Existing oil tank weight is estimated at approximately 575-750 lbs. empty. There is roughly 300 gallons of fuel remaining in the tank. The estimated weight of the half full tank is 2600-2900 lbs. There is a 1/2" flexible copper supply line running from the fuel tank to the furnace. The distance between the two is roughly 10.5'.

d. The day tank unit is 120VAC hard-wired and located on the floor above the main entrance of the gatehouse. The approximate footprint of the tank is 12" x 24" x 20". The transfer pump for the day tank is 120V hard-wired and located to the immediate right of the main fuel tank. The tank is fitted with four (4) 1" NPT threaded pipe connections, one (1) 1 1/4" NPT threaded connection for the pipe vent, and an additional fitting for the fuel inlet. There are two 3/8" flexible braided, nitrile supply and return lines running from the tank to the generator.butadiene rubber (NBR)

f. A USACE-owned overhead hoist is in the tower and is available for use by the contractor, if needed. The maximum capacity load of the hoist is 5 tons. If the contractor chooses to use this overhead crane, the contractor is responsible for completing an inspection to certify use, as well as a post operation inspection.

g. Overhead crane use requires the setup of fall protection barricades and the removal of three steel floor plates, each measuring 2'6" x 5' and weighing approximately 100 lbs. After panels are removed, the total floor opening measures 7'6" x 5'. Access to the furnace level floor (floor below the main level) via hatchway requires the removal of three steel floor plates.
