3-1.7 Local Population The site should be well away from local population concentrations.
3-2 Scheduling Logic
Without knowledge of a specific site, manpower and construction equipment allocations, shipping schedules, and U.S.
Army intent and priority for a specific area, it is not possible to propose a schedule. An installation logic diagram without
a time scale is, however, provided in Fig. 3-1 as a guide for the preparation of a schedule. The logic is in the sequence
of the instructions. Dependencies and appropriate activity overlap are shown.
3-3
Plot Plan
With the equipment data and installation instructions provided in this manual, it is believed that the facility can be erected
with only a firmed-up plot plan and the field prepared grading plan recommended in Section II. The following procedure
for plot plan preparation is recommended.
3-3.1 After the site has been selected, a preliminary plot plan should be made that shows all the major equipment and
system locations, including tanks, pumps, floodlight sets, fuel dispensing areas, tanker-truck receipt areas, and the
access roads. Chapter 2 para.'s 2-2 through 2-3.6 and the associated Fig.'s 2-2, 2-3A, 2-38, 2-4A, 2-48, 2-SA and 2-58
should be referred to for guidance.
3-3.2 After the primary cuts and fills have been made so that firm knowledge of the characteristics of the site is
available, and before the earthwork on tank sites, berms, and roadways is started, the preliminary plot plan should be
reviewed, corrected as necessary, and finalized into a final plot plan on which equipment locations are firm. Final
roadwork, tank pad and berm construction must be based on this final plot plan.
SECTION II SITE PREPARATION AND EARTHWORK
3-4
General Site Preparation
Final site selection and subsequently site preparation and earthwork must be based on the plot plan prepared as in
para.'s 3-3 through 3-3.2. Because the site will probably not be ideal, there must be some give and take between the plot
plan and site preparation results. The following procedures are recommended.
3-4.
The first step is to cut an access road to the site unless one already exists.
3-4.2 Site preparation work should be based on a grading plan that minimizes cut and fill operations even if the plan is
roughly prepared in the field. The plan should be based on actual on-site elevations and survey, observation of
obstructions, and knowledge of the types of soils that appear to be present.
3-4.3 Stake out the area that must be cleared, marking where the major components will be located. Cut, grub out,
doze, or if necessary, blast out major obstructions, i.e., trees, bush, large rocks and boulders, buildings, etc.
3-4.4 While it may be desirable to clear and finally grade the entire area required for a TPT, it is only necessary to clear
and grade the areas where a fuel unit will be located, transfer systems installed, roadways built, and loading and
unloading facilities installed. There must be good drainage regardless of the amount of clearing and grading undertaken.
