2-3. Standard Magazines. Standard magazine designs have been
developed in coordination with the Department of Defense
Explosive Safety Board (DDESB) so that designs would be
considered preapproved when called for in construction. The
largest sizes are about 25 feet wide. The length can vary, but
is usually 80 feet. Smaller magazines have widths ranging from
approximately 8 feet to 14 feet, with the length also varying.
a. Drawings approved for new construction. These standard
magazines, are for the most part, a complete set of construction
drawings with accompanying specifications. The magazines must,
however, be site-adapted for local conditions. These magazines
designs are approved for storing 500,000 pounds and may be
ordered from the U.S. Army Engineer Division, Huntsville.
