28 July 2005
UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA (UFC)
NEW DOCUMENT SUMMARY SHEET
Description of Change: UFC 4-152-01, DESIGN: PIERS & WHARVES represents another
step in the joint Services effort to bring uniformity to the planning, design and construction of
piers and wharves. This UFC contains extensive modifications in the following areas:
Loads and seismic considerations
Fender Systems
Camels and Separators
Conversion from Mil-Hdbk to UFC and general updates and revisions
Reasons for Change: The existing guidance was inadequate for the following reasons:
Previous document was nearly 20 years old
Need to convert to UFC format
Incorporation of changes described above
Update to referenced documents
Impact: The following direct benefits will result from the update of 4-152-01, DESIGN: PIERS &
WHARVES:
Although primarily a U.S. Navy document, a single, comprehensive, up to
date criteria document exists to cover design of piers and wharves.
Eliminates misinterpretation and ambiguities that could lead to design and
construction conflicts.
Facilitates updates and revisions and promotes agreement and uniformity of
design and construction between the Services.
