4.0 Inspection
4.1 Results:
4.1.1 Foundation: The tank sits on a concrete ringwall foundation. There is cathodic protection and leak detection underneath the tank bottom. The foundation was visually evaluated during the inspection for broken concrete, spalling, cracks, and vegetation against the bottom of the tank. Hairline cracks are present in the foundation. In accordance with API 653 Section 4.5.1.2(e), “Temperature cracks (hairline cracks of uniform width) do not seriously affect the strength of the concrete foundation structure; however, these cracks can be potential access points for moisture or water seepage that could eventually result in corrosion of the reinforcing steel.” A settlement survey was performed in accordance with API Standard 653. The results of the survey are available in Appendix A of this report. The foundation appears to be in satisfactory condition.
4.1.2 Containment: The tank sits on a concrete containment floor with sloped concrete dike walls. The containment was measured for size. The size is: Length=103' Width=109' Height=7'.
The containment is equipped with a drain and sump configuration that is covered with grating.
The top of the containment wall is two or more feet in width with proper sloped walls as per NFPA-30 requirements. The containment floor is properly sloped to allow for drainage away from the tank as required by NFPA-30. The containment was visually evaluated during the inspection. Field assessment indicates that the containment is of sufficient size to contain a total tank loss and thus satisfies the requirements of API 653. A formal containment evaluation in accordance with 40 CFR 112 may be required in order to satisfy federal, state, and local requirements. Penetrations through the containment floor for the 12" issue and 10" receipt piping are not properly sealed. Except as noted above, the containment appears to be in satisfactory condition.
4.1.3 Shell: The shell is constructed from carbon steel material of unknown specification.
The shell is a cylindrical design, butt-welded together, consisting of 6 courses. Evaluated the accessible shell welds for corrosion, peaking and banding; they are within the allowable tolerances of API Standard 653. The shell exterior was visually evaluated during the inspection.
The exterior coating was inspected for disbonding, adhesion, deterioration, and discoloration.
The exterior shell coating is in good condition. The shell was evaluated for remaining metal thickness utilizing ultrasonic technology. Thickness measurements are listed in the Engineering Data section in Appendix B. A service life evaluation performed shows the shell with greater than 30 years of remaining life under current conditions. The engineering calculations, as per API Standard 653, for the service life evaluation are shown in Appendix A under “Service Life Evaluation.”
4.1.4 Fixed Roof: The fixed roof is an aluminum geodesic dome with proper screening located at the shell attachment junctures. Fuel personnel reported that the geodesic dome leaks during heavy rainfall.
4.1.5 Internal Floating Roof: The floating roof is constructed from carbon steel of unknown specification. The floating roof is a double decker type. Due to safety considerations, the top of the IFR was not accessed during the inspection. A visual evaluation was performed from the top of the rolling ladder. It appears a vacuum breaker was installed since the last inspection. In addition, the center sump has been plated over. The floating roof was at its highest level during the inspection which severely limited evaluation of the interior shell plates. The floating roof is level, gas free, and appears to be in satisfactory condition.
INTERSPEC, LLC-PROPRIETARY INFORMATION-FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 10
4.1.6 Appurtenances: Inspected and evaluated each tank nozzle in accordance with API Standard 650 and 653. Identified the type and use of each shell nozzle. Measured the nozzle neck thickness on all accessible shell nozzles. Evaluated all nozzle/reinforcement plates for leaks and corrosion, with no discrepancies noted. The tank has a means of grounding via ground straps.
Evaluated the mechanical type level gauge and its operation. The handle on the VAREC mechanical type level gauge is broken. The tank is equipped leak detection under the bottom.
Inspected the spiral stairway. The bottom stair tread is located approximately 22 inches above grade. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.25 states, "Risers shall be uniform throughout the height of the stairway." Inspected the high-level cut out system. Evaluated the high-level alarm systems; see Painting/Insulation section. Evaluated the handrails; their condition is satisfactory. Inspected the platforms and frames for corrosion and structural soundness; their condition is satisfactory.
4.1.7 Painting/Insulation: The tank shell, roof, stairway, piping, and appurtenances are coated. The coating is in good condition on all areas, with the exception of the 1-inch flanges associated with the high-level alarms and at the base of a pontoon hatch on the internal floating roof. See the drawing located in Appendix C. There is also failure of the galvanized zinc coating for the 1-inch conduit connected to the ENRAF system.

Look for areas where leaching of oil has left rock filler exposed, which indicates hydrocarbon leakage.
C.1.1.3 Oiled Dirt or Sand Check for settlement into the base which would direct runoff rain water under the tank rather than away from it.
C.1.1.4 Rock 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.
C.1.1.5 Site Drainage Check site for drainage away from the tank and associated piping and manifolds.
C.1.1 Foundation
Measure foundation levelness and bottom elevations (see Appendix B for extent of measurements).
C.1.1.1 Concrete Ring Inspect for broken concrete, spalling and cracks, particularly under backup bars used in butt welded annular rings under the shell.
Inspect drain openings in ring, back of waterdraw basins and top surface of ring for indications of bottom leakage.
Inspect for cavities under foundation and vegetation against bottom of tank.
Check that runoff rainwater from the shell drains away from the tank.
Check for settlement around perimeter of tank.

