GENERAL SUMMARY
Austin Brockenbrough & Associates, LLP (Brockenbrough) was retained by Omaha District USACE under Contract No. W9128F-12-D-0006 Delivery Order 00027 to perform API Standard 653 In-Service Inspections. As required by this task, Brockenbrough executed a tank inspection site visit to Barksdale AFB, located at Bossier City, Louisiana.
An API 653 In-Service (visual external) Inspection was conducted for Tank Facility No. 6350.02 (Tank 2) on July 25, 2017. This inspection was performed in accordance with API Standard 653, “Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction,” and the referenced contract. The confined space between the internal floating roof and the fixed roof was not entered during the inspection. All observations made during this in-service (visual external) inspection were made from the exterior of the tank.
Tank Facility 6350.02 is a 32-foot and 9 ½-inch diameter by 39-foot and 4-inch tall, single wall, vertical, field erected tank with a nominal storage capacity of 4,400 barrels of jet fuel (F-24). The tank was fabricated by Woods Tank Inc. in 1998 per the manufacturer’s tank data plate. The tank was last repaired in 2011 by Cape per the tank repair data plate. The list of repairs included installation of a 4-inch and an 8-inch aluminum stilling well and other miscellaneous repairs. Secondary containment is provided by a concrete containment area with vertical concrete dike walls. The tank is built on an elevated concrete ringwall and has two leak detection ports. Since there are no as-built drawings of the tank available at the time of this inspection, the presence of a release prevention barrier could not be determined. Details of tank construction and appurtenances are included in Section ‘B’.
There are no mandatory repairs noted that need immediate attention. Additional noted deficiencies are discussed in more detail in Section ‘C’, and should be addressed in a timely manner. Photographs of the tank are included in Appendix ‘C’.
The next API Standard 653 In-Service (visual external) Inspection should be performed by an API 653 Inspector by July 2022. The last out-of-service inspection was performed in 2011. The report from that inspection indicated the next ultrasonic thickness inspection of the shell be performed by November 2021. However, the remaining life calculations indicate the API 653 recommended 15 year maximum interval is acceptable. Therefore, we recommend the next ultrasonic thickness inspection of the shell be performed by November 2026. While the current version of UFC 3-460-03 requires the next out-of-service inspection occur after 10 years, an upcoming revision allows the frequency to be extended as determined by a certified API 653 tank inspector. As the tank was inspected in 2011, we recommend the next API Standard 653 Out-Of-Service (internal and external) Inspection should be performed by November 2031. This inspection should include an external and internal inspection and include an examination of the tank bottom by magnetic flux leakage (MFL or MFE) technology and an ultrasonic thickness inspection of the tank shell. This inspection should include a thorough code compliance evaluation as well.

B. TANK INSPECTION COMMENTS
1. Tank Construction
Tank Facility 6350.02 is a nominal 4,400 barrel, 32-foot and 9 ½-inch diameter by 39-foot and 4-inch tall, jet fuel (F-24), aboveground vertical storage tank. Per the information on the tank data plate, the tank was constructed in 1998 by Woods Tank Inc. to API 650, 9th Edition design standard. The data stenciled on the manhole indicated that the tank was last taken out-of-service, cleaned, and repaired in
November 2011. The list of repairs included installation of a 4-inch and an 8-inch aluminum stilling well and other miscellaneous repairs.
2. Tank Foundation
The tank rests on a raised concrete ringwall foundation. The foundation was visually evaluated during the inspection for broken concrete, spalling, cracks, and vegetation against the bottom of the tank. The bottom-to-foundation seal has completely failed and will need to be replaced. The tank has two 2-inch tell-tale ports/foundation drains, which suggests that a release prevention barrier (flexible membrane liner) underneath the tank may be present. These drain openings in the foundation were found to be leaking water. A shell settlement survey was performed during the inspection in accordance with
Appendix B of API Standard 653 and was found to be acceptable. Settlement results are listed in
Appendix A.
3. Tank Shell
The vertical and cylindrical shell consists of five butt‐welded courses. The exterior of the shell was visually inspected and evaluated for plumbness, roundness, peaking and banding. The coating was evaluated for deterioration.
4. Tank Appurtenances
a. Tank Roof
The coating system on the tank roof and appurtenances appeared to be in good condition with minor coating failure and corrosion observed on the roof, deck plate, inspection hatches, nozzle flanges, nuts, and bolts, etc. Evidence of water ponding was observed on the roof.
b. Gauging
The tank’s Enraf ATG includes a Vito water probe and is installed through a 12‐inch nozzle with an
8-inch aluminum stilling well on the tank roof. The tank also has a Shand & Jurs tape level gauge whose reading does not align with the Enraf ATG installed on the tank.
c. Level Alarms
There are no independent level alarms present as required by military criteria.
d. Stairs and Platforms
The tank’s fixed steel roof is accessible by a circumferential stairway mounted on the shell of the tank. There are several areas of coating failure and corrosion on the stairway and the platforms.
