Repairs are then conducted on each tank and a follow up inspection validating the completion of repairs is conducted. Scope for each tank is reconciled following the inspection and the scope of work is updated at the direction of the Contracting Officer via a contract modification. Additionally, the pipelines connecting U14, U15 and U16 will be converted from RME to F-76 and will also require a thorough cleaning utilizing alternative methods.įollowing the cleaning of each tank a modified API 653 inspection will be performed on each UST to identify suitability for service and / or repairs required to bring the tank in compliance with codes, specifications and regulations.

The conversion of RME to F-76 presents a difficult challenge to the project team as RME sludge has accumulated over the years and is too viscous for typical removal and requires conventional scrapping the tank by hand. All three (3) of the F-76 tanks (U9, U10 and U11) will be converted to JP-5 service and three (3) of the four Rapeseed Methyl Ester (RME) tanks (U14, U15 and U16) will be converted to F-76 fuel service. Six (6) of the seven (7) tanks will undergo a conversion from the current product to a new product. These 50,000 BBL tanks were initially constructed between 19. The project scope is to clean, inspect and repair (CIR) seven (7) cut and fill underground storage tanks (USTs) at Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) Guam. The project supports a Fiscal Year 2019 Military Construction (FY19 MILCON) project. Gilbane is providing design-build services for a $25.8 million project for NAVFAC EXWC. This Clean, Inspect and Repair (CIR) project is in preparation to support a FY19 MIlcon project
