Site Considerations for Outdoor Equipment

DOE-HDBK-1132-99

Filters with replaceable cartridges should be located at floor level below

grade in close proximity to the solid waste handling and storage area.

Filters should be arranged in a row along an exterior wall and in separate

cells with common shield walls between them. This allows use of the

structural exterior wall as a shield and permits the use of a single rigging

beam for cartridge removal.

Site Considerations for Outdoor Equipment . Important factors to be

1.2.6

considered in the site location of outdoor equipment are summarized below:

Tanks or equipment requiring frequent supplies should be located no

more than 10 feet from access roads used by delivery trucks.

Outdoor equipment should not be located near power lines, flammable,

and combustible liquid lines.

1.3

Piping Design and Layout . The following design guidelines should be considered in

the physical routing and design of piping systems. These guidelines are a compilation

of design, construction, startup, and operating experiences.

1.3.1

General.

Where continuous services are required, service headers should be

looped and appropriately valved to maintain service during routine

maintenance or system modification.

Service piping should be extended from horizontal service headers.

Piping should be located outside of hazardous areas whenever possible

to reduce personnel exposure during maintenance.

Adjacent facility walls and floors should not be penetrated in cases where

routine maintenance or alterations of service piping would result in

undesirable curtailment or interruption of operations in other adjacent

facilities.
