UFC 4-152-01 28 July 2005 Change 1, 1 September 2012 FOREWORD The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD (AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.) Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the most stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable. UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE) are responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is the responsibility of the cognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be sent to the respective service proponent office by the following electronic form: Criteria Change Request. The form is also accessible from the Internet sites listed below. UFC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the following source: • Whole Building Design Guide web site http://dod.wbdg.org/. Hard copies of UFC printed from electronic media should be checked against the current electronic version prior to use to ensure that they are current.

This UFC contains extensive modifications in the following areas: • Loads and seismic considerations • Fender Systems • Camels and Separators • Conversion from Mil-Hdbk to UFC and general updates and revisions Reasons for Change: The existing guidance was inadequate for the following reasons: • Previous document was nearly 20 years old • Need to convert to UFC format • Incorporation of changes described above • Update to referenced documents Impact: The following direct benefits will result from the update of 4-152-01, DESIGN: PIERS AND WHARVES: • Although primarily a U.S. Navy document, a single, comprehensive, up to date criteria document exists to cover design of piers and wharves. • Eliminates misinterpretation and ambiguities that could lead to design and construction conflicts. • Facilitates updates and revisions and promotes agreement and uniformity of design and construction between the Services. 1 UFC 4-152-01 28 July 2005 Change 1, 1 September 2012 TABLE OF CONTENTS
