cracks are typical throughout all interior CMU walls in the office/administrative side of the building. The interior CMU walls bear on the typical slab-on-grade.

Per USACE design drawings (Appendix 2) there is not a thickened slab under the CMU walls. Since the walls are non-load bearing, these cracks do not cause concern of the structural integrity of the building. See Photos 5 through 7 in Appendix 1.

i. The cracks indicate that differential settlement of the slab has occurred.

The interior CMU walls bear directly on the slab-on-grade and as parts of the slab settle differently relative to other parts, the CMU moves with the slab causing the cracks in the walls.

ii. There are many locations where the plaster has been previously repaired, but the cracks have opened up again, or new cracks have formed. This indicates that the differential settlement has been an ongoing problem in this building.

c. Vertical wall cracks were observed in the exterior walls at the entry vestibule.

The walls around the entry vestibule are supported on a thickened edge slab-on-grade and not foundation walls. Similar to the interior CMU walls, as the slab settles the walls move with it causing the cracks. Since the walls are non-load bearing, these cracks do not cause concern of the structural integrity of the building. See Photo 8 in Appendix 1.

d. Vertical separation between the top of the concrete slabs-on-grade and the top of the exterior foundation walls/piers was observed throughout the facility with the maximum difference present on the north side of the facility where an irrigation system was previously installed. The movement of the slabs-on-grade occurs on both the interior and exterior side of the walls. The tops of slabs were observed to be up to 60mm below the top of foundation walls. The caulking that originally filled the joints between the foundation walls/piers and slabs is now cracked/separated with the most significant vertical separation at the northwest corner of the facility at the paint booth enclosure. Since the slabs are non-structural components, the settlement of these components does not cause concern of the structural integrity of the building. See Photos 9 through 12 in Appendix 1.

i. The separation indicates that the slabs have settled significantly more than the foundation walls.

e. No cracking was observed in the interior or exterior slabs-on-grade. The slabs do have noticeable slopes throughout and have separation at the slab joints in some locations. Since the slabs are non-structural components, the settlement of these components does not cause concern of the structural integrity of the building.

i. The slabs are experiencing a significant amount of differential settlement, which has created the slopes and separation at the joints.

ii. The slabs are heavily reinforced both top and bottom allowing them to span farther and not allowing significant cracks to form.

f. There are cracks in the floor tiles throughout the administrative side of the facility, however, the floor tile cracks appear to align with the slab construction joints. The cracks have been caused by differential settlement of the slabs-on-grade. The brittle floor tiles are not as strong as the heavily reinforced floor slabs and have cracked due to the movement of the slab below. Since the floor tile and slabs below them are non-structural components, the settlement of these components does not cause concern of the structural integrity of the building. See Photo 13 in Appendix 1.

g. No signs of damage or significant movement were observed in the metal building system. However, this does not mean that differential settlement has not occurred within the metal building system. The steel framing is flexible and can adjust with minor movement, so the steel is not as susceptible to damage as brittle finishes such as CMU, brick veneers, and plaster finishes. The metal building system framing is also covered with finishes in many locations and could not be fully observed during the site visit. See Photo 14 in Appendix 1.

h. The walls on the east and west side of the disassembly room are 400mm thick, heavily reinforced concrete walls which bear on footings 1.5m below finished floor. These walls extend approximately 4300mm above finished floor. Above the top of the walls is open to structure. These walls are not braced or otherwise connected to the steel structure. The walls have a painted plaster finish approximately 25mm thick. No cracks were observed in these concrete walls.

A crack in the plaster finish was observed from the Disassembly Room in the corners between the east and west concrete walls of the disassembly room and the south exterior CMU wall at gridline intersections B/3 and near B/5. No cracks were observed from the exterior. The crack increases in width towards the top of the wall. No joint filler was observed in the joint between the two walls. Based on the drawings, both walls bear on foundation, so, the observed crack is likely a superficial finish crack due to typical movement of the exterior wall and is not a concern of the overall structural integrity of the building. See Photos 15 through 18 in Appendix 1.

i. Per the USACE construction drawings, the building and road around the building were constructed on built up land which was likely created by bringing in and compacting significant amounts of fill soils. See Photo 19 in Appendix 1. The east side of the building is on approximately 2.65m of fill while the west side is on 1.65m of fill. Significant erosion of the soil can be observed in the slope down from the road to the original grade. See Photo 20 in Appendix 1.

j. All downspouts end adjacent to the walls which allows the water to pond adjacent to the building foundations which is likely contributing to the settlement issues. See Photo 21 in Appendix 1.

k. The two large water tanks to the West of the MADF building were leaking water at a significant rate. Ponding water with tadpoles was observed around the tanks indicating the leaks and ponding water is not a recent development. See Photo 22 in Appendix 1.

