U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION STANDARD BUILDING DESIGNS FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT SUBJ: PURPOSE, This order announces the issuance of standard building designs 1.

for electronic equipment (drawing series ~-6252 through ~-6257 and specifications FAA-C-2813 through FAA-C-2818) listed in appendixes 1 through 6. These standards include preengineered metal, concrete masonry, precast concrete, and fiberglass buildings for housing electronic equipment at unmanned facilities.

This order is distributed to the branch level in the 2. DISTRIBUTION, Program Engineering Service, and to the division level in the Systems Engineering Service and Systems Maintenance Service in Washington headquarters; to branch level in the regional Airway Facilities divisions, and to the director level at the FAA Technical Center and the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center.

Distribution: ~-w(ps)-3; +W(ES/SM)-2; Initiated By: ~~~-3.20 A-X(AF)-3; A-ZY-1 693027 5113188 e. The smallest of the building designs is a 7' x 5'-6. x 9' prefabricated fiberglass shelter. There is space for batteries for standby power and an auxillary engine generator receptacle is included.

DEVIATION FROM STANDARDS. The regions are authorized to site adapt these 4.

standards to fulfill their equipment installation requirements.

Deviations for site adaptation may include such changes as adjusting building dimensions to accommodate equipment layouts, relocating light fixtures to enhance illumination of work areas, and relocate air conditioners to obtain better airflow over equipment. The plot layout plans for the large size buildings depict an underground fuel storage tank. The fuel tank installation shall conform to the FAA standards, and additionally to local ordinances and building codes.

5. MODIFICATION TO STANDARDS. Suggestion for modifications or addition of details should be brought to the -attention of the Manager, Facilities Integration Division, APS-100.

CORRECTION TO STANDARDS. Correction to the standards may be made by the 6.

Director, Program Engineering Service, without further regional or interservice coordination. These may include dimensional errors, misspellings, and modification, addition, or deletion of details.

7. DISTRIBUTION OF STANDARDS.

a. A reproducible copy of each drawing and floppy disks with the specifications are being forwarded to each region, Attention: Airway Facilities Division. Computer Aided Engineering Graphics (CAEG) tapes are being provided to regions with CAEG equipment. Mylars are being provided The specifications are prepared using to regions without CAEG equipment.

WordPerfect, version 4.1 format.

b. Additional copies of drawings may be obtained from the Configuration Management Division, Attention: AES-410, Additional copies of the specifications may be obtained through normal channels from the DOT Warehouse, M-443.2.
