UFC 4-022-01
25 May 2005
Provide a minimum clear height of 14 ft 6 in (4.41 m) for emergency response
vehicle access. Fans or other type of air circulation device should be provided (if not
provided for individual sentry/guard booths). The minimum clear height is 17 feet 6 in
(5.4 m) for commercial vehicle inspection areas.
ACP canopies should have a minimum vertical clearance of 14.5 ft (4.41 m)
A
unless a large number of over-height trucks are expected, then 17 ft (5.2 m). Canopies
at Truck/Commercial Vehicle Only ACPs should have a minimum clearance of 17 feet
(5.2 m).

Common Requirements
This section outlines the requirements that are common to all guard facilities.
6-9.6.1 Construction
Design the facilities as required in UFC 1-200-01 Design: General Building
Requirements and UFC 3-310-01 Design: Load Assumptions for Buildings. Consider
the corrosion resistance and maintenance requirements of the guard facilities,
especially pre-manufactured facilities, due to the perils of environmental exposure
commonly encountered at some installations and the high visibility of these structures.
6-9.6.2 Physical Security and Protective Design
Determine the required physical security design features in accordance with installation
requirements and UFC 4-020-01. Threats that may commonly be considered include
forced entry and ballistic attack. Provide ballistic protection equivalent to UL 752 Level
III (formerly SPSA) for all guard facilities as a minimum. Provide this protection in the
design and construction of the exterior envelope including windows, doors, walls, and
other equipment. It is not required for openings or penetrations for weapons in guard
facilities, such as the overwatch position. Another consideration in establishing the
minimum level of ballistic protection is ensuring protection from the weapons carried by
security personnel at the ECF. Table 6-2 provides examples of the wall thickness
required for commonly encountered materials to provide an adequate ballistic
resistance against UL 752 Level III. Additional information and guidance can be found
in UFC 4-023-04 Design to Resist Direct Fire Weapons Effects.
Construction of guard facilities should meet the minimum ballistic requirements
AF
of UL 752 Level V. See Table 6-3.
