GENERAL SUMMARY
Austin Brockenbrough & Associates, LLP (Brockenbrough) was retained by Omaha District USACE under Contract No. W9128F-12-D-0006 Delivery Order No. 0024 to perform API Standard 653 In-Service Inspections. As required by this task, Brockenbrough executed a tank inspection site visit to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, located in Tacoma, Washington. An API 653 In-Service (visual external) Inspection was conducted for Tank Facility 12186 (Tank HT-
3) on March 02, 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 12186 is a 43-foot and 6-inch diameter by 42-foot and 3-inch tall, single wall, vertical, field erected tank with a nominal storage capacity of 10,000 barrels of jet fuel (F-24). The tank was fabricated by Morse Construction Group, Inc. in 2000 to API Standard 650, 9th Edition. Secondary containment is provided by a concrete containment area with sloped concrete dike walls. The tank is built on a buried reinforced concrete ringwall foundation. Since there are no as-built drawings of the tank available at this time, the presence of a release prevention barrier could not be confirmed. However, the four foundation drains suggest that the tank is at least equipped with a concrete slab that could act as a barrier. Also, the tank is equipped with a typical under tank galvanic cathodic protection system. Details of the 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 March 2022. The next ultrasonic thickness inspection of the shell should be performed by March 2032. A previous out-of-service inspection report indicates that the tank was inspected in November 2010. 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. The tank was last inspected in November 2010 and tank bottom thickness calculations from the previous out-of-service inspection report shows 20 years to next inspection. Therefore, we recommend that the next API Standard 653 Out-Of-Service (internal and external) Inspection should be performed by November 2030. 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.

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 12186, an API Standard 653 In‐service (visual external) Inspection was performed.
This inspection also included an ultrasonic inspection of the shell and roof plates, a foundation settlement survey, and a shell roundness assessment.
2. Site Information
On March 02, 2017 Brockenbrough performed an API 653 In‐Service (visual external) Inspection of
Tank Facility 12186 located at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Joint Base Lewis-McChord is a U.S. military installation home to I Corps and 62nd Airlift Wing located 9.1 miles (14.6 km) south-southwest of
Tacoma, Washington under the jurisdiction of the United States Army Joint Base Headquarters, Joint
Base Lewis–McChord. The facility is an amalgamation of the United States Army's Fort Lewis and the
United States Air Force's McChord Air Force Base. Joint Base Lewis–McChord is a training and mobilization center for all services and is the only Army power projection base west of the Rocky
Mountains. The strategic location of the base provides Air Force units with the ability to conduct combat and humanitarian airlift with the C-17 Globemaster III.
B. TANK INSPECTION COMMENTS
1. Tank Construction
Tank Facility 12186 is a nominal 10,000 barrel, 43-foot and 6-inch diameter by 42-foot and 3-inch tall, F-24, aboveground vertical storage tank. Per the information on the tank data plate, the tank was constructed by Morse Construction Group, Inc. to API 650 design standard in 2000.
2. Tank Foundation
The tank rests on a buried reinforced concrete ringwall foundation. Since there are no as-built drawings of the tank available at this time, the presence of a release prevention barrier could not be confirmed. However, the four foundation drains suggest that the tank is at least equipped with a concrete slab that could act as a barrier. The foundation was visually evaluated during the inspection for broken concrete, spalling, cracks, and vegetation against the bottom of the tank. The non-shrink grout underneath the tank appears to have failed and some spalling was observed. Mold and algae growth were found primarily on the tank bottom extension and on the grout. Also, minor vegetation was observed growing against the tank bottom. 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 also evaluated for deterioration.
a. Shell Plumbness, Roundness, Peaking, and Banding
The exterior of the shell was visually inspected and evaluated for plumbness, roundness, peaking and banding.
1) API 650, section 7.5.2 allows a maximum out of plumb of the top of the shell relative to the tank bottom of 1/200 the height of the shell, a difference of 2-1/2 inches for this 42-foot and 3-inch tall tank. The maximum measured out-of-plumbness was 1-3/16 inches away from the center of the tank measured on the north east. The out-of-plumbness of the shell is within the tolerance that is allowed by API 650.
2) The shape of the shell appears to exceed the allowable API Standard 650 tolerance of plus or minus 3/4-inch of shell radius, as measured using laser surveying methods. Based on the circumference of the shell measured near the bottom, the radius of the shell should be 21 feet and 9 inches. However, the measured radius of the shell varies at the bottom from 21 feet and
9-13/16 inches in the north to 21 feet and 8-5/16 inches in the west. Also, the measured radii of the shell, varies near the top from 21 feet and 9-15/16 inches in the northeast and to 21 feet and 8-1/2 inches in northwest. The bottom and top of the shell are only slightly out of tolerance for a new tank. Since the shell did not appear to be significantly distorted and the out-of-roundness does not appear to be detrimental to the structural integrity of the tank, no action is required or recommended at this time.
