Hurlburt Field, FL Tank Inspection Report

Tank No. 91134 Project No.:49-060

TANK INSPECTION REPORT

Tank Name: 91134 Tank Type: Elevated (Pedestal) Location: Hurlburt AFB Tank Capacity: 250,000 gallons State: FL Type of Construction: Steel Built By: Unknown Location:

Year Built: Unknown (Data plate painted over) Inspected By: Eric Boling Inspection Date: 2/22/19

GENERAL SUMMARY

Overall the tank is in fair condition with corrosion at most sharp edges and scattered throughout the tank surface, particularly on roof fixtures, ladders and floor of platforms. Coating system is beginning to show signs of failure with cracking and lifting of the multi-layer coatings throughout the tank surface.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Blast and repaint entirety of tank within next two years to prevent steel loss and protect long term integrity of thetank Blast and clean anchor bolts and area inside bolt enclosures as thoroughly as possible. Re-coat and cover front of enclosurewith welded steel plate with grease fitting. Fill void around bolts with grease for maximum long-term protection.

Install safety grating over valve pit in floor of tank.

Repair or replace lighting through dry access tube of tank.

Seal open holes on platforms with welded steel plates duringnext repaint to remove trip/fall hazard.

Tank No. 91134

Replace wet area ladder and safety climb equipment during next repaint.

Tank No. 91134

STANDARDS

The inspection of the tank was performed with the tank nearly full and no cleaning was performed. The inspection consisted of a visual observation of the tank’s interior (as feasible with water present) and exterior components and coating system. Interior and exterior assessment was documented using digital still photography, representative samples of which are included in the Appendix of this report.

CONDITION OBSERVATIONS

Conditions noted in this report are documented in the following pages and supported by color photographs in the Appendix. Condition ratings used to describe field findings are defined as follows:

Excellent No deficiencies noted.

Good Minor deficiencies noted. Structure is functioning as designed.

Fair Major deficiencies noted. Structure is in need of repair (or replacement) to continue functioning as designed.

Poor Repair or replacement required immediately. Item nolonger functioning as designed

CONTAMINATION, HEALTH & SAFETY REPORT

Contamination & Health Overall Condition: Excellent

Overflow pipe is equipped with screen, gasket and flapper to prevent access for insects All manways and hatches fit properly and wereclosed Roof vent is properly screened to prevent access for insects

Facility Safety Compliance Overall Condition: Fair

Tank is located inside locked, fenced area at secure military site Dry area ladders and safety climb in good condition but require coating replacement within next 1-2 years to avoid replacement.

Wet area ladder is heavily corroded and safety climb equipment has been painted over and is unusable. Both should be replaced at next repaint.

Valve pit in floor of tank has no safety grid over it, creating a fall/trip hazard Platforms have open holes that are a fall/trip hazard.

Tank No. 91134

INTERIOR RESERVOIR INSPECTION REPORT

Interior Reservoir Roof Overall Condition: Poor

Most of ceiling coating in poor condition Ceiling coating has completely failed and ceiling is corroding throughout the tank Undetermined if cathodic protection system is working

Interior Reservoir Walls Overall Condition: Fair

Coating on walls in area of water surface showing consistent corrosion and coating failure Coating on walls throughout showing signs of cracking and beginning to release from steel walls Corrosion is evident on areas of walls below the watersurface

Interior Reservoir Floor Overall Condition: Undetermined

Sediment and corrosion can be seen on floor of bowl, but complete inspection not possible without tank drained.

Interior Reservoir Plumbing Components Overall Condition: Good

Overflow pipe assembly is in good condition with corrosion along piping from water line up.

Interior Riser Overall Condition: Good

Wet side of access tube is in generally good shape with coating in better condition than that of ceiling and walls.

EXTERIOR RESERVOIR INSPECTION REPORT

Exterior Reservoir Roof Overall Condition: Fair

Coating on tank roof is in overall fair condition with scattered spots of minor corrosion, particularly along roof seams. Coating is beginning to crack and lift over the entirety of the tank roof, which will expose steel to the elements if coating is allowed to continue to degrade.

Roof vent is in good condition and is properly screened, but the tank/vent connection seam is showing minor to heavy corrosion around its perimeter.

Cathodic appear sealed but are corroding and staining top of tank

Tank No. 91134

Lip of primary hatch is corroded and should be rehabbed soon.

Tank No. 91134

Exterior Reservoir Walls Overall Condition: Fair

Coating on exterior walls in fair condition with signs of corrosion and/or coating failures Heavier corrosion along all sharp edges (painter’s ring, hatches), which is typical

Exterior Pedestal Overall Condition: Fair

Pedestal is heavily mildewed and coating is starting to crack through to the base metal over the entirety of the exterior of the tank. The coating system has reached the end of its useful tank and needs to be replaced soon to protect the integrity of the tank.

Exterior Plumbing Structures Overall Condition: Good

Overflow pipe assembly in good condition and properly braced. Coating is starting to fail, as evidenced on remainder of tank, but piping is still salvageable.

Overflow splash pad and riprap are adequate and functioning properly.

Foundation Overall Condition: Good

Foundation of pedestal in good condition with minor grout loss between base and foundation Interior of anchor bolt enclosures and threads of anchor bolts have coating failure and corrosion that needs to be addressed.

GENERAL TANK SECURITY

Security Overall Condition: Excellent

Tank is located inside locked, fenced area at secure military site All ladders are inside tank with locked door.

Cathodic Protection System

Type, size, material and # of anodes: Overall Condition: N/A

Present but condition unknown.
