About this file

This document is an underwater inspection report prepared by Liquivision Technology Diving Services for Eastern Municipal Water District's Oliver Reservoir, conducted on December 8, 2021. The report details a comprehensive diving inspection of a welded steel reservoir with a 6,300,000-gallon capacity, measuring 180 feet in diameter and 33 feet in height. The inspection methodology included full-time voice communication between the diver and surface personnel, disinfection of all equipment with a 200ppm chlorine solution, and live high-resolution color video recording.

The inspection revealed that the reservoir's components were generally in good to excellent condition, with most areas receiving a rust grade between 7 and 9 (indicating minimal corrosion). Specific findings include approximately 1/16" of sediment removed from the floor, 98% of the cathodic protection anode remaining, and minor corrosion observed on various components such as walls, floors, ceilings, vents, and penetrations. The report recommends repairing coating failures on interior fixtures, floors, and walls using specialized two-part epoxy, and suggests performing a regular cleaning, inspection, and repair cycle every 2-3 years to maintain superior water quality and coating condition.

Following is the report of findings during the underwater work conducted on your reservoir.

It will focus on issues of concern or areas that need attention. In order to see a complete and detailed inspection, please view each video.

Color images of all plumbing fixtures, components and areas of concern were taken via underwater digital camera. The images should give you a clear view of the conditions described.

The video may give you another view and a clearer understanding of any area that you may wish to look at more closely.

METHODOLOGY:

Disinfection of All Equipment With 200ppm+ Chlorine Solution Immediately Prior to Entering System: This process prevents contamination of the water supply. All LVT equipment was properly disinfected prior to entering the potable water system.

Full-Time Voice Communication between surface and Diver: The system allowed for constant communication between the diver, and all surface personnel. In addition, customers were able to communicate with the diver at any time. For purposes of a more efficient inspection, cleaning, and repair program, that enabled the diver to immediately discuss any observations he made inside the reservoir.

Full-Time Live High Resolution Color Video: Allowed for constant viewing of the diver's work and observations. This also enabled the district personnel to view what the diver in the reservoir was witnessing.

TERMINOLOGY:

When describing the features or areas of interest inside the reservoir, an image number is placed next to the description that corresponds with the inspection findings. The diagram is shown in a view looking from the top down. The entry hatch is referred to as the 12:00 o’clock position.

Following the diagram are pictures of the pertinent areas of the reservoir and the locations where the pictures were taken. Each picture is descript and numbered.

The standards used to evaluate the condition of the reservoir include: Standard Method of Evaluating Degree of Rusting on Painted Steel Surfaces – SSPC-Vis 2-82 & ASTM D 610-85 NACE Standard RP0196-96 & RP0388-2001 or Condition of Concrete In-service – ACI 201.1R-92.

REFERENCES:

Standard Method of Evaluating Degree of Rusting on Painted Steel Surfaces

– SSPC-Vis 2-82 & ASTM D 610-85 (1989)

The graphical representations show examples of area percentages, which may be helpful in rust grading.

The use of photographical reference standards requires the following precautions:

1. Some finishes are stained by rust. This staining must not be confused with the actual rusting involved.

2. Accumulated dirt or other material may make accurate determination of the degree of rusting difficult.

3. Certain types of deposited dirt that contain iron or iron compounds may cause surface discoloration that should not be mistaken for corrosion.

4. It must be realized that failure may vary over a given area and discretion must therefore be used in applying these reference standards.

5. In evaluating surfaces, consideration shall be given to the color of the finish coating, since failures will be more apparent on a finish that shows color contrast with rust, such as white, than on a similar color, such as iron oxide finish.

6. The photographic reference standards are not required for use of the rust-grade scale since the scale is based upon the percent of the area rusted and any method of assessing area rusted may be used to determine the rust grade.
