rest on the trailer rails and are fastened to the unit by banding straps. All other components necessary to
complete the assembly of the six pumping stations are in a crate marked "PUMPING STATIONS". Load this
crate on the back of the truck used to tow the first trailer-mounted pumping assembly to the lead pumping
station installation site. Tow crate and pump to installation site for lead pumping station. Transport remaining
trailer-mounted pumping assemblies(boost pumping stations) to their respective installation sites.
4.4.2.3 Storage Assemblies. Components for the storage assemblies are packed in three crates. Two crates
are marked "TANK, FABRIC, COLLAPSIBLE, 20K GALLON". Each of these two crates contains one 20,000
gallon pillow tank along with valves and fittings required for tank installation. The third crate is marked
"STORAGE ASSEMBLY". This crate contains all other components for two storage assemblies. Transport
these three crates to the first storage assembly site.
4.4.2.4 Distribution Points . Components for distribution points are packed in three crates. Two of these
crates contain a 125 GPM pumping assembly and are marked "PUMP, CENTRIFUGAL, 125 GPM". The third
crate is marked "DISTRIBUTION POINT". This crate contains all other components necessary to complete
assembly of two distribution points. Transport the three distribution point crates to the first storage assembly
site.
4.4.2.5 10-Mile Hoseline Segment. Components of the 10-mile hoseline segment are packed in 34 crates.
Thirty-three crates contain hoseline and are marked "HOSE ASSEMBLY,6 INCH, 500 FEET". Each crate
contains four older model flaking boxes or two newer model flaking boxes. Each older model flaking box
contains one 500 foot hose assembly. Each newer model flaking box contains two 500 foot hose assemblies.
The remaining crate is marked "10-MILE SEGMENT". This crate contains all other components necessary for
installation of the 10-mile hoseline segment. Transport these crates to the area of the lead pumping station.
4.4.2.6 General Crate Unpacking Instructions.
CAUTION
Do not use excessive force when unpacking TWDS crates. Packing crates or
components may be damaged.
a. Be careful during unpacking not to damage container contents or packing materials.
b. Remove lid from crate. As required, remove blocking, bracing, and anchoring securing contents within
crate.
c. Save all packing materials and store them in their opened containers after removal of crate contents.
d. Return unused components to crates.
e. Return all fiberboard and plywood boxes to original crates.
f. Retain all packing materials at installation site. This will speed repacking when moving TWDS to a new site
or returning to storage.
4.4.3 Checking Unpacked Equipment. Tables 4-1 through 4-5 contain a listing of all components contained
in the TWDS packing crates. Each table identifies the item, item size, item quantity contained in the crate, and
an inspection to be performed on each item. Refer to applicable technical manual for inspection and unpacking
of the 600 GPM pumping assemblies, 20,000 gallon pillow storage tanks, and 125 GPM
