Specifications For Professional Services
Water Tank Commercial Dive Inspection
GENERAL:
We are a professional inspection firm. We will inspect, report and recommend the elements required to bring your water storage tanks into code compliance. The report will provide detailed photographs and cost estimates on all recommended repairs.

STANDARDS:
The inspections, reports, and recommendations will utilize the American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards: AWWAD100, AWWAC652-86 shall be used as the minimum criteria for evaluation of the water storage tank. The coating systems will be evaluated in accordance with the applicable criteria of the Steel Structures Painting Council (SSPC) and the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE). Personnel access areas will be inspected and evaluated in accordance with federal and Occupational Safety & Health Act regulations. Tanks storing water specifically used for fire protection will be evaluated under guidelines specified by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

PREPARATIONS:
A date shall be scheduled by the COORDINATOR for the inspection. The interior inspection will be done by diving and will be concerned with flocculent accumulation, coating condition, corrosion, deterioration, and will note any defects or problems observed. The exterior inspection will be performed from safely accessible locations (without requiring extensive rigging) and will be concerned with coating condition, corrosion, deterioration, and any defects observed will be noted. Our divers will bring experience and innovation to the job site.

DOCUMENTATION:
The findings of the inspection shall be documented by field notes, instrumentation readings and interior videotape. The final report will provide the department personnel with a professional evaluation of the tank’s structural integrity, sanitary integrity, personnel safety features and the condition of the protective coating systems. A comprehensive report including interior videotape shall be included on the structural and mechanical conditions of the interior and exterior.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
The report shall include a proposal of recommended repairs required for each water storage tank. This recommendation shall include material and labor costs so that personnel can balance maintenance requirements with budget constraints. Inspection elements of the water storage tank shall be listed in sequence, how the problem should be corrected and the urgency of the correction.
