 CHAPTER 1. PURPOSE OF THE PUBLICATION
1. INTRODUCTION
a. Purpose. The purpose of this publication is to identify materials, equipment, and
procedures to provide rapid restoration of mission critical facilities in wartime. The emphasis
is on techniques for quick temporary repair actions or utilization of alternate utility sources
(Stand-Alone Systems) for immediate restoration of services. Expedient repairs are to be
performed primarily by the Naval Construction Force (NCF) personnel, although the technology
is also within the capabilities of station public works organizations.
(1) Utilities addressed are:
(a) Water
(b) Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POL)
(c) Sanitary
(d) Steam
(e) Electric
(2) Stand-Alone Systems addressed are:
(a) Water
(b) Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POL)
(c) Electrical Power
b. Scope
(1) Commercially available nondevelopmental technology applicable to rapid
utility repair is discussed. Emphasis is on simple repair methods using light, portable materials,
equipment, and tools.
(2) This publication is generic in nature, which means that it addresses a systems
approach to problem solving rather than site specific applications. Individual commands may
take general recommendations contained in the manual and adapt them to a site specific
application. Materials, tools, and equipment may be procured and stockpiled as desired.
Procurement information is also provided.
(3) Training requirements for expedient repair technology is addressed. The
primary intent is to address deficiencies for future corrective action.
