GENERAL SUMMARY
Austin Brockenbrough & Associates, LLP (Brockenbrough) was retained by Omaha District USACE under Contract
No. W9128F-12-D-0006 Delivery Order 0029 to perform SPCC Mandated AST/UST Inspections at various locations. As required by this task, Brockenbrough executed a tank inspection site visit to Dobbins Air Reserve
Base located near Marietta, Georgia. An API 653 In-service (external) Inspection was conducted for Facility No.
2015B, locally known as Tank 2, on March 22, 2017. This inspection was performed in accordance with API
Standard 653, “Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction,” and the referenced contract. All observations made during this in-service (external) inspection were made from the exterior of the tank.
Facility 2015B is a 35-foot diameter by 29-foot and 1-inch tall, single wall, vertical, field erected tank with a useable storage capacity of 3,500 barrels of jet fuel (F-24). The tank has a steel double deck internal floating roof and a retrofitted external overhanging corrugated and coated steel (barn) roof. A manufacturer’s data plate was not found. However, facility personnel indicated they believe the tank was constructed in 1954. A 2002 project completion report indicates the repairs completed at that time included replacing the tank bottom; providing an under-tank liner, cathodic protection, and leak detection; providing a 36-inch manhole in the floating roof and a double wiper perimeter seal; replacing the shell manhole with a 36-inch shell manhole; provided internal piping, and an 8-inch aluminum stilling well; and numerous other repairs.
Secondary containment is provided by concrete dike walls and basin. The dike drain was hydrostatically tested during the inspection. The leak detection ports and cathodic protection were also verified during the inspection.
Details of tank construction and appurtenances are included in the Tank Information Table on page 6 and 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 March 2022. The next ultrasonic thickness inspection of the shell should be performed by March 2032. Calculations included in the 2011
Out-of-service Inspection Report indicated the expected service life of the tank bottom exceeds 20 years.
Therefore, and per API 653, the out-of-service inspection interval could have been scheduled for 20 years.
However, the report recommended an inspection interval of 10 years based on the military guidelines applicable at that time. The current UFC 3-460-03 also requires out-of-service inspection to occur at least every 10 years of service. However, an upcoming revision allows the frequency to be extended as determined by a certified API 653 tank inspector. Therefore, an Out-of-service Inspection should be performed by October 2031. This inspection should include an examination of the tank bottom by magnetic flux leakage (MFL or MFE) technology, and a thorough code compliance evaluation.

A. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION
1. API 653 Inspection
This project will perform API 653 Inspections of various tanks at facilities throughout the United States.
Additional consideration is given to federal, state, and local regulations as well as applicable military criteria and general industry standards.
For Tank Facility 2015B, an API Standard 653 In‐service (External) Inspection was performed.
2. Site Information
On March 22, 2017 Brockenbrough performed API 653 In‐Service (External) Inspection of Tank Facility
2015B (Tank 2) located at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, Georgia. Dobbins Air Reserve Base is named in honor of Captain Charles M. Dobbins, a World War II C-47 pilot who died near Sicily. The installation is the home station of the host wing, the 94th Airlift Wing (94 AW) of the Air Force Reserve
Command (AFRC) and its fleet of Hercules C-130 aircraft, and is also the location of the headquarters for AFRC's Twenty-Second Air Force (22 AF). It is also home to the Army Aviation Service Facility #2
(AASF#2) of the Georgia Army National Guard and their fleet of UH-60 Blackhawks. Dobbins is also home to Marine and Navy Reserve units.
3. Future Projects
Facility personnel indicated that there are no future projects affecting the tank.
B. TANK INSPECTION COMMENTS
1. Tank Construction
Tank Facility 2015B is a nominal 5,000 bbl, 35‐foot diameter by 29-foot and 1-inch tall, aboveground, vertical, jet fuel, storage tank. The tank has a steel double deck internal floating roof, and a corrugated and coated steel overhanging external roof. Facility personnel indicated the tank was constructed in
1954. The 2002 Construction Report indicates a cone down, carbon steel, second bottom was installed at that time. Undocumented repairs performed since the 2011 out-of-service inspection report was written, include replacing the internal rolling ladder with a vertical ladder, installing the product return nozzle, and installation of an 8-inch ATG well.
