Explosive Safety Siting of Corps of Engineers Standard Igloo Designs
Abstract
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintains a family of "Standard Design" storage magazines. These designs are used throughout the Department of Defense (DOD) to store explosives and munitions. The DOD 6055.9- STD defines the approved safety siting and quantity limits for "standard" and "nonstandard" magazines. Several of the Corps "Standard Designs" are directly referenced by the DOD 6055.9-STD. There is a serious lack of understanding of the limitation on the use of Corps "Standard Design" magazines as "Standard" or "Nonstandard" storage as defined by DOD 6055.9-STD. This paper provides guidance in understanding the proper use of the Corps Standard Igloo Designs to comply with the exploqive safety requirements of the DOD standard.
