This military handbook is a guide for the inspection, maintenance, and repair of waterfront structures and related facilities. It is a source of reference for planning, estimating, and performing technical maintenance and repair work; and may serve as a training manual for waterfront facilities maintenance personnel.
This handbook provides guidance for maintenance and repair of waterfront facilities to retain them in continuous readiness for use by the Fleet and in support of military marine operations.
The types of waterfront facilities covered include:
- Berthing facilities for mooring and for providing support to ships and craft.
- Dry-docks used for modification, inspection, maintenance and repair of ships.
- Components of waterfront structures such as piling, dolphins, bulkheads, and decks.
- Fender systems are briefly considered.
Not specifically considered in this handbook are:
- Coastal protection structures designed to protect shorelines or harbours.
- Components of waterfront structures such as utility distribution systems and fleet moorings. The maintenance and repair of coastal protection structures is included in the Army Corps of Engineers, Coastal Engineering Manual, downloadable above. Repair of coastal structures is covered in more detail in USACE, Coastal Engineering Technical Notes and Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Technical Notes.
- The maintenance of utility distribution systems is covered by various service manuals and commercial publications. NAVFAC MO-124, Mooring Maintenance, provides details on the maintenance of fleet mooring systems.
These documents, and all Government documents referenced in this handbook, provide additional guidance primarily to DOD and U.S. Coast Guard activities. They may also be useful, however, to commercial firms that provide waterfront repair for these activities.
