It is responsible for maintaining emergency reaction rotary-wing airlift and other National Capital Region contingency response capabilities critical to national security; and for organizing, training, equipping and deploying combat-ready forces for Air and Space Expeditionary Forces.
B. TANK INSPECTION COMMENTS
1. Tank Construction
Tank 2 (Facility 3474) is a welded, steel, single-wall, JET-A (F-24), vertical aboveground storage tank.
The tank was constructed in 2005 by Witherup Fabrication and Erection, Inc. IAW API 650 10th Edition, Revision B. Tank 2 is 31’-0” in diameter and 41’-3” high with a nominal capacity of 5,000 BBL.
Construction drawings were not available for review. The facility possesses strapping charts for the tank. Strapping charts are provided in 1” increments with a separate column for calculating values within 1/16” increments.
2. Tank Foundation
Tank 2 rests on a concrete ring wall foundation. The tank chime-to-ring wall interface is provided with sealant in good overall condition displaying only minor signs cracking and staining. Sealant provided at the tank ring wall-to-containment interface is in poor condition and exhibits signs of voids, cracking, disbondment, and vegetation growth. A settlement evaluation was performed during the inspection. No signs of settlement were noted. See Appendix A for settlements results.
3. Cathodic Protection
The tank is cathodically protected from soil-side corrosion by an ICCP system.
4. Tank Bottom
The tank bottom is of cone-down construction with lap-welded carbon steel plates. The tank bottom was examined using magnetic flux leakage (MFL), ultrasonic thickness testing (UTT), and visual testing
(VT) methods. The MFL bottom scan revealed no indications of top-side or soil-side indications. Five
(5) UTT measurements were taken on each bottom plate. One (1) UTT reading was taken every 2 feet around the tank perimeter within the tank bottom critical zone.
UTT readings revealed no significant metal loss on bottom plates. VT was performed along the bottom plate lap-welds and the bottom-to-shell weld. Coating along the shell-to-bottom weld displays disbondment. Due to possible sweating of the tank during change in temperatures throughout the day, moisture may seep behind the coating and come in contact with the shell-to-bottom weld. VT examination of the shell-to-bottom weld was limited due to the presence and condition of the internal coating. Two (2) anti-rotation cables are attached to the bottom via square-cornered attachments.
Square corners present stress risers that could affect the integrity of the weld. The tank is currently equipped with a 29” diameter, 9” deep center sump. Coating provided for the center sump displays minor signs of failure and deterioration. Widespread pitting was observed throughout the tank bottom.
Maximum pit depth was found to be 0.035”. This value is within the maximum tolerance allowed by
API. At the time of the inspection, pitting was coated and inactive. Pitting may have been limited to impurities and inclusions in the coating, caused by improper application or incorrect surface preparation.
Refer to Drawing 01, “Bottom Layout” for the bottom plate layout and Table 1, “Tank Bottom Ultrasonic
Thickness Readings” and Table 2, “Tank Bottom Critical Zone Ultrasonic Thickness Readings” in
Appendix A for bottom plate UTT readings.
5. Tank Shell
The tank shell is equipped with five (5) butt-welded A-36 MOD steel shell courses. Shell plates were examined using UTT and VT methods. Nine (9) UTT measurements were taken on each plate of the 1st shell course. Nine (9) UTT measurements were taken on the 2nd through 5th shell course using the spiral staircase for access. UTT readings indicated no significant metal loss. The tank shell is not provided with a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) emergency responder diamond. Conduit provided for the HLCV shutoff and visible alarm system is supported along the tank shell via-stitch welded connections. Stitch-welding creates a crevice between the shell and support. Crevice corrosion and weep staining was observed during the inspection at the interstice.
Refer to Drawing 02, “Shell Rollout” and Table 4, “Shell Plate Ultrasonic Thickness Readings” in
Appendix A for the shell plate layout and UTT readings.
6. Fixed Roof
The self-supported fixed roof is of cone-up construction with fully coated lap-welded steel plates. Fixed roof plates were examined using UTT and VT methods. Five (5) UTT measurements were taken on each fixed roof plate. UTT readings indicated no significant metal loss on the fixed roof plates.
Refer to Drawing 03, “Fixed Roof Layout” and Table 5, “Fixed Roof Ultrasonic Thickness Readings” in
Appendix A for plate location and UTT readings.