3) While some minor peaking and banding of the butt-welded shell seams was observed, the peaking and banding appear to be within limits allowed by API 650.
b. Shell Coatings
Minor coating failure and corrosion were observed on the tank bottom extension and on tank anchor bolts. Mold and algae growth were also found primarily on the tank bottom extension, the grout, and upper shell courses. However, the exterior shell coating shows no signs of significant deterioration. As the tank is used to store oil and the interior is coated with epoxy, deterioration of the interior of the shell since the previous inspection was performed is extremely unlikely.
c. Shell Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements
The ultrasonic thickness measurements of the shell indicate the shell has more than 30 years of remaining life. API 653 recommends ultrasonic thickness measurements of the shell be taken at least every 15 years.
4. Tank Appurtenances
a. Tank Roof
The tank is constructed with a self-supported lap-welded fixed cone roof with an internal honeycomb floating pan. The coating system on the tank roof and appurtenances was found to be in good condition.
b. Venting
This tank features a 48-inch diameter primary vent and is equipped with four roof-mounted perimeter vents/inspection hatches. These vent/hatches provide adequate venting capacity based on the size of the tank. However, the perimeter vents/hatches could not be inspected since the safety chain links were painted over the inspection hatch covers and also, the hatch covers were painted shut. The tank is also equipped with four overflow vents attached to the tank shell.
c. Gauging
The tank’s Enraf ATG is installed through an 8-inch nozzle mounted on the tank roof. The tank has a 6-inch manual gauging/sampling well installed through the 36-inch roof manhole. The tank also has a Varec tape level gauge whose reading aligns closely with the Enraf ATG reading. However, heavy condensation in the interior of the Varec sight glass had obscured the level gauge reading.
d. Level Alarms
The low and high level alarm chambers are mounted on the exterior of the tank shell. The tank is equipped with low, high and high-high level alarms independent of the tank gauging system.
e. Stairs and Platforms
The tank’s steel roof is accessible by a circumferential stairway mounted on the shell of the tank.
The coating system on the circumferential stairway appeared to be good condition overall with minor coating failure and corrosion observed on the stairway treads, handrails, and vertical supports. The width and rise of the stairway steps and the height of the handrails appear to be in general compliance with OSHA criteria.
f. 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). Minor coating failure and corrosion were observed on the tank bottom extension, anchor bolts, shell manhole nuts and bolts, etc. There was some mold and algae growth observed on the tank bottom extension and upper shell courses.
6. Tank Piping System
Fuel is received through 8‐inch carbon steel piping from the bulk transfer line and local off-load station and is issued through a 12-inch stainless steel piping to the hydrant loop and adjacent truck fillstands.
7. Fire Protection System
There are two fire hydrants noted within 300 feet of this tank.
8. Secondary Containment
Secondary containment is provided by a concrete containment area with sloped concrete dike walls.
The secondary containment was visually evaluated during the inspection. The top of the earthen secondary containment berm has a flat section of two feet or more and is properly sloped in accordance with NFPA 30. The majority of the joint sealant in the containment area has been replaced recently.
However, due to shortage of funding and weather constraints, this project has been stalled. Organic growth was observed in several locations inside the secondary containment. The containment is of sufficient size to contain a total tank loss.
C. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Tank Facility 12186 was found to be in generally good condition. The tank is fully serviceable. However, there were also 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 and Tank Appurtenances
OBSERVATION: Localized coating failure and corrosion was observed on the tank bottom extension, anchor bolts, shell manhole nuts and bolts, etc. Also, minor coating failure and corrosion observed on the stairway treads, handrails, and vertical supports.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-03, Section 8-3.10, requires the exterior of fuel storage tanks and appurtenances to be coated.
RECOMMENDATION: Remove corrosion from all the isolated areas of deterioration. Clean and prep all the areas that require coating repairs and apply a compatible coating system that meets military criteria. The nuts and bolts should be removed and replaced with corrosion resistant nuts and bolts.
G6CDQASM
Sticky Note POL-MCX: Perform as part of regular maintenance.
b. Replace the Grout under the Tank Bottom Extension
OBSERVATION: The non-shrink grout underneath the tank bottom extension is severely deteriorated and has failed. This grout has cracked and spalled in several locations around the perimeter of the tank.
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: Replace the non-shrink grout underneath the tank bottom extension to comply with DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27 Tank Standards for anchored tank bottom-to-foundation grouting.
c. Replace Joint Sealant within the Containment Area
OBSERVATION: The expansion joint seals within the containment area have deteriorated and failed.
