BUCKLEY SPACE FORCE BASE (BSFB)

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Building 430, 433, 435 Pipe Survey Space Base Delta 2

Buckley SFB CO 80011 11 July 2024

1. Introduction and Overview A requirement exists for a survey of Building 430, 433, and 435 Cooling Water Piping at Space Base Delta 2. The purpose of this requirement is to perform a Nondestructive testing (NDT) on the Cooling Water Piping for Buildings 430, 433, and 435 to determine the extent of the internal degradation.

1.1. Background

Large amounts of metal rust flakes have been found lodged in Cooling Towers, Chillers, and Generators that support these buildings. This is indicative of pipe wall thinning brought on by heavy internal corrosion, which the government was made aware of in February 2024. The piping was installed in 1971 and the government does not have Isometric Drawings or the piping system mapped. A limited number of drawings are available. Pictures are included to provide a degree of magnitude; see PWS pages 3 – 9.

The piping consists of insulated sections connected to the Cooling Towers outside, sections underneath grating in the Power Plant that go to the Generators and Chillers, and sections overhead in the Mechanical Room. The piping is approximately 10 inches in diameter for the insulated sections and 8 inches or less for the non-insulated sections. The total length of the piping is approximately 568 feet.

2. Scope Details

a. Test procedure will be determined by the contractor.

b. The contractor performing the survey will mark their survey location with an identifier for future testing.

c. The Contractor performing the pipe survey will hold NDT Level II or III

Certifications.

d. The Contractor will perform a visual inspection of all accessible pipe surfaces outside Building 433, sections underneath the grating inside Building 433, and overhead sections in the Building 430 Mechanical Room.

e. Piping test points will be cleaned in the most mild manner possible.

f. The Contractor will perform Nondestructive testing (NDT) around the full circumference of the piping at various locations.

g. Water must remain flowing in the piping throughout all phases of the inspection.

h. The Contractor will provide the Project Manager with a copy of the

Inspection Report, to include findings, Inspection Data, Calculations (if required), and Photographs.

3. Work Hours

The contractor must be accessible by telephone during business hours (7:30 AM

– 4:30 PM MDT) to respond to questions and unforeseen circumstances that may arise. Contractors may not be accessible by phone when in the RA.