7. Tank Appurtenances
a. Tank Shell
Shell nozzles consist of three (3) 36” manways, one (1) 8” receipt, two (2) 1 ½” HLCV shut-off switch penetrations, two (2) 1 ½” high level alarm penetrations, two (2) low level alarm (2) penetrations, one (1) 12” main suction, one (1) 4” low suction, and one (1) 1 ½” water draw-off line. Shell nozzles and reinforcement pads were examined using UTT and VT methods. Four (4)
UTT reading were taken on each nozzle with a welded connection in each of four (4) quadrants
(0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°). One (1) UTT reading was taken on each reinforcement pad. UTT readings indicated no significant metal loss. Tell-tale holes provided for reinforcement pads are open to the atmosphere. The main suction and receipt piping is not provided standard military labeling. Crossover piping provided for the receipt and main suction lines are provided with sight flow indicators. Sight flows are no longer used in this application as they present potential leak paths. Coating provided for the main suction and receipt crossover piping, HLA, HHLA, HLCV shutoff, and the LLA displays flaking, corrosion staining, and deterioration. The HLA, HHLA, HLCV, and LLA are provided with threaded connections. The low suction line is provided with a 4” threaded connection proceeding the cam lock connection. UFC limits the use of threaded connections as they may not provide an adequate seal. The water draw-off line is provided with a ball valve at the tank skin location. Double block and bleed (DB&B) valves should always be used at the skin location as a ball valve may not provide adequate isolation during maintenance and inspection activities.
The internal main suction line extends half the tank radius; however, does not turn down towards the tank bottom. Neither the main suction nor low suction piping is provided with U-bolt attachments to limit lateral movement of the internal piping.
Refer to Drawing 02, “Shell Rollout” and Table 6, “Nozzles and Appurtenances” in Appendix A for nozzle location and data.
b. Fixed Roof
Fixed roof nozzles consist of two (2) 2 ½” anti-rotation cables, one (1) 36” manway with an 8” gauge hatch and internal access ladder, one (1) 6” Enraf automatic tank gauge (ATG) with an attached VITO temperature/water probe, one (1) 72” x 24” hatch, two (2) 2 ½” pan ground cables, one (1) 4” cap, one (1) 24” center vent, and one (1) 1 ½” tape level gauge penetration.
Fixed roof nozzles and reinforcement pads were examined using UTT and VT methods. Four (4)
UTT reading were taken on each nozzle with a welded connection in each of four (4) quadrants
(0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°). One (1) UTT reading was taken on each reinforcement pad. UTT readings indicated no significant metal loss on nozzles and associated reinforcement pads. The
Enraf ATG nozzle is equipped with carbon steel bolts that exhibit corrosion. The VITO temperature/water probe is provided in the same stilling well and riser as the Enraf ATG. To accurately gauge water levels within the tank, the VITO temperature/water probe should be placed as close to the tank sump as feasible. A cap located on a 1” pipe extruding the Enraf ATG riser is severely corroded exhibiting surface corrosion with metal loss.
Refer to Drawing 03, “Fixed Roof Layout” and Table 6, “Nozzles and Appurtenances” in
Appendix A for nozzle location and data.
c. Gauging
The tank is provided with an Enraf ATG system for automatic tank gauging. The Enraf ATG has a fill height label stating 33’-0”, while the strapping charts state the safe fill height as 34’-0”. The
Enraf ATG shares the same riser and stilling well as the VITO temperature/water probe. Manual gauging is performed through the gauging hatch located on the fixed roof manway. Neither the
Enraf ATG nor manual gauging hatch stilling wells are fully slotted. Stilling wells provided for the manual gauging hatch and Enraf ATG are attached directly to well guides at the tank bottom.
If the tank begins to settle, this configuration may cause icreased stress at the tank bottom. The tank is provided with a Shand and Jurs float gauge for gauging the tank volume from the ground level.
d. Level Alarms
The tank is equipped with shell-mounted independent level alarms in the high, high-high, low, and low-low level positions. The tank is provided with a HLCV shutoff for overfill protection.
e. Stairs and Platforms
The tank is provided with a spiral staircase with three (3) platforms. The first platform as for access to MW3 and the internal floating roof (IFR). The second platform is for level alarm access and maintenance. The third platform is for access to the fixed roof.
f. Grounding and Bonding
The tank is equipped with four (4) grounding lugs and cables that are in good overall condition with no signs of damage or detachment.
8. Tank Coating
All exterior and internal surfaces of the tank are coated. Coating was in good overall condition with only minor signs of failure located primarily on nozzles, appurtenances, and in the center sump with the exception of the shell-to-bottom weld which displayed disbondment.
9. Fire Protection System
For internal fire protection, Tank 2 is provided with a full contact aluminum honeycomb IFR.
10. Secondary Containment
Tank 2 is located within a concrete containment dike. Control joints for the concrete dike floor exhibit damaged (voids, cracking, disbondment, and vegetation growth) sealant. Minor signs of cracking and spalling were observed throughout the containment dike floor. Based on year of construction of the tank, it could be assumed a flexible membrane liner is provided under the tank containment; however, due to lack of as-built or construction drawings this could not be verified. In the event of a spill, the containment dike can hold approximately 40,000 BBLs. This value is approximately 127% greater than the maximum capacity of the tank.
