[Response] Since you are with NAVAIR, the requirements will be through the Navy. The old P80 has the facility requirements like Jim referred to. There are also limitations wrt whether the building was just built (MILCON can not be modified for several years - 3/5 - can't remember) and complications if the cost of the modification exceeds 50% of the book value (called PRV). The biggest problem will be whether the footers and building structure can handle the load. The next hurdle will be clearance for the crane, the rigging - don't forget the rigging, and the item you want to lift. Recommend you contact your local NAVFAC office - NAS JAX. The people that support JAX are in building 135, entrance on the flight line end of the building. The Navy Crane Center (NCC - Norfolk) can help write the specs - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. They can be accessed via NAVFAC and if it is over 10 Tons, NCC is a requirement. **  I made 2 mistakes.  First, I assumed BIG overhead crane which may not be the case.  Second, this will have to be officially handled through the base Public Works office.  They rack & stack the projects on base to ensure that the important and funded ones get done.  I hope this wasn't confusing.  If you need additional information or a POC at NAVFAC, give me a call.
