BACKGROUND
1-3.1
General Information. This UFC has been developed from an evaluation
of facilities in the shore establishment, from surveys of the availability of new materials
and construction methods, and from selection of the best design practices of the Naval
Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFACENGCOM), other Government agencies,
and the private sector. This UFC was prepared using, to the maximum extent feasible,
national professional society, association, and institute standards. Deviations from this
criteria, in the planning, engineering, design, and construction of naval shore facilities,
cannot be made without prior approval of NAVFAC CIENG or USACE.