2. Tank Foundation
The original tank bottom rests on what is likely a retrofitted concrete ring wall. The ringwall is flush with the secondary containment basin. A second bottom installed by the shell slotting method, rests on the abandoned portion of the shell approximately 10 inches above the original bottom. Four threaded and capped leak detection ports projecting through the abandoned shell (now foundation) provide leak detection. The foundation ringwall was visually evaluated during the inspection for broken concrete, spalling, cracks, and vegetation against the bottom of the tank. A shell settlement survey was performed during the inspection in accordance with Appendix B of API Standard 653. The shell settlement evaluation indicates the settlement of the bottom of the shell and perimeter of the tank bottom is acceptable.

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 shape of the shell does not appear to be within the allowable tolerances of API Standard 650. The lack of significant shell settlement suggests that tank was built out of round. However, the out of roundness does not seem to have any significant effect on the suitability of the tank for continued service. The coating was evaluated for deterioration. The ultrasonic thickness measurements of the shell and calculations included in Appendix A indicate the shell has more than 30 years of remaining life. The interior and exterior of the shell are coated and the exterior of the shell shows no sign of significant deterioration.
As the tank is used to store oil, deterioration of the interior of the shell since the previous inspection was performed is extremely unlikely. API 653 recommends ultrasonic thickness measurements of the shell be taken at least every 15 years.
4. Tank Appurtenances
a. Tank Roof
The tank’s corrugated and coated steel overhanging external roof is supported by vertical square tubing supports that rest on and are welded to the wind girder. The vertical roof supports also pass through and are welded to the rim angle. Condensation collects in the 1/4-inch gap between the vertical tubing roof supports and the shell, as indicated by the corrosion on the wind girder at the roof supports and on the shell behind the roof supports. The interior of the corrugated roof was examined from the gauging platform. There is some minor coating failure on the roof trusses. No other problems with the roof were noted.
b. Venting
The roof overhangs the shell and provides venting to the interior. The overhang is screened all around. The screens on the roof overhang are improperly installed in many areas and have large gaps.
c. Gauging
The tank’s ATG is manufactured by ITT Barton, and is installed through an 8‐inch full-length slotted gauge well. An adjacent 4-inch, full-length slotted, aluminum gauge well is fitted with a bling flange with two threaded and plugged holes. Manual gauging is performed through an 8-inch, fully slotted, aluminum, stilling well. The tank also has a Varec tape level gauge (autogauge), however, the tape is attached to the floating roof instead of to a float or weight resting on top of the floating roof.
d. Level Alarms
The tank has ATG alarms. The tank also has undocumented shell mounted low-low, low, high, and high-high level alarms. The alarms are noted in the 2011 out-of-service inspection report, but do not appear in the 2002 Final Construction Report. This suggests they were installed between 2002 and 2011. The flanges of the high and high-high level alarms are corroded.
e. Stairs and Platforms
The interior of the overhanging corrugated and coated steel roof is accessible by a circumferential stairway mounted on the shell of the tank. The upper portion of the stairway was extended outward prior to the 2002 repairs to accommodate the high level control valve float chamber that passes though the stairway upper steps. The high level alarms also pass through the stairway upper steps. The method used to extend the steps outward results in many unsealable flat surface-to-flat surface connections where water may collect and promote deterioration. The stairway top platform is inadequately supported on the outer edge and sags, which allows water to collect and to result in corrosion staining on the top of the platform. There is also corrosion on the balusters supporting the upper stairway handrail, which is observable only from the top of the stairs. The circumferential stairway step rise is generally 8 1/2 inches. The rise of the stairway bottom step above ground-level is 14 1/2 inches. OSHA requires the rise of stairway steps to be consistent from ground level to landing.
f. Grounding and Bonding
There are six grounding cables connected to ground lugs welded to the tank shell (foundation) below the second bottom.
5. Tank Coating
The interior appears to be 100% coated. The exterior coating is likely epoxy with a top coat of polyurethane. There is scattered corrosion on the underside of the wind girder. There is coating failure and corrosion on the water draw-off drain and return DBB valves.
6. Tank Piping System
Fuel is received into the tank via aboveground 6-inch aboveground carbon steel piping from the truck off-load stand adjacent to and north of the tank and is issued filtered via 6-inch aboveground carbon steel piping to the adjacent truck fillstand adjacent to and south of the tank. The water draw-off piping is connected by 1-inch stainless steel piping to a product saver tank located near the dike wall shared with the adjacent tank. The Product saver tank is also shared with the adjacent tank. Photographs in the 2011 out-of-service inspection report show the internal water draw-off piping drawing from a shallow (approximately 2 inches deep) tank bottom sump. Since the 2011 inspection, a product return shall nozzle has been installed and the product saver return pump has been connected to the product return shell nozzle by 1-inch stainless steel piping. There is no low suction piping; however, the main suction is near the sump and near to the tank bottom; and it appears the shared product saver tank may be used to transfer the fuel below the main suction to the adjacent tank. The same 1-inch product saver tank piping may be used to test the high level alarms and level control valve. The water draw-off system is unique, is not in accordance with the
DoD AST Standard AW 78-24-27; however, the tank is smaller than the smallest tank in the DoD
AST Standard and the system seems to work well for this size tank.
