MIL-HDBK-1005/6
FOREWORD
This handbook is one of a series 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 handbook uses, to the maximum extent
feasible, national professional society, association, and institute standards
in accordance with NAVFACENGCOM policy. Deviations from these criteria should
not be made without prior approval of NAVFACENGCOM Headquarters Code 04.
Design cannot remain static any more than can the functions it serves or the
technologies it uses. Accordingly, recommendations for improvement are
encouraged from within the Navy, other Government agencies, and the private
sector and should be furnished on the DD Form 1426 provided inside the back
cover to Commanding Officer, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Code 04,
Northern Division, Building 77-Low, U.S. Naval Base, Philadelphia, PA 19112-
5094, phone (215) 897-6153.
DO NOT USE THIS HANDBOOK AS A REFERENCE DOCUMENT FOR PROCUREMENT OF FACILITIES
CONSTRUCTION. IT IS TO BE USED IN THE PURCHASE OF FACILITIES ENGINEERING
STUDIES AND DESIGNS (PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND COST ESTIMATES). DO NOT
REFERENCE IT IN MILITARY OR FEDERAL SPECIFICATIONS OR OTHER PROCUREMENT
DOCUMENTS.
