1. SECTION 1, OPERATION - Significant Activities

a. From 1 August 1969 thru 31 October 1969, the 36th Engineer Battalions' construction effort was directed toward three major projects. These projects were the restoration of National Highway 4 from My Thuan to Ba Gang in Vinh Long Province, the upgrade of MACV Advisory Facilities in Kien Hoa, Vinh Binh, Dinh Tuong and Kien Tuong Provinces and base construction at Vinh Long Army Airfield.

b. The National Highway 4 project required the repair and upgrade of 16 km of road and new construction of 11km of realigned road using clay-lime and

clay-lime-cement stabilization. As of 31 October 1969 progress on the new alignment included completion of 10.4km of embankment fill, 5.3km of clay-

lime subbase and 3.6km of clay-lime-cement base course. Completion of the 16km of repair and upgrade included placing of 13.9km of sand fill, 13.6km of sand- cement subbase, 13.5km of rock base course, and 10.1km of surface treatment.

c. During the period the battalion was also devoted to the construction of base facilities at Vinh Long Army Airfield. Vertical construction included the completion of 7-20,xk44' two story troop billets, 2-10,500 gallon water

storage tanks, MER latrines and showers and 2-20'x40, concrete maintenance

pads. The base construction mission also included the dismantling at Dong Tarn, of 2-20'x96l Pasco buildings, B^O^O' Adams huts, 3-80,xl44, hangars

and 3-40'.96' warehouses. Thirteen of the sixteen structures were transported to Vinh Long for reassembling. As of 31 October 1969, 2-20'x96' Pasco build- ings and 3-20'x60' Adams huts were completed in Vinh Long. Work is continuing on the remaining 4-20,x60, Adams huts, 3-80'xl44' hangars, and the 40'x96'

warehouse. In addition the battalion completed a major upgrade of the Vinh Long Army Airfield. Helicopter parking apron totaling 44,000 square yards, with maintenance hardstand, was constructed using a 8" sand-cement (10% cement)

base course with a single surface treatment. Also included in this project were 29 Helicopter revetments.

d. MACV Advisory Facilities accounted for the remainder of the construction effort. During this period the battalion was tasked with the upgrade of 19

MACV Advisory Sites. As of 31 October three facilities have been completed, with work in progress at four sites.

a. Personnel: None b. Intellicenca: None c. Operations:

(1) Rock Off-Loading Facilitloa

(a) Observation: Tha shortage of operational cranes in tho '.a'ttalipr. has united the roc!; off-loadinß capability of this unit.

(b) Evaluation: Barges moored at off-loading sites ara normally

sacurad within 15 feat of the pier and can be off-loaded with a SCOOT loadar by

constructing a ranp froa the pier to the bar^e. This unit has constructed a rarap (see attached diagram #1) and utilized the ramp to off-load as mucb as 1,}00 tons in 10 hour pariod (two (2) barges). The ramp is securod to the pier via a pin and plate system (see attached 'ia^ram #2) which allocs the ranp to adjust to the size of tha gap from bar:;e to pier and accor.odatea tha change in tides. The ramp allieviates usin" a crane thus making tba operation depandant on the availability of front loaders. Availability of front loaders

ISG^-OP 10 NTvembor Id* TU3JSCT: Operation«! Report - Leaoons Lituwd (RC" -CSF ORRL) for Ouarterl^»

Perlcsd End Ins 31 October 1965

Is much better than cranes. Off-loading can be acconpllahed twice as fast with a front loader than with a crane and 3/4 yar'- clamaholl attachnent.

(c) Reconnrsndatlon: Thot thl3 expedient ramp or varlationa thore of be utilized at other off-loading facllltlos to Increase rock off-load ir.-' productions.

(2) Substitute of Preservative

(a) Observation: Shorts^o of C£M Conpond (lubricating oil for chain, wire rope, exposed searo), leaves exposed geara without lubrication and susceptible to rust and corroalng.

(b) Evaluation: If exposed gears or enclosed cheers are left with- out lubrication, rust and corrosion can danv03c tho nschlno or even ^oadllna It. The 40 ton crane (P&H Model) has exposed jeara which thla unit coatod with M due to the lack of QW CorApound (FS^ 6C5^-?.7/.\-4ir)9> or a suitable jub- atltute. The GAA. v/aa eaally contaminated with fratcr and extonalac runt «aß

fomed on the ^cara In a few days while the crone was not worklnr. By tryln^ nuntrout lubricants and aaphalt product! It was found that AP3 (Asohnlt Pnnet- rstlon Grad- #3, FS1T 51C-236-4064) worked as well or better than C^J C^oound for lubricating and preaervln,? tha jcars.

(c) Reco.rvsn^atlon: Tha poatltiln uc.-i of A.P3 ^3 a prosorvi.-.^ cm- pound be evaluat'■;.,. a^: higher levol an 1 listo^. as a substitute for C&W Corinound.