A leak test was performed by Dark Horse on the containment dike drainage system. The leak test consisted of filling the dike drain to 3 7/16” below the drain grate and holding this volume for approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. At the end of this time interval there was no change in height from the drain grate.
11. Internal Floating Roof
The tank is provided with an aluminum honeycomb (IFR. The IFR was provided with foam log primary and secondary seals. The foam log seals were replaced with a double wiper seal system as part of this inspection. The IFR was examined using VT methods. No gross defects nor damage were noted. The IFR is provided with six (6) support legs. Each support leg is provided with a landing pad that are sealed to the tank bottom. Two (2) mounting clips for the IFR anti-rotation cables are welded directly to the tank bottom and not provided with a fully seal welded base plate.

D. INSPECTION INTERVALS
Intervals between tank inspections (both internal and external) should be determined by the tank service history, corrosion rates, and regulatory requirements. Corrosion rates can only be determined when a comparison is made between measurements taken over an interval of time. In this case, corrosion rates were determined based on the assumed nominal thicknesses and actual thickness measurements taken during this inspection.
1. Routine In-service Inspection
Facility personnel shall perform a visual inspection of the tank exterior surfaces, containment, and associated piping. Gross defects, leaks, shell distortions, signs of settlement, and corrosion should all be monitored along with the foundation condition (including tank chime-to-foundation interface), coating, and appurtenances.
Interval: Monthly
2. External (In-Service) Inspection
An API certified inspector shall perform this inspection every five (5) years or RCA/4N years (where
RCA is the difference between the measured shell thickness and the minimum required thickness and N is the shell corrosion rate) whichever is less. This inspection includes inspection requirements of the routine in-service inspection as well as a visual inspection of the tank grounding system (shunts and cables) for damage.
Interval: Five (5) years; January 2023
3. Ultrasonic Thickness Inspection
An external UT inspection of the tank shell and roof (if applicable) shall be performed by an API certified inspector every fifteen (15) years or RCA/4N, whichever is less. The UT inspection may be performed in conjunction with the external inspection.
Interval: Fifteen (15) years; January 2033
4. Internal (Out-of-Service) Inspection
An API certified inspector shall perform the internal inspection every 20 years or ½ remaining life of the tank bottom, whichever is less. This inspection includes a visual inspection of the tank interior surfaces and associated piping and an evaluation of the tank bottom via NDT methods. Since UFC requires tank cleaning every ten (10) years, it is recommended to perform the next internal inspection at this date to further evaluate the shell-to-bottom weld.
Interval: Ten (10) years; January 2028

APPENDIX B: API 653 CHECKLISTS FOR TANK INSPECTIONS
Tank In-Service Inspection Checklist
Item Completed
X
B.1.1 Foundation a Measure foundation levelness and bottom elevations (see Annex B for extent of measurements).
X
B.1.1.1 Concrete Ring a Inspect for broken concrete, spalling, and cracks, particularly under backup bars used in welding butt-welded annular rings under the shell.
X b Inspect drain openings in ring, back of waterdraw basins and top surface of ring for indications of bottom leakage.
X c Inspect for cavities under foundation and vegetation against bottom of tank. X d Check that runoff rainwater from the shell drains away from tank. X e Check for settlement around perimeter of tank. X
B.1.1.2 Asphalt a Check for settling of tank into asphalt base which would direct runoff rain water under the tank instead of away from it.
N/A b Look for areas where leaching of oil has left rock filler exposed, which indicates hydrocarbon leakage.
N/A
B.1.1.3 Oiled Dirt or Sand a Check for settlement into the base which would direct runoff rain water under the tank rather than away from it.
N/A
B.1.1.4 Rock a
Presence of crushed rock under the steel bottom usually results in severe underside corrosion. Make a note to do additional bottom plate examination (ultrasonic, hammer testing, or turning of coupons) when the tank is out of service.
N/A
B.1.1.5 Site Drainage a Check site for drainage away from the tank and associated piping and manifolds. X b Check operating condition of the dike drains. X
B.1.1.6 Housekeeping a Inspect the area for buildup of trash, vegetation, and other inflammables buildup. X
B.1.1.7 Cathodic Protection a Review cathodic protection potential readings. X
B.1.2 Shells
B.1.2.1 External Visual Inspection a Visually inspect for paint failures, pitting, and corrosion. X
Item Completed
X b Clean off the bottom angle area and inspect for corrosion and thinning on plate and weld.
X c Inspect the bottom-to-foundation seal, if any. X
B.1.2.2 Internal (Floating Roof Tank) a Visually inspect for grooving, corrosion, pitting, and coating failures. N/A
B.1.2.3 Riveted Shell Inspection a Inspect external surface for rivet and seam…
