design to preclude shifting of equipment under operating conditions or
under abnormal conditions that could be imposed upon the equipment.
Foundations shall meet requirements of equipment manufacturer. Grout
equipment mounted on concrete foundations before installing piping.
Concrete shall conform to Army Corps of Engineers Guide Specification
Section [03300N] CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE, and grout shall be non-shrinkable
type approved by the Contracting Officer. Install piping in such a manner
so as not to place a strain on equipment.

draft ducts with heat-resisting aluminum paint, two coats on the inside of
flues and ducts and one coat on the outside, each coat to a minimum dry
film thickness of 0.025 mm one mil applied directly to clean bare metal
surfaces. Paint exposed surfaces of protective metal covering over
insulation, including zinc-coated surfaces, with two coats of
heat-resisting black paint to a minimum dry film thickness of 0.05 mm two
mils applied directly to the clean bare metal surfaces. Do not paint
zinc-coated ducts.
