CHAPTER 1CONSTRUCTION SUPPORTINTRODUCTION(ABIOL), OPNAV 41P3, is a detailed itemized lineitem printout of the material in each ABFC. Eachsystem command (SYSCOM)/bureau is responsiblefor maintaining a detailed list of that portion of theABIOL of an ABFC for which it has been assignedcontributory responsibility.As a second class petty officer your duties andresponsibilities will increase in the area of construction support. This chapter will discuss some ofthese responsibilities, such as the Advanced BaseFunctional Components System, shoring andexcavation safety, project planning, network analysis,timekeeping, quality control, and hazardous materials.NAVFAC P-437The Facilities Planning Guide, NAVFAC P-437,is the basic document that identifies the structures andsupporting utilities of the ABFC System. It consists oftwo volumes.ADVANCED BASE FUNCTIONALCOMPONENTS (ABFC)The Advanced Base Functional Components(ABFC) System consists of two general-purposepublications: Table of Advanced Base FunctionalComponents with Abridged Initial Outfitting Lists,OPNAV-41P3, and Facilities Planning Guide, Volumes I and II, NAVFAC P-437.Volume I contains reproducible engineeringdrawings organized in three parts—Part I, ComponentSite Plans, indexed by component designation; Part II,Facility Drawings and Networks, indexed by facilitynumber; and Part III, Assembly Drawings, indexed byassembly numbers.The ABFC System was developed to providesupport facilities to constantly changing tactical andstrategic situations. A modular or building-blockconcept was developed. Components were needed thatwould incorporate men, materials, equipment, andfacilities designed and developed to fulfill specificfunctions, no matter where the components wereplaced. The Navy ABFC System is based on the earlyexperience in advanced base planning and shipmentused in World War II with improvements broughtabout by experiences learned in Korea, Vietnam, andthe Persian Gulf.Volume II contains the detailed data display foreach component, facility, and assembly in the ABFCSystem. It also has three parts. Part I quantifies anddescribes, by DoD category code, the facilitiesrequirements for each component. Part II quantifiesand describes, by assembly number, the assemblyrequirements for each facility. Part III quantifies lineitem requirements, by national stock number (NSN),for each assembly.Other information used for planning, such as thecrew size, man-hours by skill, land area, and fuelnecessary to make a component, facility, or assemblyoperational is contained in the guide.The Navy ABFC System is the quantitativeexpression and measurement of planning,procurement, assembly, and shipping of material andpersonnel that is needed to satisfy facility supportrequirements. The basic groupings of the ABFCSystem are (1) component, a complete unit; (2)facility, a portion of a complete component; and (3)assembly, a portion of a facility. These simpledefinitions and the interaction of these three units willbe fully explained later in this chapter.The NAVFAC P-437 includes facilities andassemblies that are not directly related to componentsshown in the OPNAV P-41P3. These predesignedfacilities and assemblies give the planner alternativesfor satisfying contingency requirements when thecallout of a complete component is not desired. For thepurpose of compatibility with other DOD planningsystems, the NAVFAC P-437 has been oriented to thestandard DOD category codes for classifying realproperty of the Navy, as listed in Department of theNavy Facility Codes, NAVFAC P-72. The cardinalcategory codes are shown in table 1-1.OPNAV 41P3The Table of Advanced Base FunctionalComponents with Abridged Initial Outfitting Lists1-1

Understand your exact requirements and mission. Choose components, facilities, or assemblies thatfit or can be tailored to meet your desired goals. Verifystock numbers and descriptions by using appropriatestock lists. Verification is done automatically whencomponents, facilities, or assemblies are ordered.CATEGORIESOperations and TrainingMaintenance and ProductionResearch.

The component containsa listing of facilities by category code.A facility required for an electrical power plantwill be found in the 800 series, Utilities and GroundImprovements. The assemblies contained within eachof these facilities consist of a grouping of line items atthe national stock number level that, when assembled,will perform a specific function in support of thefacility. These assemblies are functionally grouped insuch a way that the assembly relates to the Seabee skillrequired to install it. These groupings are shown intable 1-2.One such facility is the electric power plant diesel,2-200 kW without tank, facility, 811 10R. Figure 1-2shows this facility. Note that within the facility thenecessary assemblies are identified.Figure 1-3 shows an assembly from within facility811 10R.

