Burnout TypeA complete plan view of a four-hole burnout field-type latrine is shown in figure 9-28. The waste goes intoremovable barrels. The waste is then disposed of atanother location. This type of latrine is used at mostadvanced or temporary bases. The burnout latrine iskept in an orderly condition (daily) by the camp main-tenance personnel or the assigned sanitation crew. It canbe easily maintained by spreading lime over the wastematerial or using diesel fuel to bum the waste material.MAINTENANCEOnce wood frame facilities are completed and oc-cupied by the tenants, maintenance becomes the majorpriority. The life span of a facility is greatly increasedwith proper maintenance. Even though the majority ofthese buildings are temporary in nature, most cart bedismantled and reassembled at another site. Estab-lishment of a regularly scheduled maintenance programensures the buildings are in a consistent state of readi-ness.K-SPAN BUILDINGLEARNING OBJECTIVE: Upon completingthis section, you should be able to identify thecomponents of, preparation procedures for andprocedures used in the erection of a K-spanbuilding.The K-span building is a relatively new form ofconstruction in the Seabee community. The intendeduses of these buildings are as flexible as the SEA hutsdiscussed earlier. Training key personnel in the opera-tion of the related equipment associated with the K-spanis essential. These same personnel, once trained, caninstruct other members of the crew in the safe erectionof a K-span. The following section gives you some, butnot all, of the key elements associated with K-spanconstruction. As with other equipment, always refer tothe manufacturers’ manuals.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSThe main component of the K-span system is thetrailer-mounted machinery shown in figure 9-29.