7. Fire Protection System
There are two fire hydrants within 300 feet of this tank.
8. Secondary Containment
The tank sits within a concrete secondary containment with concrete dike walls and basin. The secondary containment has a locked drain valve for drainage. The water level in the 24-inch diameter dike drain sump decreases less than 1/2-inch per hour with the dike drain valve closed. The secondary containment basin is sloped to a swale approximately 17 feet from the tank and to a drain located northeast of the tank. The receipt piping is routed over the swale north of the tank. The secondary containment was visually evaluated during the inspection. The volume of the secondary containment is sufficient to hold the contents of the tank full to the top of the tank shell as required by NFPA 30 plus more than one foot of freeboard as required by UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 8-14.2.1. There are numerous isolated holes in the secondary containment basin and dike wall expansion joints. The dike access concrete steps are not sealed to the dike wall. Tank bottom to ringwall foundation seal is failed sporadically around half of the tank circumference.
C. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Tank Facility 2015B was found to be in generally fair condition. The tank is fully serviceable, with no mandatory deficiencies that would require immediate removal of the tank from service. However, there were several items observed, that are not in full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations 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, 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.
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, and includes repair recommendations and order of magnitude repair cost estimates. For basis of the cost estimate, it is assumed that the repairs will be completed by local action such as the Reoccurring
Maintenance and Minor Repair program.
a. Replace Overhanging Roof Vent Screens
OBSERVATION The roof overhangs the shell and provides venting to the interior. The overhang is screened all around. The screens on the roof overhang are improperly installed in many areas and have large gaps.
CODE REFERENCE: API 650 paragraph H-5.2.2 requires vent screens with 1/2-inch openings. DoD
Standard Design AW 78-24-27 requires the screen to be corrosion resistant.
RECOMMENDATION: Replace the vent screens on the roof overhang where they are improperly installed and/or have large gaps.
b. Repair the Circumferential Stairway
OBSERVATION: The circumferential stairway platform toeboards are not seal welded to the guardrail posts. The upper portion of the stairway was extended outward prior to the 2002 repairs to accommodate the high level control valve float chamber that passes though the stairway upper steps. The high level alarms also pass through the stairway upper steps. The method used to extend the steps outward results in many unsealable flat surface-to-flat surface connections where water may collect and promote deterioration. The stairway top platform deck plate is inadequately supported on the outer edge and sags, which allows water to collect, and which results in corrosion staining on the top of the platform. The circumferential stairway step rise is generally 8 1/2 inches.
The rise of the stairway bottom step above ground-level is 14 1/2 inches. OSHA requires the rise of stairway steps to be consistent from ground level to landing.
CODE REFERENCE: API 650, paragraph 5.1.3.7(a) and UFC 3-460-01, paragraph 8-11 require tank attachments (appurtenances) to be seal welded to inhibit corrosion streaking. 29 CFR 1910.24 paragraph (f) requires the rise of any flight of stairs to be uniform including at its base.
RECOMMENDATION: Seal weld the circumferential stairway platform toeboards to the guardrail posts. Replace the circumferential stairway upper steps that have been extended. Provide support for the outer edge of the stairway top platform deck plate. Provide a landing and step on the dike basin per OSHA for mounting the circumferential stairway.
c. Seal the Roof Supports to the Shell
OBSERVATION: The tank’s corrugated and coated steel, barn style, overhanging roof is supported by vertical square tubing supports that rest on, and are welded to, the wind girder. The vertical roof supports also pass through, and are welded to, the rim angle. Condensation collects in the 1/4-inch gap between the vertical tubing roof supports and the shell, as indicated by the corrosion on the wind girder at the roof supports and on the shell behind the roof supports.
CODE REFERENCE: API 650, paragraph 5.1.3.7(a) and UFC 3-460-01, paragraph 8-11 require tank attachments (appurtenances) to be seal welded to inhibit corrosion.