Facilitycapacity is expressed in terms of the units of measureused in the NAVFAC P-72. The component capacity isa multiplication of the facility capacity and thequantity. Weight and cube are measured in normalunits for export packing. Weight and constructioneffort are computed using The Seabee Planner’s andEstimator’s Handbook, NAVFAC P-405. Averageconstruction conditions are assumed and computationsare based on normal Seabee skill levels.PROOF," indicates by line items the national stocknumbers required to make the assembly operable.Assembly listings indicate the installed or collateralequipment provided. Certain installed or collateralequipment supplied by other SYSCOMs or bureaus arenot furnished with the facilities or assemblies listed inthe NAVFAC P-437. They must be ordered separately.COMPONENT P-25A breakdown of the component P-25, as shown infigure 1-1, is as follows: a brief header describing themission and capabilities of the component. The siteplan pertaining to each component is depicted by aNAVFAC drawing number. However, drawings involume 1, part 1, are indexed by componentdesignation, not drawing numbers. The word NONEappears for components that have no site plans.

Often the land requirements, in acres, basedon the assumed plot plan, will not be followedexactly because of terrain or existing buildings. Theidealized plot plan was developed to design supporting utility systems. The material contained inthe utility facilities has been increased to allow forvariation in terrain.1. Construction standards (const std) are groupedinto two classifications: initial and temporary.a. INITIAL (INIT)—Duration of requirementless than 6 months.b. TEMPORARY (TEMP)—Duration ofrequirement from 6 to 60 months.1-4

described in NAVFAC P-72, is included. This is used,for example, in the 700 series of facilities where theprimary capacity is expressed in men, and thesecondary, in square feet.4. The connected electrical load in kVA has beencomputed based on knowledge of ABIOL or Table ofAllowance (TOA) contents. A load diversity factorhas been applied to compute the kVA demand. Waterand sewer demand are based on ABIOL or TOAcontents and the utility systems designed to thiscriteria.The recoverability code is a broad indication ofthe relocatability or recoverability. The code "A"indicates total recoverability, and "D" indicates adisposable facility. Details are found in table 1-3,Recoverability Codes.5. Compute 30-day requirements for installedengine-driven or fuel-fired equipment only. Noallowance for automotive, construction, weighthandling, and other jobsite support equipment fuel isincluded. Fuel is not provided when facilities orassemblies are shipped. NAVSUP provides fuel as acontribution when whole components are shipped.ASSEMBLY 32602Figure 1-3 shows a typical entry for an assembly.This assembly provides the necessary material for theinstallation of a 200-kilowatt generator. Headerinformation is the same as that for a facility. Assemblyline-item requirements are displayed by cognizancesymbol and national stock number. The unit of issue,weight, cube, and dollar value are extracted fromsupply files once the requirement data is entered. Thisdata changes often, but frequent changes will not bemade in the Facilities Planning Guide for stocknumbers with minor price-level changes.6. The skill requirements are designated by Seabee(OF-13) ratings and are expressed in man-hours ascomputed for each facility.FACILITY 811 10RFigure 1-2 shows atypical facility entry in part 2 ofvolume I–electric power plant diesel 2-200 kWgenerators, without tank, facility 811 10R. Adjacent tothe facility number, the heading shows the JCSplanning factor applied. The header also describes thebasic capability of the facility. The NAVFAC drawingnumber is shown for reference purposes. All drawingsin volume I, part 2, are indexed by facility number.ORDERINGComponents, facilities, or assemblies can beordered. Components are usually ordered only under amobilization situation and requested through the CNO.Facilities and assemblies can be ordered without CNOapproval if reimbursement is provided. Requests forrelease are forwarded to NCBC, Port Hueneme. Attention is directed to the Facilities Projects Manual,OPNAVINST 11010.20 (Series), regarding projectapprovals for peacetime use and to Procurement,Lease, and Use of Relocatable Buildings,OPNAVINST 11010.33 (Series), (DODINST4165.56), regardingthe relocatable building program.The assemblies required to make the facilityfunctionally operational are listed in assembly-numbersequence. These numbers were derived from the primetrade involved in the construction. The 30,000 seriesindicates Construction Electricians; the 50,000,Equipment Operators.Following a brief description of the assembly isthe zone code. For facilities or assemblies that aredesigned for use in both northern and tropical zones,the zone column is usually left blank. However,assemblies required for Arctic operation aredesignated code “N.” The quantity given is amultiplier, indicating the number of assemblies to beordered.INDEX OF FACILITIESSuppose there is a requirement for an electricaldistribution system underground. To determine what isavailable in the ABFC System to satisfy therequirement, look in volume 2, part 2, Index ofFacilities, under the 800 series (Utilities and GroundImprovements), as shown in figure 1-4. If anapproximate 11,000-foot system is needed, facility812 30AB can be used; see figure 1-5.Weight and cubic feet are measured in normalterms for export packing. Weight, cube, and dollarvalue reflect totals for each line.
