About this file
This document is an API 653 Repair Inspection Report for Tank Number 34 at Scott Air Force Base, prepared by the US Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District on 25 August 2022. The comprehensive report details extensive repairs and maintenance performed on the jet fuel storage tank, including installation of a new second bottom with liner and cathodic protection, replacement of spiral stairs, water draw-off system, thermal relief system, grounding systems, and various other component upgrades. Key repairs also involved modifying the low suction line, replacing wiper seals, repairing tank coatings, and conducting a successful hydrostatic test.
The tank, constructed in 1952 by Graver Tank and Manufacturing Co., has a 35-foot diameter, 27'9" shell height, and 4,762-barrel capacity for storing jet fuel (F-24). The inspection report recommends the next in-service inspection occur in 5 years (August 2027), with ultrasonic thickness measurements to be conducted in 13 years (April 2035), and an out-of-service inspection in 10 years (August 2032) to establish corrosion rates for the new tank bottom. The report was prepared by Darrin A. Laughlin, an API 653 Certified Inspector, and concluded that the tank is suitable for return to service following the comprehensive repairs.