(3) Spreading D^-ST

(a) CPoservatlon: Tine and personnel ar^ saved by ellnlnetl.-.t the a^^renate spreader box.

(b) Evaluation: The uao of ICA/LOC 12 ton dump trucks (G'X Diesel with Hell body) oll.ilnatsa the need to use a 8nrca-,.^r box while applylnf7

awSref?ate for bituminous surface treatments. Several time conauninr7, :perations

can be eliminated and five people can bo taken ttaa th^ iob without losin" any effectiveness. Th^. need to couple and uncouple the spreader box frei th^ dump truck, which averages five minutes, is the first advantage to bo realized, Tho spreader box had a capacity of approximately one cubic yard so the dump had to be raised every 25 feet to refill the box. The tlltinf» of the bed. would take three minutes, however, the major diaadvanta^e was that a lar^e quantity of rock apilled out of the spreader boo: due to the difficulty in re- gulating the amount of a^rjregate dumped. Thla would leave humpa of a-^rt^ate that had to be leveled out ty a two-nvin back-up crew. The need to have two

men in the spreader box to Insure an even flow and one man operating the openinr» handle are also eliminated. To spread 12 tons of aggregate using a five ton dump and spreader box would take seven people an average of 45 minutes. Usin", a LOG truck with a driver and guide the same 12 tc.is can be spread in three minutes. Thla is possible since the driver merely tilts the bed, jpens thi tailgate and drives in reverse until the load is ev.ptlcd.

SGFB-OP 10 Noveriber 196> SUBJECT: Operational Rsport - Leflsons Learned (RCT-CSF ORRL) for Quartarly

Period Sad In? 31 October 1S69

(c) Rocoanaodatlon: Utillae the MO\/LOC 12 ton dump trucks for DB3T operations.

(4) D-7 operatlono In rice paddles.

(a) Cbaorvatlon: Operational capa'jllltieo of D-7 dozera In hlo;h moisture content clay Is not significantly Increasoi with the use of wldar

track pads.

(b) Evaluation: Experience has IncllcQtQd that D-7 dozers equipped with the wider track pads had only a slightly larcor capability than the stand- ard width track pac' D-7'3. In addition, It was learned that once the D-7

with wider track pads 30t stock In the wet clay, It was noticeably riore dif- ficult to recover. The effort expended extractlns stuck dozers with wlda track pads easily cancelled any gain In production, and during the tine period the wider tracks were used dally production levels were lower than with rapular tracked equipment.

(c) Recomendatlona: That wldor tmc!'. pads not be usel on D-7 dozers when working oxceoolvely wet clay, Undor slightly drier con'itionc

they should work well.

(5) Crawler mounted cranes with draglines

(a) Observation: Crawler-mounted cranes utilized for dragline operations have a tendency to slide off a wet r:>ad when pulling in the Ärtf* bucket.

(b) Evaluation: While using craw lor-nounted cranes with '!rap, lines to bring fill up on the enbankment, it was found that the cranes ha^ a toir-ency to gradually slide over the edge of the embankment. That is, cs tho drag-

line was pulled in, the crane would slide out. By wcldinr. grouser cleats to

the tracks, the cranes could operate very effectively without slidinr tcward

the rice paddles. The grousers dug Into the road and prevented lateral move- ment. Sketch of grouser pattern is attached as diagram #3.

(c) Racoaaondatlon: When working on wat clay fill, the welding cf grouser cleats to the normally smooth pads of crawler-mounted cranes should

lit considered.

(6) Exterior walls of tropical buildings

(a) Observation: Screen and louver blocks are easier to mount on wall panels while the panels are in a horizontal position.

(b) Evaluation: It was found that screen and louver blocks could

\'2 attached to the wall panels of tropical buildings on the ground after panel

labricatlon. The screen is then rolled out and attach to the panel using the louver blocks.

Period ^nduv* 31 October 1959

(c) Reconneaclatlon: That the application of scroGn an'! louver block« be completed prior to the erection of tho oxterior wall panels.

(7) Renoval of Prefab buildin^g

(a) Obaervation: Screws, nails anc1 bolts have a tendency to be lost following diauantllns of prefab tietal buildings.

(b) Evaluation: It was found during the dlonantlin^ of prefab r-iatal buildings at Done, Tan, RVN, that by the tlrva the buildinps arrived at Vlnh Long, RVN, nany of the screws, nuts, and bolts that were placed in sacks were lost In transit or aisplaced in storage. To alleviat« this possible

loss, each screw, and nut and bolt should be replaced in its proper hole

follcwlnß dlsnantllnn;. Not only will this save all the nuts and bolts, but when the buildings are reassembled there was no loubt as to the proper type of screw or nut and bolt needed for the connection.