C.1.3.6 Mixer Inspect for proper mounting flange and support.
Inspect for leakage.
Inspect condition of power lines and connections to mixer.
C.1.3.7 Swing Lines: Winch Operation Nonfloating. Raise, then lower the swing line with the winch, and check for cable tightness to confirm that swing line lowered properly.
Floating. With tank half full or more, lower the swing line, then let out cable and check if swing has pulled cable tight, indicating that the winch is operating properly.
Indicator. Check that the indicator moves in the proper direction: Floating swing line indicators show a lower level as cable is wound up on the winch. Non-floating swing line indicators show the opposite.
C.1.3.8 Swing Lines: External Guide System
On floating roof tanks, when the roof is in the lowest position, check that no more than two feet of tape are exposed at the end of the tape guide.
Inspect condition of board and legibility of board-type autogauges.
Test freedom of movement of marker and float.
C.1.3.4 Shell-Mounted Sample Station Inspect sample lines for function of valves and plugging of lines, including drain or return-to-tank line.
Check circulation pump for leaks and operating problems.
Test bracing and supports of sample system lines and equipment.
C.1.3.5 Heater (Shell Manway Mounted) Inspect condensate drain for presence of oil indicating leakage.
Check for damage and test the accuracy of temperature indicators.
Check welds on shell-mounted davit clips above valves 6 inches and larger.
C.1.3.3 Autogauge System Inspect autogauge tape guide and lower sheave housing (floating swings) for leaks.
Inspect autogauge head for damage.
Bump the checker on autogauge head for proper movement of tape.
Identify size and construction material of autogauge tape guide (floating roof tanks).
Ask operator if tape tends to hang up during tank roof movement (floating roof tanks).
Compare actual product level to the reading on the autogauge (maximum variation is 2 inches).
Inspect sealing of insulation around manways and nozzles.
Check for inadequate manway flange and cover thickness on mixer manways.
C.1.3.2 Tank Piping Manifolds Inspect manifold piping, flanges, and valves for leaks.
Inspect fire fighting system components.
Check for anchored piping which would be hazardous to the tank shell or bottom connections during earth movement.
Check for adequate thermal pressure relief of piping to the tank.
Check operation of regulators for tanks with purge gas systems.
Check sample connections for leaks and for proper valve operation.
C.1.3 Shell Appurtenances
C.1.3.1 Manways and Nozzles Inspect for cracks or signs of leakage on weld joints at nozzles, manways, and reinforcing plates.
Inspect for shell plate dimpling around nozzles, caused by excessive pipe deflection.
Inspect for flange leaks and leaks around bolting.

Measure and record annular space at 30 foot spacing (minimum of 4 quadrants) around roof and record. Measurements should be taken in directly opposite pairs.
Check if seal fabric on primary shoe seals is pulling shoes away from shell (fabric not wide enough).
Inspect fabric for deterioration, holes, tears, and cracks.
Inspect visible metallic parts for corrosion and wear.
Inspect for openings in seals that would permit vapor emissions.
Inspect for protruding bolt or rivet heads against the shell.
Pull both primary and secondary seal systems back all around the shell to check their operation.
Inspect secondary seals for signs of buckling or indications that their angle with the shell is too shallow.
Inspect wedge-type wiper seals for flexibility, resilience, cracks and tears.
At several locations, measure distance from roof rim to a horizontal weld seam above the roof. A variance in the readings indicates a nonlevel roof with possible shell out-of-round, out-of-plumb, leaking pontoons or hangup. On small diameter tanks, an unlevel condition can indicate unequal loading at that level.
C.1.4.5 Gas Test Internal Floating Roof Test for explosive gas on top of the internal floating roof. Readings could indicate a leaking roof, leaking seal system or inadequate ventilation of the area above the internal floating roof.
C.1.4.6 Roof Insulation Visually inspect for cracks or leaks in the insulation weather coat where runoff rain water could penetrate the insulation.
Inspect for wet insulation under the weather coat.
Remove small test sections of insulation and check roof deck for corrosion and holes near the edge of the insulated area.
C.1.4.7 Floating Roof Seal Systems Inspect the condition of the seal, measure and record maximum rim spaces and seal-to-shell gaps around the full roof circumference at the level of inspection (Note: Inspection of the seal and measurement of the rim spaces and seal-to-shell gaps at more than one level may be necessary to more fully determine if any problems exist at other levels of tank operation)
Target should indicate direction of swing opening (up or down) and height above bottom where suction will be lost with swing on bottom support.
C.1.4 Roofs
C.1.4.1 Deck Plate Internal Corrosion For safety, before accessing the roof, check with ultrasonic instrument or lightly use a ball peen hammer to test the deck plate near the edge of the roof for thinning. (Corrosion normally attacks the deck plate at the edge of a fixed roof and at the rafters in the center of the roof first.)
C.1.4.2 Deck Plate External Corrosion Visually inspect for paint failure, holes, pitting, and corrosion product on the roof deck.
C.1.4.3 Roof Deck Drainage Look for indication of standing water. (Significant sagging of fixed roof deck indicates potential rafter failure. Large standing water areas on a floating roof indicate inadequate drainage design or, if to one side, an unlevel roof with possible leaking pontoons).
C.1.4.4 Level of Floating Roof
C.1.3.9 Swing Lines: Identify Ballast Varying Need Check for significant difference in stock specific gravity.
