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: AWWA D100, AWWA C652-86 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. SUPERIOR TANK CO., INC. will inspect the exterior and will open the interior roof hatch to access the interior as much as possible. Ultrasonic readings will be taken which measures thickness of metal and any voids in that material. These readings will be taken from the exterior utilizing a calibrated ultrasonic machine on approximately 30+ test points on the shell wall and roof.

DOCUMENTATION:
The findings of the inspection shall be documented by field notes, instrumentation readings and photographs. 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 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.
