AE Master Plans: A Tool for Ensuring Explosives Safety Compliance

Abstract

Today's planners and explosives safety managers often lack a detailed, comprehensive plan for planned construction of explosives facilities. Installation master plans rarely identify specific building placement or recommended magazine designs. When a military construction project (MILCON) or other construction opportunity arises, a new facility site may be chosen that meets explosives safety criteria but hinders future development. One solution is to develop an Ammunition and Explosives (AE) Master Plan, which identifies a specific approach to long-term improvements to explosives facilities. A comprehensive AE Master Plan includes final alternatives for recapitalization, phasing, construction cost estimates, environmental and explosives safety issues, and a preliminary site plan.