There is a project already in place to replace all the expansion joint sealant within the containment area. The majority of the expansion joint sealant between dike concrete wall slabs have already been replaced as part of this project. However, due to shortage of funding and weather constraints, this project has been stalled.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, 8-14.5 requires reinforced concrete dikes to resist and contain the full hydrostatic load when filled to capacity. Failed joint sealant, cracking and spalls may prevent the full capacity from being contained.
RECOMMENDATION: If the existing project to replace all the expansion joint sealant in the containment area does not move forward, replace all the remaining joint sealant within the dike containment area. Remove and repair the cracked and spalling concrete areas.
POL-MCX: Can be performed as part of regular maintenance.
G6CDQASM
d. Upgrade Thermal Relief Piping
OBSERVATION: The existing thermal relief valve piping on the tank receipt and issue piping do not have testing tees and include sight flow indicators.
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.
e. Replace/Remove Wire Mesh Screens from Center Vent and Perimeter Vents
OBSERVATION: The tank center vent and the four roof-mounted perimeter vents/inspection hatches have wire mesh screens. The perimeter vents have these screens in addition to the larger bird screens. Some of the wire mesh screens have become clogged with debris, especially during recoating operations. This can reduce the tank venting capacity.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, paragraph 8-8.3 b) and Table 8-1, item m) requires open atmospheric vents with bird screens. API 650, H.5.2.2 requires the screens to have 1/2-inch openings.
RECOMMENDATION: Replace the screen on the roof center vent with corrosion resistant screen with
1/2 -inch openings. Remove the fine mesh screens from roof-mounted perimeter vents/inspection hatches and leave the larger bird screens in place.
POL-MCX: Perform as part of regular maintenance.
G6CDQASM
POL-MCX: Wait for next OOS.
f. Repair Roof Perimeter Vent/ Inspection Hatches
OBSERVATION The covers and latches on the four perimeter vents/inspection hatches have been painted shut and therefore, cannot be opened for inspection and maintenance. The safety chain links have been painted over and attached to the hatch covers. Also, the clasps for the safety chain links are corroded and inoperable. This further impedes the opening of the perimeter vents/inspection hatches.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1 Item h and AW 78-24-27 require that the tank roof be provided with four roof inspection hatch/circulation vents.
RECOMMENDATION: Detach the coated safety chain links from the hatch covers. Replace the corroded safety chain link clasps with corrosion resistant clasps. Detach the painted hatch covers, so that the hatches can be opened for inspection and maintenance operations. Repair coating system wherever necessary.
g. Replace the Level Control Valve
OBSERVATION: The 8-inch level control valve is made of aluminum.
CODE REFERENCE: NFPA 30 paragraph 27.4.3 does not allow valves made of low melting point materials. UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 3-6.7 prohibits use of aluminum valves since it is not an API fire-safe valve.
RECOMMENDATION: Replace the 8-inch aluminum level control valve with a cast steel, cast stainless steel, or ductile iron level control valve per UFGS 33 52 43.14.
POL-MCX: Replacement will require draw-down of the pipeline upstream of the skin valve to the previous isolation valve outside the dike area. Does not require tank draw-down.
h. Remove Weep Hole Plugs on Shell Reinforcement Pads
OBSERVATION: The tell-tale holes on the shell reinforcement pads around the tank nozzles are plugged.
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 plugs from the tell-tale holes in the reinforcement pads.
i. Provide Hold-Off Distances at ATG and Sampling/Gauging Hatch
OBSERVATION: There are no hold-off distances painted or stenciled on the ATG or sampling/gauging hatch.
CODE REFERENCE: API 653 In-Service Inspection Checklist, C.1.5.2b.
RECOMMENDATION: Provide stencil indicating the hold-off distances and markings adjacent to or directly on the ATG and sampling/gauging hatch nozzles. Ensure markings are clearly visible to storage tank operators.
POL-MCX: Perform as part of regular maintenance.
G6CDQASM
j. Remove Condensation from Tape Level Gauge
OBSERVATION: There is heavy condensation on the interior of the Varec tape level gauge sight glass, making it difficult to read.
CODE REFERENCE: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: Remove condensation from the interior of the Varec tape level gauge reading window.
k. Repair Roof Manhole Grounding Strap
OBSERVATION: The grounding strap on the roof manhole is damaged.
CODE REFERENCE: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: Repair or replace the grounding strap on the roof manhole.
POL-MCX: Perform as part of regular maintenance.
G6CDQASM
l. Provide Personnel Grounding Strap/Plate
OBSERVATION: The personnel grounding strap at the entrance of the circumferential stairway is missing.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-03, paragraph 2-3.2.1, requires that all personnel shall periodically ground themselves while conducting petroleum fuel handling operations.
