26-7001 Elevated Water Storage Tank Photos B738.pdf

This document is a photographic attachment to a federal repair solicitation for the Goodfellow Elevated Water Storage Tank (West), Building B738, issued by 17 CES/CEN (Civil Engineering Squadron/Civil Engineering) on August 14, 2026. The photos document the current condition of the water tower as of February 28, 2023, and serve as reference material for potential contractors bidding on the repair work.

The photographs comprehensively catalog infrastructure deficiencies and deterioration throughout the tank system, including rust and corrosion on the flapper mechanism, downspout, and overflow pipe; structural issues with the external lower ladder and exterior ladder showing measurement documentation; compromised fall protection systems; deterioration of catwalk surfaces and sidewall plates; water access hatch damage; roof vent and roof plate degradation with visible perforations and rust staining; failed anode plates; internal water level indicator system deposits; internal plumbing system conditions; and extensive floor plate sediment and debris accumulation (¼"-1" depth with 80% coverage of sandy silt material). Additional images document staining patterns indicating water quality and corrosion issues, cathodic protection system components, wet area sidewall plate deterioration with algae and mineral deposits, and the internal ladder condition showing biofilm growth. These visual reference materials enable bidders to assess the full scope of required repairs and restoration work needed to restore the tank to operational condition.