The bottom stair of the circumferential stairway is approximately 9 inches above the landing.
OSHA requires the rise to be consistent with the rest of the stairs.
e. Grounding and Bonding
There are four grounding cables connected to ground lugs welded to the tank shell.
5. Tank Coating
The interior coating system of the tank is assumed to be epoxy-epoxy-epoxy. The external coating system appeared to be a standard military coating system (epoxy-epoxy-polyurethane). Localized minor coating failure and corrosion was observed on the surface of the circumferential stairway, reinforcing plate weep holes, tank roof and roof appurtenances, etc.
6. Tank Piping System
Fuel is received through a 10‐inch carbon steel piping from the truck off-load and is issued through a
14-inch carbon steel piping to the hydrant systems. The existing thermal relief valve piping on the tank does not have testing tees and includes sight flow indicators.
7. Fire Protection System
There are fire hydrants noted within 300 feet of this tank. There is also an AFFF system that is used as fire suppression as well.
8. Secondary Containment
Secondary containment is provided by vertical concrete dike walls, and was evaluated during the inspection. There was minor cracking in the concrete slabs of the dike, and some minor debris was observed in the containment area. The containment is of sufficient size to contain a total tank loss.
C. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Tank Facility 6350.02 was found to be in generally good condition. The tank is fully serviceable, with no mandatory deficiencies that require addressing prior to return to service. However, there were several items observed that are not in full compliance with federal, state, and local codes or military criteria.
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 integrity, or the adjacent environment. The tank should remain out of service until these repairs are completed. No mandatory repairs are required to be performed.
2. SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS per API 653, UFC 3-460-01, or AW 78-24-27 Standards
The following information identifies the significant findings found during the tank inspection.
a. Repair Coating System on Tank Roof, Roof Appurtenances, Stairway and Associated Piping
OBSERVATION: Localized minor coating failure and corrosion was observed on the surface of the circumferential stairway, tank roof and roof appurtenances, tank issue and receipt piping, etc.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, Section 8-3.10, requires the exterior of fuel storage tanks and appurtenances to be coated.
RECOMMENDATION: Remove corrosion from all isolated areas of deterioration. Clean and prep all the areas that require coating repairs and apply a compatible coating system that meets military criteria. Corroded nuts and bolts should be removed and replaced with corrosion resistant nuts and bolts.
b. Repair Bottom-to-Foundation Seal
OBSERVATION: The tank bottom-to-foundation seal has minor failure in a few areas.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-03, Section 8-4.10 B, requires the seal to be maintained in good working order to prevent corrosion of the underside of the tank bottom.
RECOMMENDATION: Repair the tank bottom-to-foundation seal.
c. Repair Hairline Cracking and Joint Sealant in Dike Containment Area
OBSERVATION: The are several locations where the secondary containment coating or the dike concrete slabs have cracked, and several locations where the joint sealant between slabs has failed.
Cracks in the concrete can create areas where a containment breach could occur without detection, as well as allow vegetation to grow.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, paragraph 8-14.5 requires concrete dikes to resist and contain the full hydrostatic load when filled to capacity, which cracks in the dike may impede. All concrete surfaces in a diked enclosure should be sealed with a flexible, UV-resistant, fuel-resistant coating if required by state or local regulations.
RECOMMENDATION: Repair the cracked concrete areas and seal the exposed joint material to prevent the intrusion of water and degradation of the concrete dike.
d. Repair Hairline Cracks in Concrete Ringwall
OBSERVATION: There are a few hairline cracks in the concrete ringwall.
CODE REFERENCE: API 653, section 4.5.2.2 requires concrete ringwalls showing evidence of cracks or general deterioration to be repaired to prevent water from entering underneath the tank.
RECOMMENDATION: Repair hairline cracks in concrete ringwall to prevent further degradation and cracking of the tank foundation.
e. Repair Weep Holes on Shell Reinforcement Pads
OBSERVATION: The tell-tale holes on the shell reinforcement pads around the tank nozzles are creating rust streaks/stains on the tank shell.
CODE REFERENCE: API 650, sections 5.7.5.1 and 5.7.6.1 require tell-tales on all shell reinforcement pads for leak detection around the nozzles to be open to the atmosphere.
