COMDR. GERALD Q. THACKER, CEC, USN Public Works Officer The Public Works Division is the engineering, maintenance and construction organization of the hospital. lt employs I50 civilians, four enlisted men, the Public Works Officer and his assistant. In order that adequate medical care for patients can be assured, it is essential that electricity, heat and water are available at all times and that hospital buildings and equip- ment are kept in a proper, safe working condition. Ambulances and other official motor vehicles must be properly maintained and operated safely. Besides the busy present, there is always the future to plan for. Many weeks each year are spent under the direction of the Public Works Officer in assessing the needs for build- ings and improvements, replacements and major repairs. Each year a submission to the Navy Department must be made of a long range plan for major improvements. Upon this plan depends the money which will be granted by Con- gress to carry out these improvements. During the past two years a Controlled Maintenance Pro- gram has been implemented. Its purpose is to obtain the most maintenance for the least cost. It aims to discover and correct discrepancies while they are still little ones, thus avoiding costly repairs and disruptions of service. This pro- gram requires the constant and energetic effort and coopera- tion of Maintenance Control personnel, supervisors at all levels, and in fact, everyone in Public Works. it PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION The Public Works Division has the following branches: Administrative, Insect and Rodent Control, Maintenance Con- trol, Building, Utility, Grounds, Transportation and Design. All these branches, with the exception of the Administrative and Insect and Rodent Control Branches, are under the direc- tion of the Foreman Mechanic. He is assisted by the Main- tenance Scheduler who schedules work to be done by the shops at a time when men of different trades can be made available and all necessary material is on hand so that jobs can proceed without loss of time. The Administrative Branch provides office services for the division such as stenographic, typing, files and prepara- tion of reports. This branch also administers the hospital safety program. The Insect and Rodent Control Branch is in charge of a Chief Petty Officer who is assisted by two enlisted men. This branch inspects for pests and unsanitary conditions and carries out control measures for pests. The Maintenance Control Branch performs those aspects of the Controlled Maintenance program having to do With. inspecting, planning and estimating and issuing of job orders for work to be performed by the maintenance shops. Records are kept and reports prepared for the purpose of evaluating the maintenance effort. The actual maintenance work on all types of buildings and equipment, grounds and utility systems is performed by the Building, Utility, and Grounds Branches. They also accomplish minor improvements and alterations. Supervisors and artisans in these branches have to be versatile and able in many things besides their primary trades because of the complexity of special hospital equipment. The Building Branch, in charge of a Maintenance Quar- terman, has a Carpenter Section, Electric Section and a Paint Section. The Utility Branch, in charge of a Utilities Quarterman, has a Plumbing Section, Sheetmetal Section, Machine Sec- tion and Heating Plant Section. I45
