Tank Rehabilitation

• Pre‐Design• 30% Submittal• 90% Submittal• Bid and Construction Phases

Pre‐Design

• TCEQ Annual Reports• Active Engineering• Experienced Inspector• Looking for:

– Regulatory Requirements– Structural Condition– Capacity of Appurtenances– Existing Coatings– Site Challenges

Pre‐Design – Regulatory Requirements

• TCEQ or State Agency– Is Rehab. Maintenance?

• AWWA• OSHA?

– Ladders – Hatches– Confined Space Entry

Pre‐Design –Structural Condition and Capacities

• Structural Condition• Capacities 

– Vents– Overflows

Pre‐Design – Existing Coatings

• Type of Coatings• Condition Assessment

Pre‐Design ‐ Soils and Coatings with Heavy Metals

• Lead, Cadmium and Chromium• Lead

– 5,000 PPM or 0.5% by weight– OSHA 1926.62 “Lead”

• Paint– Total Lead– TCLP Test

• Soils – SPLP Test• Sampling Plan

– Prevailing Winds– Drainage Patterns– Manways

Pre‐Design – Site and Construction Challenges

• Space for Construction• Surrounding Structures• OHE• Pump Stations & Facilities

Coating & Rehab Specifications – The Basics

• Choose Your Words Wisely• If you want it, specify it• Reference Standards Specifically• Meetings and Schedules• Inspection• Owner Standardization

Design Specifications ‐ Coatings

• AWWA D102 “Standard for Coating Steel Water‐Storage Tanks” • Interior & Exterior Systems• Best?

– Project Goals– Budget?

• Coating Manufacturers• Specify:

– Coating by Name and Manufacturer– Minimum & Maximum Mils per Coat– Color (contrasting)

• Logos

Design Specifications – Surface Preparation

• How “clean” the steel is…• Typical for Rehabs

– NACE No. 2/SSPC‐SP 10, Near‐White Metal Blast Cleaning– NACE No. 3/SSPC‐SP 6, Commercial Blast Cleaning– SSPC‐SP 3, Power Tool Cleaning

• Weld Preparation• Abrasives

Specifications – Containment/Dehumidification

• SSPC Technology Guide 6 “Guide for Containing Surface Prepartion Debris Generated During Paint Removal Operations”

• TCEQ 30 TAC Chapter 111.131‐139 “Abrasive Blasting of Water Storage Tanks Performed by Portable Operations”

• Job Specific and Must be Specified• Ventilation• Dehumidification

Construction‐ Soils and Coatings with Heavy Metals

• SSPC Technology Update No. 7 – Sampling During Construction• Sampling• Protection During Construction• Post Construction

– SSPC Technology Guide No. 7 – Disposal– Chain of Custody

Bid Form – Expect the Unexpected

• Supplementary Items– Rafter Replacement– Floor Plate Replacement– Grinding– Pit Filling– Seam Welding– Misc. Steel (ton)

Design – Away from Corrosion

• Avoid– Skip Welding– Inaccessible or hard to reach areas– Gaps– Overlaps (roof plates)– Angles– Dissimilar Metals

• API 653 – Tank Insp., Repair…

Design – Antennas & Electrical

• SCADA & Communication• Conduit Routing

Design – Cathodic Protection

• AWWA Standard D104• NACE SP0388 – Cathodic Protection for Water Storage Tanks• Coordinate with Owner• Performance Specification

Construction – Inspection

• Small Things             Big Problems• Coatings failures and the corrosion that follows can: 

– Cost money…..a lot of it.  – Cause structural failures – Accelerate maintenance schedules

• Special Training  ‐ NACE Coating Inspector Program• How Often

– Resident Representation– Hold‐Point Inspection

Construction – Inspection ‐ Environmental Testing

• Inspector should be checking:– No. 1 and No. 2 ‐ Substrate Surface & Ambient Air Temperature– Relative Humidity & Dew Point– Wind Speed– Sound Level Meter?

• How Often?• Tools

– Thermometer (Infrared or Magnetic)– Digital Hydrometer or Sling Psychrometer– Wind Speed Monitor– Digital Sound Level Meter

Construction – Inspection – Surface Prep. and Profile

• Inspector should be checking:– Prepared steel per SSPC/NACE level specified– Anchor Profile– Weld Preparation– Steel Conditions

• Tools– SSPC‐VIS 1 “Dry Abrasive Blast Cleaning”– SSPC‐VIS 3 “Hand and Power Tool Cleaning”– NACE SP0178 “Plastic Weld Comparator”– Replica Tape or Digital Profile Gauge

Construction – Inspection – Coating Application

• Weather and Changes• Temperature • Coatings and Thinners• Environmental Controls• Application Method• Inspector should be:

– Verifying coatings– Documenting lot numbers– Verifying wet mils

• Tools– Wet Film Thickness Gauge– Dry Film Thickness Gauge

Construction – Inspection – Final

• SSPC‐PA 2 Measurement of Dry Coating Thickness with Magnetic Gages

• Total Dry Film Thickness• Inspector should:

– Document Holidays– Document Mil Readings

• Tools– Dry Film Thickness Gauge– Holiday Tester

• Cathodic Protection

THANK YOU!
