Fuel Tank Removal and Replacement, Colebrook River Lake, Colebrook, CT

This federal engineering drawing from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers outlines the mechanical, heating, and fuel storage systems layout for a government facility's Heating Room (Floor El. 777.00) and Operating Room (Floor El. 790.50). The schematics detail the installation of diesel and heater fuel storage tanks, featuring two 275-gallon capacity tanks situated on a 3-inch concrete pad, supported by a 3 GPM diesel fuel pump, filters, and safety valves. A spring-loaded lever valve with a cable connection to a fusible link is positioned over the furnace for emergency shutoff. Additionally, the plan specifies a 50-gallon diesel fuel day tank equipped with a 1.5-inch overflow line to the main storage. HVAC and ventilation systems are integrated into the layout, detailing an oil-fired warm air heater with an output of 180,000 BTU (operating at 2,000 CFM and featuring a 1.65 GPH oil burner). Air circulation is supported by a centrifugal fan rated at 1,000 CFM at 5/8" SP. The drawing also marks key infrastructure coordinates, including hydraulic system control valves, emergency gate piping, elevator shafts, service bridges, and a monorail hoist system. This technical plan serves as a precise blueprint for contractors bidding on federal facility upgrades, ensuring compliance with strict military engineering standards for fuel storage, heating, and emergency backup systems.
