MAINTENANCE PLANNING AND TYPES OF FACILITIES

MAINTENANCE PLANNING
2-1.1
Cooperation And Coordination
2-1.1.1 Intraservice Functions. Cooperation and coordination of waterfront
maintenance activities among the installation departments concerned should be
continuous. Properly planned and executed maintenance programs prevent
undesirable interruption of operations on military installations. Supply officers,
through normal channels, provide standard items of materials and equipment for
waterfront maintenance.
2-1.1.2 Interservice and Interdepartmental Functions. Cooperation and
coordination in conducting waterfront maintenance are encouraged at all levels of
command. Appropriate liaison should be established and maintained between
major commands and installations in a geographical area. Cross-service
assistance should be provided as necessary in the interests of economy and
maximum utilization of manpower and equipment. Technology transfer of
improved maintenance methods and materials should be continuously
encouraged.
2-1.1.3 Fleet Requirements. All maintenance and repair activities should be
scheduled and coordinated to minimize pier down time for the fleet. Direct
communication with the fleet command is vital for ensuring fleet requirements are
considered when planning pier maintenance or repair.
2-1.2
Joint Service Responsibility. The responsibility for inspection,
maintenance, and repair of waterfront structures and related facilities rests with
each service. Because of the quantity of waterfront facilities in inventory, the
Navy retains a strong technology base in design, construction, and maintenance
of waterfront structures: such as piers, wharves, quaywalls, dry-docks, dolphin
assemblies, and moorings. The Army maintains a similar capability for coastal
harbor facilities, such as breakwaters, jetties, groins, and seawalls.
2-1.2.1 Army. Staff, command, and technical responsibility for maintenance
and repair of waterfront structures at Army installations will conform to assign-
ments set forth in AR 415 and 420-10 series. Policy and standards for the
maintenance of shore protection works are contained in ER-1110-2-2902,
Prescribed Procedures for the Maintenance and Operation of Shore Protection
Works.
U.S. Army Engineer divisions and districts provide specialized
expertise in evaluation of coastal erosion, and design and maintenance of
coastal and harbor facilities.
