Section 1 Project Information

1.1 Summary

Griffith Engineering Services (GES) performed an API 653 out-of-service (internal and external) inspection of Tank 2 (Facility 10418), at ANGB Bradley Field in Connecticut. This inspection was completed on November 2, 2020 in accordance with API Standard 653, “Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction,” and the referenced contract. Prior to the tank inspection, the floating pan perimeter and penetration seals were removed.

Tank 2 is a 32-foot and 9-inch diameter by 21-foot and 1-inch tall, single wall, vertical, field erected tank with a nominal storage capacity of 2,500 barrels of jet fuel (F-24). The tank has an aluminum internal floating pan. A previous out-of-service (internal) inspection was performed on tank 2 in April 2017 according to the name plate. The tank was originally constructed in 1993 by Witherup Fabrication & Erection Inc. to API 650 standards.

Secondary containment is provided by a concrete dike basin and steel reinforced concrete dike walls.

Details of tank construction and appurtenances are included in the Tank Information Table in Section 1.2.

No mandatory Repairs were identified during the inspection. Additional noted deficiencies are discussed in more detail in Section 3, and should be addressed in a timely manner. Photographs of the deficiencies are also included in Section 3. Additional photographs are included in Appendix D.

The next API Standard 653 In-service (visual external) inspection should be performed by November 2025. The next ultrasonic thickness inspection of the shell should be performed by November 2035.

While the current UFC 3-460-03 requires out-of-service inspection to occur every 10 years of service or as determined by a certified API 653 tank inspector. API would allow the inspection to be performed in 20 years, therefore, we recommend the next API Standard 653 Out-of-service (internal and external) inspection should be performed by April 2037, per the recommendations of the previous out-of-service inspection dated April 2017. This inspection should include an examination of the tank bottom by magnetic flux leakage (MFL or MFE) technology, and a thorough code compliance evaluation.

Section 2 Tank Inspection

2.1 General

Tank 2 is a 32’-9” diameter by 21’-1” tall, Jet Fuel (F-24) aboveground vertical storage tank. The tank was originally constructed in 1993 by Witherup Fabrication & Erection Inc., according to the manufacturer’s nameplate. The tank was built with a cone down bottom, aluminum honeycomb internal floating pan, and a center bottom sump. The interior floating pan was not installed during the inspection.

2.2 Foundation

The tank rests on a concrete ring wall foundation. The foundation was visually evaluated during the inspection. No significant spalling or broken concrete was found. The foundation appeared to be in good condition and acceptable for continued service.

2.3 Bottom

The bottom is constructed of carbon steel of A36. It is a cone down bottom design with a center sump. The tank bottom consists of 16 pie-shaped plates and a new annular ring consisting of 12 plates, butt-welded together and fillet-welded to the shell. The bottom has an epoxy coating, upon which various small coating failures have occurred. Evaluated the bottom, bottom welds, and bottom-to-shell weld for corrosion with no other discrepancies noted. Measured the general thickness throughout the tank bottom utilizing an ultrasonic thickness tester. UTMs of the bottom plate indicate 1/4-inch nominal steel for construction. No areas indicating underside corrosion were located. Thickness measurements are listed in the engineering data in Appendix A.

The bottom does not have a uniform slope down to the sump on approximately 50% of the bottom area. The bottom slopes down from the shell to where the annular plate joins with the existing bottom. At this joint, the bottom slopes upward before again sloping down towards the sump. This creates a ponding area in various locations of the bottom plate to annular ring joint. It is recommended that the bottom be monitored for any leaks or weld cracks during and after the hydro test. It is also recommended that during the next out of service API 653 inspection the bottom be evaluated with close attention to possible coating failures and corrosion and signs of excessive stress in the plates and welds.

2.4 Shell

The tank shell consists of three butt-welded courses. The exterior of the shell appeared to be in good condition. The ultrasonic thickness measurements of the shell and calculations included in Appendix A indicate the shell has more than 20 years of remaining life. The interior and exterior of the shell are coated. Isolated coating failures were found in various locations on the interior and exterior shell. As part of the current project, the interior and exterior of the shell is to be recorded. Areas of repair and new construction were not coated. API 653 recommends ultrasonic thickness measurements of the shell be taken at least every 15 years.

Page | 9

2.5 Roof

The tank has a beam supported, lap welded cone roof. The slope of the fixed roof appears to be approximately ¾:12. Several areas of coating failure and rust were found on the roof plates, but no severe corrosion.

2.6 Appurtenances

a. Internal Floating Pan

The interior floating pan was not installed in the tank during the inspection.

b. Venting

The roof is supplied with a center vent that appears to be in good condition along with 4 large perimeter roof vents.

c. Gauging

A new 6 in. ATG water probe well was installed approximately 3 ft. from the center of the tank. The new probe well appeared to be in good condition and installed properly.

d. Interior Piping & Appurtenances

New interior piping and shell nozzles were installed for the water draw, low suction, fill diffuser and issue nozzles. All new piping was constructed with carbon steel. All new pipe supports for interior piping had been installed per API 650/653 requirements. The new 3” diameter low suction nozzle only projects 4 ½” from the exterior shell to the face of the flange.

API 650 requires a 7” projection for 3” nozzles. Inspector noted that this was done to fit with existing exterior piping and valve. It is recommended that this nozzle be monitored for leaks and weld cracks during and after hydro test and monitored for leaks during operation.

e. Level Alarms

The tank has independent (shell mounted) high, high-high, low, and low-low level alarms.

The alarms appeared to be in good working condition. New fittings were installed as part of this contract and old ones removed and shell plates patched. Work seems to meet API requirements.

f. Stairs, Platforms, and Ladders

The tank’s steel cone roof is accessible by a circumferential stairway mounted on the shell of the tank. The circumferential stairway incudes an intermediate landing for accessing the upper shell manholes floating pan at high leg position and another top landing to access the roof. There is an interior ladder to access the top of the floating roof. The stairway, platforms, and interior ladder are in good condition.

2.7 Coating

No coating was present on areas of repair and new construction. As part of the current project, these areas will be recoated. The interior and exterior coatings otherwise appear to be in good condition.

Page | 10

Section 3 Recommendations

The tank facility was found to be in generally fair condition. The inspector was notified that the tank would be recoated at a later date. The tank is otherwise fully serviceable, with no other deficiencies that would require addressing before the tank is returned to service. There were also several items observed, that are not in full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations or other military criteria.

3.1 Mandatory Repairs Per API 653, UFC 3‐460‐01, or AW 78‐24‐27 Standards

Mandatory repairs represent items that require immediate attention in order to prevent imminent risk to system operators, equipment, or the adjacent environment. The tank would have to be taken out-of-service to complete these repairs. No mandatory repairs are required to be performed.

Page | 11

3.2 Significant Findings & Recommended Repairs

a. Bottom slope

Observation: The bottom does not slope uniformly to the sump at the center of the tank on approximately 50% of the bottom area.

Code Reference: AW 78-24-27 Standards

Recommendation: Monitor bottom plate for leaks and weld cracks during and after hydro test. Evaluate bottom during the next out of service inspection for coating failure and corrosion and signs of excessive stress in the bottom plates and welds.

b. 3” low suction nozzle exterior projection

Observation: Inspector noted the 3” low suction nozzle flange only projects 4 ½” from the shell. API 650 requires a 7” projection from the shell for a 3” nozzle.

Code Reference: API 650/653

Recommendation: Monitor the nozzle for signs of leaking or weld cracks during operation. Inspector noted the nozzle was modified to fit with existing valve and exterior piping.
