Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Lesson Learned" report for the "1st GEN PAS DOOR REPAIR" pilot project (ASHE 22-1041). It details the scope of the project, which was to restore the operability of specific doors, acquire maintenance knowledge, and test the Statement of Work (SOW) for future optimization.

The report identifies the "source of issue" as worn or broken spherical roller bearings on manually operated doors, exacerbated by poor lubrication, contamination, and reaching the end of their service life. This led to difficulties in operation and damage to the floor from emergency support rollers.

Key aspects covered include:

• Pilot Project Description: Scope included restoring door operability, acquiring maintenance know-how, and testing the SOW.
• Source of Issue: Worn bearings on 1st GEN PAS doors, leading to operational difficulties and floor damage.
• Lack of Documentation: Difficulty in finding original shop drawings for the doors.
• Item Included in the Pilot SOW: Replacement of parts (hinges, supports, seals), restoration of existing hinges, and addition of lubrication points. It also details the handling and lifting operations, including the use of cranes and temporary support structures.
• Working Inside Airfield Challenges: Considerations for starting the job on time, including military escorts, base passes, airfield driving licenses, TERPS-TACW signing, and site fencing requirements.
• Site Plan and Haul Route: Visuals of the project location and approved routes for equipment.
• List and Locations of 1st GEN PAS in Zulu: An overview map showing the locations of these doors.