RECOMMENDATION: Remove the grease plugs and repair the corrosion of the tell-tale holes in the reinforcement pads. Install elbowed drain plug for leak detection.
f. Remove Mesh from Circulation and Overflow Vents
OBSERVATION: The roof mounted circulation and shell overflow vents contain fine mesh screens.
Smaller screen openings are more susceptible to clogging or freezing over which could result in tank failure, and inhibit proper ventilation.
CODE REFERENCE: API 650, section H.5.2.2 requires vent screens to have 1/2-inch openings.
RECOMMENDATION: Remove the screens on the vents.
g. Repair Joint Sealant in Ringwall Foundation
OBSERVATION: The joint sealant in the concrete ringwall foundation has failed in several areas.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-03, Section 8-4.3.1 and 8-10.2.1 require all cracks to be cleaned and sealed with a fuel resistant sealant.
RECOMMENDATION: Repair the joint sealant in the concrete ringwall foundation and seal any gaps with a fuel resistant sealant or grout.
3. REPAIRS to Fully Comply with API 653, UFC 3-460-01, or AW 78-24-27 Standards
These items represent repairs and/or upgrades that could be performed to bring the tank into full compliance with current standards, but that do not represent potential risks to system operators, equipment integrity, or the adjacent environment. Our recommendations to perform, or not to perform these repairs and/or upgrades, take into consideration the cost of the repair, the operational benefit of the repairs, the age of the tank/system, operator safety, environmental risks, and equipment integrity.
a. Upgrade Thermal Relief System
OBSERVATION: The existing thermal relief valve piping does not have testing tees and includes sight flow indicators. Also, the coating system on the thermal relief piping and fittings has completely failed.
CODE REFERENCE: AW 78-24-27 requires the thermal relief piping to be equipped with isolation valves and testing tees. UFC 3-460-01, Section 9-3.5.1 does not allow sight flow indicators in thermal relief piping.
RECOMMENDATION: Provide testing tees and remove sight flow indicators from thermal relief piping on the tank issue and receipt piping. Remove and replace pipe coating system on the thermal relief piping.
b. Provide Low and Low-Low Level Alarms
OBSERVATION: This tank does not have low or low-low independent level alarms.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1, Item l requires independent high-high, high, low, and low-low level alarms.
RECOMMENDATION: Install independent low and low-low level alarms.
4. RECOMMENDED REPAIRS as Part of Regular Maintenance
Recommended repairs represent items that should be addressed in a timely manner in order to prevent future potential risks to system operators, equipment integrity, or the adjacent environment.
a. Provide NFPA Hazard Label
OBSERVATION: The tank is not labeled with a NFPA hazard warning label.
CODE REFERENCE: NFPA 30, paragraph 21.7.2.1 requires ASTs to be labeled in accordance with
NFPA 704.
RECOMMENDATION: Provide a new NFPA hazard warning label in accordance with NFPA 704.
b. Monitor Roof Drainage
OBSERVATION: There is evidence of water ponding at the perimeter roof vents. There is no sign currently of coating failure or corrosion.
CODE REFERENCE: DoD AST Standard Design, AW 78-24-27 requires roofs to be sloped to prevent water from ponding to prevent coating deterioration and plate corrosion.
RECOMMENDATION: Monitor the roof to ensure any water that may pond is not causing deterioration of the roof.
c. Monitor Ringwall Foundation Drainage
OBSERVATION: There is water leaking from the concrete ringwall foundation tell-tale ports under the tank. There is no sign currently of coating failure or corrosion as the cathodic protection appears to be functioning properly.
CODE REFERENCE: DoD AST Standard Design, AW 78-24-27 requires tanks to be significantly elevated to ensure that every portion of the tank bottom underside is elevated out of groundwater in order to reduce the risk of bottomside plate corrosion.
RECOMMENDATION: Monitor the cathodic protection system and the ringwall foundation tell-tale ports, and routinely drain the ports.
d. Monitor Dike Drainage
OBSERVATION: There appears to be excessive water accumulation underneath the tank. There is evidence of water ponding near the concrete ringwall foundation tell-tale ports. There is no sign currently of coating failure or corrosion as the cathodic protection appeared to be functioning properly.
CODE REFERENCE: DoD AST Standard Design, AW 78-24-27 requires tanks to be significantly elevated to ensure that every portion of the tank bottom underside is elevated out of groundwater in order to reduce the risk of bottomside plate corrosion.
RECOMMENDATION: Monitor the cathodic protection system and the ringwall foundation tell-tale ports, and routinely drain the ports.

STATUS COMMENTS
C.1.4.4 Level of Floating Roof 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 hang-up. On small diameter tanks, an unlevel condition can indicate unequal loading at that level.
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, a nonlevel roof with possible leaking pontoons.)
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.

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).