5. CAUSE OF THE ISSUES

The issues observed appear to be caused by differential settlement. The damage from differential settlement occurs throughout the entire building and is not isolated to any area. There is a significant amount of fill soils making up the elevated pad which indicates the fill was not properly compacted.

Water issues also appear to be a major contributor to the settlement. Water penetration below slabs and foundations can exacerbate differential settlement because it erodes the loosely compacted soil and increases the rate of settlement in the area where the water penetration occurs. Because of this, the slabs and foundation near the irrigation lines, water leaks, and gutter downspouts are settling faster relative to other areas around them, creating more differential movement and damage.

6. RECOMMENDATIONS

The observed damage does not indicate concern of the structural integrity of the facility and facility may continue to be used and occupied. However, we do recommend that measures be taken to fix water leaks and prevent water penetration below the slabs and foundations. The following actions should be taken immediately:

• Remove irrigation lines.

• Extend gutter downspouts to ensure they drain away from the building.

• Investigate sanitary sewer line on the north side of the building for leaks. Repair any leaks found.

• Repair leaking hose faucet on the southwest corner of the building.

• Replace sidewalks and ensure they slope away from the building to prevent standing water against the foundation.

• Repair leaks in the large water tanks west of the building.

• Provide water-proofing sealant at all exterior cracks in the brick veneer, and between the exterior slab and foundation wall. This will help prevent moisture from entering the building and causing more damage.

If leveling of the slab is desired, one of the following courses of action (COA) are recommended:

COA 1:

• Use ground penetrating radar (GPR) to survey below slab and identify extent of voids under slab.

o If voids are localized:

Demolish interior damaged CMU walls on administrative side of facility

Fill voids below slab with grout, being careful to not lift the slab with the grout

Scarify top of slab, where required, to maintain a minimum depth for topping concrete

Apply topping concrete to level slab

Rebuild interior walls with either metal studs or CMU o If voids are extensive:

Proceed to COA 2

COA 2:

• Demolish and remove walls supported by slab-on-grade

• Demolish and remove existing slab-on-grade throughout facility

• Carefully remove soil down to top of footing

• Replace soil with proper fill material and properly recompact

• Replace slab

• Rebuild interior walls with either metal studs or CMU

Continue to measure the crack location and widths. Create logs so changes over time can be documented.

The entire facility, including the metal building framing, should be regularly monitored for new damage. While no significant damage to critical structural members have been observed, new damage may occur if the building continues to settle. Any new damage observed in the building structure should be reported immediately to a structural engineer.

SECTION I – OVERVIEW

PURPOSE

This planning guide provides commanders and logistics staff planners at all levels with a comprehensive water sustainment planning tool. Information presented will enable logistics planners to identify requirements, assess capabilities and identify water purification, storage and distribution requirements to support military force projection operations.

SCOPE

This planning guide provides Army force water planning factors. Data in this guide includes gallons/person/day planning factors for both conventional and integrated theaters by Army force echelon/command level and climatic environment.

Discrete population factors are provided for Enemy Prisoner of War (EPW) and civilian internee/refugee operations, Force Provider operations, redeployment vehicle wash rack operations, aircraft and watercraft maintenance and engineer operations.

REFERENCES

This planning guide is a consolidation and integration of information presented in the numerous references, which are listed in Appendix W of the US Army CASCOM Potable Water Planning Data Study Report, 24 July 2008.

ARMY EXECUTIVE AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES

As the land force component of the US Military Services, the US Army has been designated as the Department of Defense (DoD) Executive Agent for water resources management in support of contingency operations. In this role, the Army is responsible for coordination with other services and the Joint Staff to develop joint policy, procedures and requirements for water management resources in support of land based forces. Army Service Component Commanders (ASCC) are responsible to ensure that water support for other services, when required to be provided by the Army, is incorporated into Operational Plans (OPLANS) or preplanned with Inter-Service Support Agreements (ISSA). In general, The Army Service Component (ASC) is responsible for providing backup water support to other US Military Services in an area of operations when requested and/or when water support requirements of the other services exceed their own organic capability.

