Plant 44 Audit Reports - Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

4. FACILITY REVIEW OBSERVATIONSThe following items were noted during the walk through of the plant:4.1. Items that can affect sprinkler operation.4.1.1. Building 814, near column C-5. Two sprinklers are covered with masking tape.4.1.2. Missing ceiling tiles were found in the following areas;Building 855, break room, hallway and Bay 5.Building 801, room C 1200, hallway near column C 15, room 1200a near columnA 15, TOW assembly area near column G 19 and G20, standard Missile area near columnL 15, area near column L 18, RAM area near column N8 and P8, and the access cover nearcolumn M23.Building 849, first floor east end.4.1.3. Building 814, paint booth has a sprinkler that is located right against the filter.4.1.4. Building 864, paint booth number 4, the plastic bags over the sprinklers needreplacing.4.1.5. Building 801, the paint booth in room C1200a, near column A 15 has a sprinklerhead whose protective plastic bag is filled with water. Aside from replacing the plasticbag, need to determine source of the water.4.1.6. Building 801, Stinger area anechoic chamber, the sprinklers in the chamber isrecessed too far into the foam absorbers to be effective. The sprinklers should be loweredor the drop down type be installed so that the water distribution will not be affected.4.1.7. Building 864, all ofthe exhaust ducts ofthe paint booth have sprinklers in them.However the sprinkler needs to be secured and/or the opening around the pipe penetrationneeds to be closed up.4.1.8. Building 849, the 2 nd floor room with the "home-made" anechoic test chamber has3 cable chases (approx 2'xl' rectangle) penetrations in the suspended ceiling leading toequipment on the roof. These need to be sealed as much as practical minimize thespread of smoke or fire.4.2. Areas that need additional sprinkler coverage.4.2.). Building 8) 4, there are a considerable amount of ducts that are greater than fourfeet in width that should have sprinklers below these ducts. It is our understanding that aconsiderable amount of duct rearrangement is taking place and that is the reason for themissing coverage. Once all of the duct work is completed, a survey should be taken toensure all obstructions greater than four feet in width have sprinklers installed belowthem.Attachment 2