RECOMMENDATION: Seal the vertical tubing roof supports to the shell.
d. Repair External Coatings
OBSERVATION: There is corrosion on the wind girder at the roof supports and on the shell behind the roof supports, on the stairway top platform, roof access door, overhanging exposed roof support structure, upper handrail balusters, underside of the wind girder, high and high-high level alarm chamber flanges, and water draw-off drain and return 2-inch DBB valves. There is also corrosion on the conduit at the top and at the bottom of the stairs.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 8-3.10 requires the exterior of tanks to be coated.
RECOMMENDATION: Repair the coatings on the wind girder at the roof supports and on the shell behind the roof supports, on the stairway top platform, upper handrail balusters, underside of the wind girder, and water draw-off drain and return 2-inch DBB valves. Repair the coating on the conduit at the top, and at the bottom, of the stairs.
e. Repair the Secondary Containment
OBSERVATION: There are numerous isolated holes in the secondary containment basin and dike wall expansion joints. The dike access concrete steps are not sealed to the dike wall. The original tank bottom-to-ringwall foundation seal is failed sporadically around half of the tank circumference.
REFERENCE: NFPA 30 paragraph 22.11.2.4 and CFR 112.7(c)(1) require dike areas to be liquid tight.
RECOMMENDATION: Replace the sealant in the secondary containment basin and dike wall expansion joints. Seal the dike access concrete steps to the dike wall. Replace the original tank bottom-to-ringwall foundation seal.
f. Provide Piping Flexibility
OBSERVATION: Caulking at the piping penetrations through the dike wall are torn or disbonded from the piping due to expansion and contraction of piping going straight to the tank without any flexibility allowance.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, paragraph 9-3.3 requires piping to be arranged to provide for expansion and contraction caused by changes in ambient temperature.
RECOMMENDATION: Provide an expansion loop or offset in the product piping inside the dike area.
If there are compression seals behind the caulk, the caulk should be removed to expose the link seals. The piping coatings should be repaired at the dike wall penetrations. If there are no compression seals behind the caulk, they should be provided.
g. Modify Thermal Relief Piping
OBSERVATION: The thermal relief valves (TRVs) on the issue and receipt isolation valves are installed in the horizontal position; the TRV piping includes check valves, and does not have testing tees. There is also no upstream isolation valve on the receipt TRV piping.
CODE REFERENCE: The manufacturers of thermal relief valves recommend installing the valves in the vertical position to avoid trapping debris in the valve seats. UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 9-3.5 requires TRV piping around product piping isolation valves and isolation ball valves on the TRV piping inlet and outlet. UFC 3-460-03, 6-6.3.1 requires TRV testing be performed annually. DoD
Standard Design AW 78-24-27 requires testing tees on thermal relief piping. Check valves are not required with balanced type thermal relief valves.
RECOMMENDATION: Reinstall the issue and receipt thermal relief valves in the vertical position.
Demolish the check valve in the thermal relief valve piping. Provide the thermal relief valve piping with testing tees. Provide an upstream isolation valve for the receipt TRV.
3. 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. Remove Soil and Plants from Dike Area
OBSERVATION: There is soil and plant growth in the dike area.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-406-03, Section 8.10.2 requires regular inspection and removal of debris and vegetation from diked areas.
RECOMMENDATION: Inspect dike areas and remove soil and plant growth from the diked area on a regular basis.
b. Reinstall Bolting
OBSERVATION: Two of the eight all-thread bolts on the receipt nozzle isolation valve flange, penetrate only hallway through the nut. The situation could potentially result in a spill.
CODE REFERENCE: UFGS Specification 33 52 43.13 Aviation Fuel Piping paragraph 2.1.6 and ASME
B31.1 Power Piping paragraph 135.3.4 require bolting to be installed completely through the nut.
RECOMMENDATION: Reinstall the bolting on the receipt nozzle isolation valve flange. Ensure the bolts are installed completely through the nuts.
c. Provide Tank Markings
OBSERVATION: There are no NFPA 704 placards on the tank shell for warning emergency responders of the hazards. There are no confined space labels on the shell manholes. The tank is not labeled with the Tank Number or Facility Number.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 2-18 requires tanks to be labeled with the tank number and facility number. UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 2-18 and NFPA 30 paragraph 21.7.2.1 require tanks be labeled in accordance with NFPA 704 to provide hazard information to emergency responders.
29 CFR 1910.146 (c)(1) (OSHA) requires confined spaces in the work place to be identified by danger signs or by any other equally effective means, of the existence and location of and the danger posed by the permit spaces.