I-2

Army Water Proponency: Within the Department of the Army, the Deputy Chief of Staff, G4 (DA G4) is designated as the Army Staff proponent for all land based water resource matters. Under the guidance and policies of the DA G4, the US Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) is responsible for validating DoD and Army water consumption planning factors. Within TRADOC, the US Army Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM) is the TRADOC proponent for the development, validation, and maintenance of Army water consumption planning factors. To accomplish this, the CASCOM acquires battlefield functional mission water usage profile data from related studies and the following proponents.

• The US Army Quartermaster Center and School (USAQMC&S) - field feeding, shower, laundry, mortuary affairs, and Force Provider functional mission operations.

• The US Army Maneuver Support Center (MANSCEN) - horizontal and vertical construction, well drilling, topographic functional mission operations, personnel and equipment decontamination functional mission operations, enemy prisoner of war, civilian internee, and displaced civilian and refugee functional mission operations.

• The U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence (USAACE) - aviation maintenance functional mission operations.

• The US Army Medical Department Center and School (USAMEDDCS) - drinking, personal hygiene, heat casualty treatment and level I through level IV medical functional mission operations.

• The US Army Ordnance Center and School (USAOCS) - ground vehicle maintenance functional mission operations.

• The US Army Transportation School (USATS) - ground vehicle and watercraft washing functional mission operations.

WATER CONSERVATION AND SUPPLY DISCIPLINE

Water is a resource that is essential not only for the sustainment of life, but critical to the combat effectiveness of a military force. Commanders at all levels are responsible to ensure that water conservation and supply discipline are continuously exercised by all personnel and that waste is minimized, regardless of water availability. Procedures for water supply discipline must be established and enforced. Adequate water availability and consumption must be maintained to prevent heat casualties. Water inventories must be protected from pilferage, contamination, capture, and damage or loss from

I-3 natural causes. In temperate, tropical or cold theater environments, where raw water is readily available, potable water will be provided with minimum controls. However, even in these environments, considerable materiel and manpower force structure might be required to produce and distribute potable water that meets the minimum standards for personnel consumption. In arid theaters, where raw water sources are scarce, water conservation and waste minimization become even more critical to sustained force operations. In these theaters, water will be centrally managed by Materiel Management Centers as a critical supply commodity, and all water distributed within the theater will, by necessity, be potable. To ensure the availability of quality water to meet the critical minimum requirements for unit level drinking, personal hygiene, field feeding, heat injury treatment and medical operations, commanders must be prepared to compromise non-critical requirements for other operations such as centralized hygiene, laundry and engineer construction. Water conservation and supply discipline training should be conducted periodically to ensure a thorough understanding of principles, practices and procedures.

ASSUMPTIONS

The following assumptions were made in developing the water consumption estimates presented in this planning guide.

Whenever actual logistics intelligence of the theater, historical data, experience or command planning guidance provide different or more accurate data, logistics planners should modify appropriate consumption data as necessary.

• Water requirements for drinking, personal hygiene, field feeding, heat casualty treatment, and medical operations will not be compromised.

• Water production will be accomplished with U.S. Army equipment.

• Only potable water will be available for mission support in an arid environment.

• Water sources are accessible and exploitable.

• Required water distribution support equipment is in place.

• A 10% loss factor, comprised of 4% evaporation and 6% waste/spillage, is required through all environments.

• Two showers and up to 15 pounds of laundry will be provided to each individual per week.

• Only back-up support will be provided to other services.

I-4

• Food Preparation.

o Water requirements for sustained operations are based on a ration cycle of two hot meals and one

Meal Ready to Eat (MRE) per day. Water requirements for minimum operations are based on a ration cycle of three MREs per day.

o When the ration cycle is exclusively MREs, company and/or battalion field feeding equipment sanitation/cleanup operations will not be established. When the ration cycle calls for serving hot meals, the field feeding equipment sanitation/cleanup operations and/or the Mobile Kitchen Trailer (MKT) will be charged with only the requisite amount of water required for each hot meal.

o Disposable dinnerware will be used for all hot ration meals, when practicable.

• Raw water acquired from available sources in hot, tropical, temperate, and cold climatic environments will normally not require ROWPU processing to meet the minimum quality standards required for non-potable water-consuming functional mission operations.

