1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A Standard STI inspection was completed on Tank AST 5 in the VA Medical Center facility located at Martinsburg, WV on 12/02/2020 to meet the required annual and 3 year and annual inspection interval set fourth in the West Virginia Code: CHAPTER 22. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES.ARTICLE 30, and to collect data in order to evaluate the mechanical integrity and fitness for continued service of the tank.

The tank is of a rectangular concrete vault design found to meet or exceed the minimum code requirements of STI SP-001 and the West Virginia code and regulations. This tank is of a UL-142 constructed concrete vault design, due to the configuration and design, no thickness measurements were taken on the tank or nozzles. These thickness measurements should be taken during the next scheduled internal inspection to determine corrosion rate and next inspection intervals. The visual inspection concluded that this concrete vault style tank is fit for continued service.

Tank external nozzles and piping have coating failure present. The tanks nozzles and piping should be cleaned and re-coated as needed to ensure protection against environmental corrosion.

Please refer to the results and recommendation sections of this report for other minor discrepancies and recommendations that were identified during the course of this inspection.