RECOMMENDATION: Provide a hazard warning label in accordance with NFPA 704. Provide signs on the shell manhole covers and on the railing of the internal ladder access platform to warn personnel of the existence and danger of the permit required confined spaces in accordance with OSHA. Label the tank to indicate the Facility Number and Tank Number.
d. Power Wash Stairs
OBSERVATION: There are bird droppings on the circumferential stairway steps.
CODE REFERENCE: API 571 Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment in the Refining Industry, paragraph 4.3.2.3.h) reads, “Bird turds can also cause accelerated corrosion and unsightly stains”.
RECOMMENDATION: Power washing of the stairway should be performed on a regular basis.
4. 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. Provide a Steel Cone Roof and Aluminum Internal Floating Pan
OBSERVATION: The Tank has a steel double deck internal (originally external) floating roof under a retrofitted, overhanging, corrugated and coated barn style roof. Many of the appurtenances listed in UFC 3-460-01 are not possible with this type of roof.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01 and DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27 require an aluminum internal floating pan and a steel cone roof for new construction. Some of the items listed in UFC 3-
460-01, Table 8-1 that are incompatible with the current roof include: roof manhole, inspection hatches, bolted cover for pan installation, water bottom sample well near the sump, and scaffold cable supports.
RECOMMENDATION: Replace the existing steel double deck internal floating roof and overhanging, corrugated and coated, barn style roof, with an aluminum internal floating pan and a steel cone roof.
b. Modify Secondary Containment
OBSERVATION: The secondary containment basin is sloped to a swale approximately 17 feet from the tank. The receipt and issue piping is routed over the swale.
CODE REFERENCE: NFPA 30 requires secondary containment to be sloped away from the tank for a distance of 50 feet or to the dike wall, whichever is less, and away from product piping for a distance of 50 feet.
RECOMMENDATION: Modify the secondary containment and drain to slope way from the tank all the way to the dike wall, and away from the product piping.
c. Provide Upper Shell Manhole
OBSERVATION: There is no upper shell manhole or landing in the circumferential stairway for accessing the top of internal floating roof in high leg position.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01 Table 8-1, Items c and k require a shell manhole above the high position of the internal floating pan and a landing in the circumferential stairway for accessing.
RECOMMENDATION: Provide a shell manhole above the high position of the internal floating roof or new pan and a landing in the circumferential stairway for accessing.
Receipt Piping
Swale
Dike Drain

d. Provide Landing for Accessing Tank Alarms and Controls
OBSERVATION: There is no landing in the circumferential stairway for accessing the level control float or level alarm chambers.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01 Table 8-1, Item k requires new storage tanks to be provided with a spiral stairway top platform for accessing the high level shut-off and alarms.
RECOMMENDATION: Provide a landing in the circumferential stairway for accessing and maintaining the high level shut-off and alarms.
APPENDIX A: ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS AND DRAWINGS
SHELL ROUNDNESS SURVEY AND SETTLEMENT
The shape of the shell appears to exceed the allowable API 650 tolerance of plus or minus 1/2-inch of a new tank shell radius. Based on the circumference of the shell measured near the bottom, the radius of the shell should be
17 feet and 6 inches. However, the measured radii of the shell, varies at the bottom from 17 feet 5 and 1/8 inches in the southwest to 17 feet 8 and 1/4 inches in the northwest. Also, the measured radii of the shell, varies at the top from 17 feet and 5 inches in the southwest to 17 feet 6 and 7/8 inches in the west. The tank bottom and roof should restrain the shell from deflection near the bottom and near the top. That there did not appear to be any significant distortion of the shell, would seem to suggest the tank was built out-of-round. It is noted that the tolerance for out-of-roundness has been included in API 650 since at least before 1993. API 650 1st Edition was published in 1960. However, it has not been until later years that the industry has had the laser surveying technology and methods available to it to measure it in the upper shell courses. It should be noted that API
653,10.5.3 – 3rd Edition (published in 2001), and later editions, allow the shell out-of-roundness (radial deviation), at higher than one foot above a bottom of a reconstructed tank, to be as much as three times greater (1 1/2 inches), a subject not addressed in API 653 prior to the year 2001. As measuring the out-of-roundness using such methods is not normally included in an API 653 Inspection of an existing and not reconstructed tank, and as the out-of-roundness does not appear to be a detriment to the structural integrity of the tank, no action is required or recommended at this time.