HOW TO USE THE GUIDE

This guide is a comprehensive and flexible water requirements planning tool. Logistics planners can access individual sections to expeditiously determine situational requirements using Standard Planning Factors. During deliberate planning, logistics planners should sequentially work through each section of this planning guide to ensure the most accurate determination and balance between force water consumption and water purification, storage and distribution capability.

Section I is an overview of the water planning process and is a quick reference for general theater water requirements determination. It contains:

• A discussion of Department of Army (DA), Army Service Component Command (ASCC) and US Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) responsibilities associated with the Army’s designation as DoD Executive Agent for water resources management.

• Water planning assumptions used in developing standard Army water planning factors.

• Tables containing standard planning factors by climatic environment for conventional and integrated theaters.

I-5

• Water consumption estimates applicable to all theaters for discrete population sets, workloads and equipment.

Section II provides detailed rationale for the standard planning factors presented in Section I. It describes the currently-recognized operations that consume water and the computations used to derive standard planning factors. Logistics planners should use the data presented in this section as a quick reference for situational determination of singular force/mission operation water requirements for a force element. For deliberate planning, planners should use this section to modify/adjust standard planning factors based upon theater logistics preparation of the battlefield assessments, theater threat intelligence or operation-unique requirements.

Section III provides planning factors by echelon/command level based on theater, environmental region and related functional mission profiles. Use this section to determine the gallons/person/day consumption associated with various force echelons and command levels.

Section IV contains potable water production tables for Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Units (ROWPU). If the water temperature and total dissolved solids are known, the hourly production rate can be calculated. Knowing the production rate and the production requirement, the planner can estimate the number of ROWPUs needed to meet the mission.

Section V provides tables of usage factors and consumables associated with ROWPUS (e.g., chemicals, cartridge filters, and RO elements).

Section VI provides an abbreviated list of Line Item Numbers (LIN) for the principal water purification, storage and distribution equipment (e.g., ROWPUs, tanks, storage and distribution systems, water quality analysis sets, pumps, drums, etc.) and associated transportation equipment (e.g., trucks, tractors, semi-trailers, drum tie-down kit).

Section VII is a glossary of abbreviations and acronyms used in the Water Planning Guide.

Section VIII provides definitions of terms used in the Water Planning Guide.

Section IX summarizes water quality requirements by function.

I-6

WATER PLANNING FACTOR TABLES

Water planning factors are based upon estimates shown in the approved Water Planning Data Study, US Army CASCOM, 24 July 2008. These estimates have been converted to daily factors using various units of measure, such as gallons/person/day, gallons/day, gallons/unit and gallons/hospital bed. The methods for converting these estimates into daily factors are discussed in Section II of this guide.

Certain planning factors, which are referred to in this guide as “standard planning factors,” are based on the number of personnel in a theater force. Tables 1 and 2 provide these standard planning factors for sustaining and minimum consumption rates within each environmental region. Table I should be used for military forces operating in conventional theaters. Table 2 should be used for military forces operating in integrated theaters.

Several water-consuming activities are driven by discrete military and/or civilian population sets, workloads, or specific equipment densities. Consumption for these activities cannot be easily reduced to per capita planning factors that can be applied against the military personnel population in a theater. Nevertheless, standard planning factors have been developed for some of these functions. Table 3, which is applicable to both conventional and integrated theater planning, provides these planning factors for sustaining and minimum consumption rates within each environmental region.

The tables provide a summary of the water consumption profiles associated with force projection operations. Potable water requirements in tables are shaded. Bold print indicates totals of one or more factors in the table. For example, a total of requirements for non-potable might be shown. The tables also reflect the total theater water requirements (the sum of potable and non-potable water requirements) for both conventional and integrated theaters. These totals are shown in reversed print. Note that in arid environments, all water is potable.

Use the data provided in the following tables for general theater planning. Note that the standard planning factors in these tables were developed to be consistent with the assumptions discussed on pages I-3 and I-4, above. Planners may modify or adjust these standard planning factors based on latest logistics preparation of the battlefield assessments or other unique conditions associated with a given operation or area of operation. Section II of this guide provides a detailed discussion of the components and rationale for computation of consumption rates for each of the functions identified in Tables 1 through 5. Planners should refer to Section II when making required modifications or adjustments to standard planning factors.

