About this file

This is a Specification for Dockside Repairs for the USCGC HUDSON (WLIC 801) for Fiscal Year 2026, developed by Erik C Elasik (Rev-0, 15 October 2025). The specification contains fourteen work items detailing comprehensive maintenance and repair requirements for the vessel's tank systems and piping infrastructure.

The work items encompass cleaning and inspection of six potable water tanks (ranging from 1,779 to 3,551 gallons capacity), three ballast tanks (2,506 to 7,102 gallons capacity), two accessible voids (942 gallons each), three fuel and waste tanks (115 to 1,690 gallons capacity), one sewage collection tank (450 gallons capacity), and grey water and sewage piping systems. Key contractor requirements include: tank content removal and proper disposal per Federal, state, and local regulations; interior cleaning to remove sediment, sludge, and biological growth without damaging coatings; visual inspection and completion of Tank and Void Assessment Forms; plug accountability logging for tank vents; tank closure in the presence of Coast Guard inspectors using new gasket materials (ANSI/NSF 61 for potable water tanks, ASTM D1330 for ballast and void tanks, AMS-C-6183 for fuel tanks); renewal of fasteners (100% of nuts and washers for most tanks); post-repair operational testing; and tank disinfection per AWWA C652 standards for potable water systems. Ballast tank work includes 50 ultrasonic thickness measurements and 100 pit-depth measurements. Piping cleaning requires hydrojet cleaning at minimum 2500 psig pressure, borescope inspection, chemical cleaning if necessary (with 96-hour advance plan submittal to Contracting Officer Representative), and leak testing. All work must comply with applicable Coast Guard standards, SFLC specifications, and environmental regulations, with Coast Guard personnel operating all shipboard machinery. Contractors must furnish all protective measures and handle system interferences such as fluid contents, piping, RO system components, pumps, and deck grating.

3.5.4 Using the referenced Coast Guard drawings as guidance, hydro blast the internal surfaces of all of the plumbing drain piping. Hydro blast pressure must be at least 2500 psig at the discharge nozzle in all piping to ensure removal of all salts and scale from piping internal surfaces.

NOTE

Ship’s force will provide an assistant to the Contractor to show the Contractor the location of clean-out connections within the plumbing drain system.

3.5.4.1 Open each of the clean out connections as required to clean and hydro blast all of the internal piping within the system. Catch any fluid that drains from the clean out connections when it is opened and clean up any spills using bleach to disinfect the spill after cleaning.

3.5.4.2 It may be necessary for the Contractor to install additional clean-out connections to access all portions of the plumbing drain system. If additional clean-out connections are needed, a separate specification item in this specification package must be authorized to install additional clean-out connections.

3.5.4.3 Empty and clean all connected grease traps, and dispose of waste in accordance with all Federal laws and regulations.

3.5.4.4 Hydro blast cleaning water may be collected in the ship’s sewage system and disposed of via the ship’s sewage shore tie connections.

3.5.5 Clean until all of the following conditions are met:

• All visible calcium carbonate deposits, solid deposits, grease and build-up are removed from pipe walls.

• Discharge water from the piping being cleaned is free of all visible scale and deposits.

Changes to the chemical cleaning plan as written, need to be approved by the COR (and Facilities).

3.5.6.3 Chemical cleaning waste water disposal. Dispose of all cleaning fluids and debris in accordance with all applicable Federal, state, and local regulations. Remove all unused chemicals from USCG property immediately upon completion of work item. Do not drain any fluids (including fresh water) into any space, bilge, or exterior location.

• Sequence of each location that ensures all piping sections will be cleaned and all foreign debris removed.

• Flush twice the volume of the system cleaned with water to include 3 repeated pH tests between 6 and 8. The flushing water shall be collected and disposed by the Contractor.

3.6 Pumps and valves. The Contractor must replace system tank valve(s) with temporary spool piece(s).

Visually inspect system pumps and valve(s); and submit a CFR. Upon completion of work, reinstall the removed tank valve(s) with new gaskets.

3.7 Gasket renewal. The Contractor must reinstall all removed valves and fittings with new gasket material conforming to applicable referenced drawings.

NOTE

Coast Guard personnel will operate all shipboard machinery and equipment.

3.8 Operational test, post repairs. After completion of work, the Contractor must thoroughly test, in the presence of the Coast Guard Inspector and demonstrate all items or shipboard devices that have been disturbed, used, repaired, altered, or installed to be in satisfactory operating condition. Submit a CFR.

55 (Rev-0)

3.8.1 Leak test. After all system components are reinstalled, the Contractor must test all disturbed piping for leaks, as follows, and submit a CFR:

• Plug all system openings (except the highest) and fill system with water to the point of overflow. Ensure that the water level does not go down (without adding any water) for sufficient time to inspect the entire system (no less than 15 minutes).

• Closely monitor the system for leaks. Repair all leaks detected.

• Repeat test and inspection until no leaks are detected.

3.1.3 Protective measures. The Contractor must furnish and install all protective measures in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 0000, paragraph 3.3.3 (Vessel component, space, and equipment protection).

3.1.4 Interferences. The Contractor must handle all interferences in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 0000, (Interferences). Known interferences include, but are not limited to the following:

• Sewage pumps

• Toilets

CAUTION

Although the Coast Guard prefers pressurized water as the cleaning fluid, the Contractor may propose chemical cleaning as an alternative, providing that the proposed chemical cleaning agent is environmentally safe, suitable for use in marine sewage piping application, and pre-approved by the COR.

The chemicals used in the cleaning (including cleaning chemicals, neutralizing compounds, and defoaming chemicals) must not cause any significant detrimental effects to the sewage piping system or any other system components Due to the fact that system piping has historically been difficult to clean by pressure washing only, chemical cleaning is usually required to successfully complete the cleaning process.
