The concrete dike and foundation were observed to have a few small cracks and contained water at the time of inspection. The containment and foundation otherwise appeared to be in satisfactory condition showing no visible signs of major cracking or spalling. Any cracks found greater than 1/16” should be sealed/repaired using sound engineering practices. The integrated steel saddles associated with tanks #1 and #2 were noted to have areas at the top without weld material allowing rainwater intrusion and creating an area where corrosion rates could accel rapidly without notice. There was an electrical outlet attached to the containment wall that was noted being an open circuit and lacking a GFCI.
Containment and Foundation General Conditions
EXTERNAL TANK INSPECTIONS
TANK INSPECTION ULTRASONIC THICKNESS TESTING – TANK #1
The inspector conducted an initial visual inspection of the tank and tank system. The entire circumference of the tank was examined closely. The tank shell courses and heads had no visible signs of any major corrosion or pitting and were sound. Once the visual was conducted, the inspector conducted baseline Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT) on the tank shell and heads to determine the original metal thicknesses.
Readings collected from the tank shell and heads indicated a manufacture thickness of approximately 0.3125” on the shell and heads. The inspector then conducted UTT randomly on the tank shell and heads looking for any deviation in thickness from the baseline readings collected.
Readings collected on the tank shell metal ranged from 0.299” – 0.314”. It was determined that the tank shell metal had no indications of any significant metal thickness loss.
Readings collected on the tank heads metal ranged from 0.312” – 0.315”. It was determined that the tank heads metal had no indications of any significant metal thickness loss.
Overall Evaluation: This tank is in serviceable condition and suitable for continued use after the installation of an emergency vent.
TANK INSPECTION ULTRASONIC THICKNESS TESTING – TANK #2
The inspector conducted an initial visual inspection of the tank and tank system. The entire circumference of the tank was examined closely. The tank shell courses and heads had no visible signs of any major corrosion or pitting and were sound. Once the visual was conducted, the inspector conducted baseline Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT) on the tank shell and heads to determine the original metal thicknesses.
Readings collected from the tank shell and heads indicated a manufacture thickness of approximately 0.3125” on the shell and heads. The inspector then conducted UTT randomly on the tank shell and heads looking for any deviation in thickness from the baseline readings collected.
Readings collected on the tank shell metal ranged from 0.298” – 0.317”. It was determined that the tank shell metal had no indications of any significant metal thickness loss.
Readings collected on the tank heads metal ranged from 0.306” – 0.316”. It was determined that the tank heads metal had no indications of any significant metal thickness loss.
Overall Evaluation: This tank is in serviceable condition and suitable for continued use after the installation of an emergency vent.
TANK INSPECTION ULTRASONIC THICKNESS TESTING – TANK #4
After the external visual inspection of the tank and external piping, valves and floats, the inspector conducted Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT) on the tank shell and heads to determine the original tank metal thickness.
Note that this is a double wall tank, and the primary tank metal could not be accessed for testing. Ultrasonic Thickness Testing was performed on the secondary tank metal only.
Secondary tank readings collected indicated a manufactured wall thickness of approximately 0.1345” on the secondary tank shell metal, and approximately 0.1793” on the tank heads metal. The inspector then conducted UTT randomly on the secondary tank shell and heads metal looking for any deviation in thickness from the baseline readings collected.
Readings on the secondary tank shell metal ranged in thickness from 0.133” – 0.137”. It was determined that the secondary tank shell metal had no indications of any significant metal thickness loss.
Readings on the secondary tank heads metal ranged in thickness from 0.174” – 0.177”. It was determined that the secondary tank heads metal had no indications of any significant metal thickness loss.
Overall Evaluation: This tank is in serviceable condition and suitable for continued use.
Recommendations for Repair:
1. Install Emergency venting on tanks #1 and #2 of adequate size using sound engineering practices.
2. Need to install a natural vent on tank #4.
3. Attach NFPA 704 Placards to the side of tanks #1 and #2 or containment leading to the tanks visible to emergency response personnel.
4. Attach Confined Space Labels on or near each tank entry associated with tanks #1 and #2.
5. Clean and recoat all areas of failed coatings found.

A Mechanical Integrity Inspection following the API-653 Standard guidelines was completed on Tank #3 at the VA Medical Center site located in Hampton, VA on 6/8/2023. This inspection was conducted to collect data in order to evaluate the mechanical integrity and fitness for continued service of the tank.
The shell has areas of coating failure and corrosion nodes about the tank.
Recommendation: Clean areas of coating failure & corrosion nodes and evaluate the extent of wall loss. If within the allowable tolerances, coat as need to restore the tank to 100% coverage. If not within tolerance (below the calculated tmin), have a tank repair company evaluate and outline a repair plan.
The tank does not have an Emergency Vent (EV). Recommendation: Install a 24" Emergency Vent (EV) or as an option, modify the existing 24" roof MW to be fitted with an EV cap (reference App. G).
A UT examination of tank secondary shell components were completed on all accessible surfaces. UT results show no significant wall loss due to general internal corrosion.