SECTION II-B INTEGRATED THEATER

SECTION II-C DISCRETE POPULATION SETS, WORKLOADS AND EQUIPMENT

This section provides the rationale for the Standard Planning Factors presented in Section I. Logistics planners should use this section:

1. For situational determination of singular force/mission operation water requirements for a force element.

2. To modify/adjust standard planning factors to meet unique theater or operational requirements.

Start with the Standard Planning Factors presented in Section I, and then go to the appropriate paragraph in this section to examine the rationale, apply rates to situational requirements or modify the Standard Planning Factor.

II-A-1

SECTION II-A – CONVENTIONAL THEATER REQUIREMENTS

Universal Unit Level (UUL)

1. Description. The Universal Unit Level is the amount of water required by all Army units, regardless of their location in the theater. It includes water for drinking, personal hygiene, food preparation, heat injury treatment and vehicle maintenance.

2. Water Quality Requirement. Water for drinking, personal hygiene and food preparation must be potable. Permission to use other than potable water for heat injury treatment requires a risk assessment by Preventive Medicine personnel and approval from the Command/Theater Surgeon and Commander. Water for vehicle maintenance operations must be fresh but does not have to be potable.

3. Explanatory Notes.

a. Planning factors for the UUL apply to both conventional and integrated theaters, but they vary by climate. Factors for drinking, personal hygiene and food preparation reflect average direct gallon/person/day consumption. Factors for heat injury treatment and vehicle maintenance are per capita consumption estimates based on the number of personnel in the theater.

b. Minimum factors are based on The Surgeon General’s recommendation of one shower and 7.2 pounds of laundry per week, shaving (males) and brushing teeth once per day, washing hands three times per day, and sponge bathing five times per week. The Army goal is two showers and 15 pounds of laundry per week. Sustaining factors are based the Army goal of one shower and one field expedient shower and 15 pounds of laundry per week, shaving (males) once per day, brushing teeth three times per day, washing hands six times per day, and sponge bathing five times per week. The factor for shaving assumes that 81% of the theater population is males based on data provided by DA G1 from

PAM XXI.

c. Food preparation planning factors are based on a sustaining ration cycle of two UGR meals (A or heat and serve) and one Meal, Ready to Eat (MRE), and a minimum ration cycle of three MREs.

d. The heat injury treatment factor applies to all theaters and represents the maximum amount of chilled water required for expected daily heat stroke casualties. Heat injury treatment factors are calculated by applying the amount of water required per patient to the TAA 08-13 theater population.

e. Potable water for vehicle maintenance is normally required only in hot, arid environments. However, if raw water from available sources in any other theater environment requires ROWPU processing to meet minimal vehicle maintenance quality standards, tropical, temperate and cold factors should be modified to indicate that potable water is required. Vehicle maintenance factors are derived by multiplying the expected radiator coolant replacement quantity (1.0 gallon/vehicle/day in hot climates, and 0.5 gallons/vehicle/day in temperate and cold climates) by the number of vehicles in the theater and dividing by the theater population. If ROWPU processing of water is required, the Standard Planning Factors for tropical, temperate and cold climates must be increased by .0.33 and 0.17 gallons/person/day, respectively.

f. Drinking factors for the UUL are based on climate and level of activity.

Central Hygiene Operations – Shower and Laundry

1. Description. Shower and laundry water is that which is required by theater Quartermaster elements to provide individual soldier laundry and shower field services. Water requirements for these functions are constant for conventional and integrated environments and for all climates.

2. Water Quality Standard. Potable water is required for showers. Water for laundry operations should be free of foreign matter and microorganisms, and local medical authority might require that it be disinfected prior to use.

a. Factors for central hygiene apply to conventional and integrated theaters as well as all climates.

b. Potable water is required for laundry only in arid environments. Laundry factors are determined based on daily pounds of laundry and daily laundry unit water use assuming 20-hour, 7-day-per-week operations.

The Surgeon General recommends a minimum of one shower and one change of uniform per person per week for health reasons. From a morale standpoint, the Army goal is one standard shower and one field expedient shower per week with two changes of uniform. Shower water requirements are derived directly from per-shower consumption. A seven-minute shower requires 11.9 gallons, and a field-expedient shower requires 1.25 gallons. The minimum factors are based on The Surgeon General’s recommendation, and the sustaining factors are based on the Army goal.
