Provide for short-term and long-term planning
Determine scope of work for renovation
After major events.
Powerful storms
Major line breaks that cause sudden emptying of tanks.
Unauthorized access of tank or tank sites.
Obvious signs of compromised sanitary conditions.
Why?- Inspect your tank
Foundation Problems
Incompatible coating systems
Not protecting concrete foundation

Washout Inspection
AWWA M42 “Tanks should be washed out and inspected at least once every 3 years, and where water supplies have sediment problems, annual washouts
are recommended.”

Surface Preparation StandardsMost Common Blast Standards
- SSPC-SP5/NACE 1 White Metal Blast-Removal of everything. 0% Staining allowed
- SSPC-SP10/NACE 2 Near White Metal Blast-Removal of everything. 10% Staining allowed
- SSPC-SP6/NACE 3 Commercial Blast-Removal of everything. 33% Staining allowed

Surface Preparation
FULL FIELD SURFACE PREPARATION
- Imparts angular vs. peened surface profile
- Eliminate oils, greases, mud and other contaminants on the surface from fabrication, transportation and job site staging prior to coating
- Eliminates carbon deposits left from blasting with steel abrasive
- Prime coats becoming hardened and chalked due to extended exposure to UV
