Jct L Market, Diesel Tank, (Faciliti% 11863) , STM13001, Fehritarr% 2020 <br /> 4 . 0 Inspection <br /> 4 . 1 Results : <br /> 4 . 1 . 1 Foundation : <br /> The Diesel Tank is sitting directly on the concrete floor. The tank is supported by two (2 ) <br /> concrete piers . The tank is not secured to the piers by any mechanical means . The <br /> concrete foundation was visually evaluated during the inspection . The foundation appears <br /> to be sufficient to maintain the full load of the tanlc based upon its many years of service <br /> at this location . <br /> 4 . 1 . 2 Containment : <br /> The Diesel Tank is single-walled , and relies on the concrete dike as secondary <br /> containment . The containment floor and dike wall show many signs of shallow transverse <br /> cracking . The dike is full of trash and debris that should be cleaned out . NFPA 30 <br /> 22 . 1 1 . 2 . 5 ( 3 ) states "The distance between the shell of any tank and the toe of the interior <br /> of the dike wall shall not be less than 5 ft ( 1 . 5m ) " . The dike is equipped with a drain . <br /> Only authorized personnel may drain the dike and it must be logged in the SPCC plan . <br /> 4 . 1 . 3 Shell : <br /> The shell is constructed of carbon steel of unknown specification . It is a horizontal <br /> cylindrical design consisting of three ( 3 ) lap-welded courses . The shell exterior was <br /> visually inspected and appears • in satisfactory condition . The coating was inspected for <br /> disbonding , adhesion , deterioration , and discoloration ( Sec Section 4 . 1 . 6 ) . A visual <br /> inspection was conducted over the exterior shell including the shell external welds . No <br /> discrepancies were noted on the welds . The minimum design thickness requirements per <br /> UL- 142 for the tank is 0 . 240" . The UT inspection of the tank revealed no indications that <br /> the wall thickness dropped below the design requirements listed in UL- 142 . Thickness <br /> measurements are listed in the engineering data in Appendix B . <br /> 4 . 1 . 4 Heads : <br /> A visual inspection was conducted over the heads including the head- to - shell weld . No <br /> discrepancies were noted on the welds . The coating was inspected for disbonding, <br /> adhesion , deterioration , and discoloration ( See Section 4 . 1 . 6 ) . The minimum design <br /> thickness requirements per UL- 142 for the tank is 0 . 240 " . The UT inspection of the tank <br /> revealed no indications that the wall thickness dropped below the design requirements <br /> listed in UL.- 142 . Thickness measurements are listed in the engineering data in Appendix <br /> B . <br /> 4 . 1 . 5 Appurtenances : <br /> Inspected and evaluated each tank nozzle in accordance with STI SP- 001 . Evaluated all <br /> nozzles for leaks and corrosion . Normal venting is being provided by a 2 -inch Buckeye <br /> vent . The normal venting shall be at least as large as the filling or withdraw connection <br /> per UL- 142 Table 8 . 2 . The Diesel Tank has a long bolt manway installed for the purpose <br /> of emergency venting . Every aboveground storage tank shall have emergency relief <br /> venting . . . that will relieve excessive internal pressure caused by an exposure to fire <br /> (NFPA 30 22 . 7 . 1 . 1 ) . The Diesel Tank has a Morrison Bros Fig 818 clock gauge for the <br /> purpose of measuring liquid level . Every tank must have a fast response system for <br /> 5 <br />