RECOMMENDATION: Provide a personnel grounding strap or a grounding plate at the entrance of the circumferential stairway.
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. Provide Upper Shell Manhole, Access Stairway, and Access Platform
OBSERVATION: There is no upper shell manhole or associated stairway platform for accessing the top of the floating pan or the floating pan’s perimeter seals.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1, Item c, and AW 78-24-27 require a shell manhole located above the internal floating pan’s high leg position to aid in venting the tank during cleaning and to provide access to the floating pan’s elastomeric wiper seal. AW 78-24-27 also requires a stairway and platform for accessing the upper shell manhole.
RECOMMENDATION: Provide a shell manhole above the internal floating pan’s high leg position.
Alter the circumferential stair to include a stairway and platform for access to the manhole.
b. Upgrade Water Draw-off Piping
OBSERVATION: The water draw-off piping consists of 3/4-inch pipe with a ball valve at the tank skin.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1 z, requires water draw-off piping to include a 2-inch double block and bleed valve as the tank skin valve.
RECOMMENDATION: Upgrade the water draw-off piping to 2-inch and provide a 2-inch double block and bleed valve at the skin of the tank.
POL-MCX: Leave as is. Modify stairs at high level controls during next OOS.
G6CDQASM
c. Provide Low-low Level Alarm
OBSERVATION: The tank is not provided with a low-low level alarm Independent of the Enraf ATG alarms.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1, Item l requires independent high-high, high, low, and low-low level alarms.
RECOMMENDATION: Provide a low-low level alarm by making modifications to the existing low level alarm chamber.
d. Modify Stairway to Provide Intermediate Landing
OBSERVATION: The is no intermediate landing in the circumferential stairway for accessing the high and high-high level alarms and controls for maintenance and/or testing.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01 Table 8-1, Items k and l; and DoD AW 78-24-27 require an intermediate landing for maintenance and testing of the level alarms and controls.
RECOMMENDATION: Provide an intermediate landing in the circumferential stairway for accessing the level alarms and controls for maintenance and/or testing.
POL-MCX: Wait for next OOS.
G6CDQASM
e. Relocate Overflow Vents
OBSERVATION: One of the overflow vents for the tank is located above the stairway and another vent is located above the receipt nozzle/valves.
CODE REFERENCE: DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27 requires overflow vents to not be placed above stairways and tank receipt/issue nozzles.
RECOMMENDATION: Relocate the overflow vents for the tank in accordance with DoD Standard
Design AW 78-24-27 tank standards.
f. Provide Low Suction Hard Piping
OBSERVATION: The low suction is not hard piped to the main suction.
CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, 3-8, and Table 8-1, Item v, require the low suction to be hard piped to the main suction.
RECOMMENDATION: Hard pipe the low suction to the main suction.

APPENDIX A: ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS AND DRAWINGS
SHELL ROUNDNESS SURVEY & SETTLEMENT
The shape of the shell appears to exceed the allowable API Standard 650 tolerance of plus or minus 3/4-inch of shell radius, as measured using laser surveying methods. Based on the circumference of the shell measured near the bottom, the radius of the shell should be 21 feet and 9 inches. However, the measured radius of the shell varies at the bottom from 21 feet and 9-13/16 inches in the north to 21 feet and 8-5/16 inches in the west. Also, the measured radii of the shell, varies near the top from 21 feet and 9-15/16 inches in the northeast and to 21 feet and
8-1/2 inches in northwest. The bottom and top of the shell are only slightly out of tolerance for a new tank. Since the shell did not appear to be significantly distorted and the out-of-roundness does not appear to be detrimental to the structural integrity of the tank, no action is required or recommended at this time.

SHELL THICKNESS CALCULATIONS
It is noted that because of the way technology has evolved, and as the exact location of the measurements vary, the measured minimum thickness of some of the shell plate may be less than, or even greater than, the previous measured thickness. Additionally, in some cases the measured thickness is greater than the nominal thickness due to steel plate tolerances, which allow plus or minus 30 thousandths of an inch. However, this may not indicate a corrosion rate, unless there is significant coating failure and corrosion, which is unlikely with oil storage. Thinning of coated steel is due to abrasive blasting and not deterioration. Therefore, since the interior and exterior of the shell are coated and the current measurements indicate the same nominal thickness as the previous measurements with no significant deviation, the current corrosion rate is zero. Also, since the remaining thickness is greater than the required thickness, the expected service life is greater than 30 years. Therefore, per API 653 the next ultrasonic thickness inspection of the shell should be performed in 15 years.
