Lesson 3/Learning Event 2
Controlling traffic flow.
Establishing a secure area to control repair parts, tools, and test
equipment.
Providing adequate lighting and safety.
Ensuring security.
In laying out the area, the same considerations apply as in field
operations.
For example, the control office, the supply office, and the
initial inspection section should be near the entrance to the area. Supply
traffic should be kept out of the maintenance areas. Elements with related
or complementary functions should be located near each other.
Although
certain types of repair and parts fabrication are accomplished with
equipment mounted on vehicles, these vehicles, space permitting, can be
moved inside buildings. Refer to Figures 25 and 26, and to Figures 27 and
28 on pages 92 and 93 for suggested facilities layouts.
