Potable Water Storage Facilities Inspection and Assessment at the Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, Norfolk, Virginia.

Abstract

Each facility was inspected by a team of engineer- and technician-divers using visual, tactile and non-destructive techniques. Ultrasonic thickness readings of three elevated, steel water tanks were taken. The detailed inspection included documentation of the condition of the interior and exterior of the facilities with color photography. Minor repairs are necessary in order to insure the long term serviceability of the structure. Cost estimates for these repairs are included in this report except for the repainting of the interior of the steel tanks. Facility 1553 is a 200,000 gallon, welded steel, elevated water tank. Facility 3266 is a 100,000 gallon, riveted steel, elevated water tank. Facility 3850 is a 200,000 gallon, welded steel, elevated water tank. Facility 3080 is a 250,000 gallon, concrete reservoir. Facility 3081 is a 250,000 gallon, concrete reservoir. Facility NAB 753 is a 1.5 million gallon concrete reservoir. Facility NAB 754 is a 1.5 million-gallon concrete reservoir. A table summarizes the condition of each facility and recommended repairs with associated estimated costs.