(c) Rcconnen'ation: That screws, nuts, and bolts be replace-^ in their proper holes and tightened innediately while dismantling a prefab

building.

(8) Use of Bad Pallets of Lime and Ccnent

(a) Observation: Use of line and cement fron damaged pallets

(b) Evaluation: This unit uses lloa and cement in lar^e qualities. all cenent and line la shipped to Vlnh Lon^ on pallets. Through concimied

handling many pallets and bafs arc txttnalvtly ^'.iß-jod to the point ifbati thoy can not be moved with a fork lift. Srlv^.e oü th^ r^od baps fron tVn G'/t^nslvelv

Managed pallets required construction of P. now :>allot: and physical ptteln^ of the ba^s on the new pallet. IJany of the bftJO an '.raktn but ch3 conBTit -ind lime co^ti'.ned thore-in Is still usable. Kvcn throu h c-/< tul h«*U'!'ilac tilt eonttotl of rr.ost broken ba^s was ai&o lost through sptll3^e and h^dratl^r. To salvage a me.xlnun ol cement and lino fron the broken pallets and ba^s this u^.it cn- sf.ructeci 5 wooden scoop boxes (see attached dla-rca M), which can 7o lifted with a fork lift. The baps both broken and good are hand loaded into the boxes, covered with canvas, and transported to the concrete batch plant in the case of cenent and to the lime tower in the case of lira where they arc used en quickly as possible. It id estimated that 57, of cement and line which would

otherwlae be loat is salvaged through use of the hOR, Another advantage is that the box will contain 120 bags of cement wharo as each pallet will only contain 30 bans.

(c) Recocnandations: Construction of wooden scoop boxes to salvage good line or cement on broken pallets.

(9) Patching Pot Holes

(a) Observations: Use of the 3-10 ton Drier-Mixer Bituninous Concrete provides excellent material to patch pot holes.

EGTE-OP 10 Ncrvenber ISS? SUBJECT: Op«r«tlonal Report - Leasonc learned (RCC-CSF oURL) for QuarCerly

Period Ending 31 October 1969

(b) Evaluation: Patching of pot holes In DBST Is a major problem during the monsoon season In Vietnam. RC800 applied over the failure as a DBST proved completely unsatisfactory even though the surface failure was com-

pletely excavated and squared, filled and recompacted. The patch woulc! not hold over a day or two. This was due to the dally rains, heavy traffic con- ditions, and Inability of the asphalt to set up. A road mix of RCCCO was tried with negative rosulto. The solution was reached through the use of a trailer v.iounted Wylle, drier nlxor bituminous concrete PSM 3895-272-7768, The machine

produced between 5fc7 tons of hot mix asphalt per hour. AP3 (85/1CO) heated

to 275°? was used as tho binding agent. The asphalt patching crew was set up with one 5 ton dump with 3% inch minus ajmragatc ^ullln", an air catpraaoor with

tools to excavate square surface failures and fill and compact tho base • Three 5 ton dumps with vrooden divider down center of each bod, one side of which contained 3/8" aggracate, the other 3/4" agn;rc^ate; The drier nlxer, craw with wheel borrows, rakes and shovels to place and level asphalt in the pre- pared excavation; And a 8-10 ton roller to roll the 3V' aggregate and tho

asphalt. The aggregate was hand shoveled from a 5-ton dump into the drier nlxer at a rate of three shovels of 3/8" and 2 shovels of 3/4" aggregate. The drier mixer is an excellent piece of equipoent and properly maintained and operated will provide 95% availability. All pot holes which have been patched with tha -'rler mixer have lasted through the monsoon season.

(c) RGConnnendatlon: Use the drier mixer to patch surface failures in DBST.

(10) Maintenance of Double Bituminous Surface Treatment

(a) Observation: Maintenance of DBST pavements during the monsoon season In the Vietnam Delta required s great expenditure of work effort.

(b) Evaluation: Prom January to June 1969 this unit widened 10 ktloit "..rjsof National Highway QL-4, utilizing sand fill overlaid with aand- cenent and rock. Road was programed to have 4 inch anphaltic concroto over- lay. However, asphalt plant did not arrive as scheduled and It wao decided to protect the road with DBST until the asphalt plant arrived in late November, The monsoon season In Vinh T.ong started In June an- lasted until Novemlor. The dally rains, great voluae of traffic, and tremsndous wheel loa^o caused failures in the DBST along the entire road. The failures would start with ravelling and cracking and within a matter of days develop into an extonolvc base failure. If not quickly repaired water would enter the base oMtiaQ deep oubbase failures in the underlying clay. Failure in the clay is very difficult to repair and involves excavation In some cases up to 5 foot deep over a 20' to 30 foot area, and filling with compacted select fill. This unit utilized a crew of 14 US and 11 Vietnamese 10 hourn per day S days per week throughout the raining season patching the DBST.
