Statement of Work Underground Fuel Storage Tanks (UST) Refurbishment Service
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Contractor shall provide the necessary services as defined in this SOW to refurbish/reline two underground fuel storage tanks (USTs) located at the U.S Embassy Housing Compound in Tokyo, Japan. The Contractor shall also install an inventory control and leak detection system for the two relined tanks. The contractor shall follow the US ACE EM-385 requirements for confined space entry (Chapter 34) – please see Section 11.0 Contract Clauses and References in this Statement of Work on page 5 through 12.
2.0 SCOPE of WORK - UST REFURBISHMENT/RELINING
There are two single walled/skinned steel underground fuel storage tanks.
Tank 1 - 28,000 liters used for storing diesel fuel.
Tank 2 – 28,000 liters used for storing diesel fuel.
The scope of services required includes, but is not limited to, the following:
1. Prepare the Site
a. Fence off the working area to disallow any unauthorized personnel from entering the working areas.
b. Shut off all electric current going into the tanks or in proximity to the working area.
c. Place personal safety equipment (including fire protection equipment) readily available around the working area.
d. Empty out the USTs. Diesel fuel shall be transferred from one diesel UST to another. Any excess fuel shall be stored on-site in an approved fuel storage tank. All fuel stored off site shall be put back into the UST after the tanks are relined.
e. Clean all the sludge inside the tanks.
2. Opening of the tank manholes
a. Upon opening of the manholes and prior to any work being performed, the surrounding air quality will be tested for two
Attachment I-1 : Statement or Work parameters: % of lower explosive limit (LEL) and oxygen content.
Before any authorized personnel is cleared to commence work, the LEL must be less than 20% and the oxygen content inside the tank must not be +/- 0.5 % of that of the ambient air.
b. Connect an industrial ventilator to ensure that the working area is receiving fresh air continually and during the duration of all field activities.
3. Degassing and cleaning of the tanks
a. Connect an industrial ventilator and drop it into the tanks. Ensure that the % LEL inside the tanks is also less than 20%.
b. Once most of the fuel and sludge has been removed and the LEL is still under 20%, authorized personnel (confined spaced trained only) will be allowed to enter the tanks cavity to continue cleaning.
c. All personnel that enter the tanks cavity must wear Level B Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and have supplied air with respirator at all times.
4. Examine and prepare tank surface for coating/lining
a. Sandblast the inside of the tanks.
b. Visually inspect the inside of the tanks to determine the areas with the most wear and also locate any possible leaks.
c. Proceed to measure the thickness of the tank walls horizontally and vertically. Any wall area that presents a reduction of 30% or more from its original thickness will be studied in depth. Ultrasonic testing or equivalent shall be used to measure the thickness of the tank walls.
d. Areas that showed significant wall thickness reduction (as specified above) and corners/wedges should be repaired.
5. Relining the inside of the tanks
a. Coat the entire inside of tanks with primer.
b. Apply 2 layers of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) mat/sheet with polyester based resin.
Attachment I-1 : Statement or Work
c. Coat the entire tank with another polyester based resin. This will prevent the tank from future leaks.
