12 Pipe Support Issues Thermal Relief Issues Valve and Flange Seals – Weeps and Leaks Soft Materials – Brass and Bronze Valves and Piping Galvanic Reactions – Dissimilar Metals Soil-Air / Concrete-Air Interfaces Coating Failure Cathodic Protection Issues Common Deficiencies found during site assessments: IMP-POL – Common Deficiencies 12

13 Pipe Support Issues Thermal Relief Issues Secondary Containment Issues Insufficient Fuel Lab Ventilation Corrosion/Coating Failure Lighting Issues Use of Sight Flow Indicators Lack of EFSO Stations Grounding Issues Common Deficiencies found during site assessments: Planning Studies – Issues 13

14   Pipe Support   Thermal Relief   Secondary Containment 3 Most Common Deficiencies 14

15 Issues: Lack of Isolation Pads Concrete Saddles Support failure Temporary Supports Inadequate Support No Lateral Restraint Spring Can Supports Disengaged Deficiency 1 - Pipe Support 15

16 Lacks Isolation Pad   Metal-metal contact Pipe Support 16

17 Concrete Saddle   Concrete-steel contact, moisture collection Pipe Support 17

18 “ Clamshell” anchors   Moisture collection Pipe Support 18

19 Metal Roller Supports   Metal-metal contact Pipe Support 19

20 “Spider” Supports   Corrosion, displaced support Pipe Support 20

21 Improper pipe supports   Lacks Lateral Restraint Pipe Support 21

22 Risks from Undetected/Unaddressed Issues: Excessive pipe movements Pipe or joint failure Equipment and Tank Damage Unintended release Environmental impact System shut down Impact to mission Risks: Pipe Support 22

23 Risk Mitigation Recommendations: Metal to Metal contact – Teflon barriers, pads, pipe collars Concrete saddles – Replace with approved pipe support Support failure – Perform pipe stress analysis and replace Wood support – Replace with approved material Inadequate Support – Replace with appropriate style Owner Impact – Preventative maintenance is less costly than equipment repair/ replacement and potential environmental clean up Risk Mitigation: Pipe Support 23

24 Issues: Insufficient Thermal Relief Cascading Issues Improper Setting Thermal Reliefs Not Tested Closed Isolation Valves   The internal pipe pressure increase resulting from fluid thermal expansion can equal as much as 75 psi for every degree rise in the fuel temperature if not relieved! Deficiency 2 - Thermal Relief 24

25 Risks from Undetected and Unaddressed Issues: Over pressurization of equipment and valves – Costly repairs and replacement Leaking Flanges and Joints – Increased maintenance costs Danger to operators due to high system pressures Potential for catastrophic failure of pipe or components Thermal Relief Risks 25

26 Risk Mitigation Recommendations: Conduct a thermal relief study Change operating procedures – leave relief valve open Owner Impact – Preventative maintenance is less costly than equipment repair/ replacement and potential environmental clean up! Thermal Relief Risk Mitigation 26

27 Regulations: 40 CFR Part 112, NFPA 30, and UFCs Issues: Absence of Secondary Containment Cracks in Containment Concrete Joints Sealant Failure Liner System Problems Lack of Containment Curbs Deficiency 3 – Secondary Containment 27

28 Absence of Containment Over Water   Risk contamination of waterways Secondary Containment 28

29 Absence of Containment at Grade   Risk ground contamination Secondary Containment 29

30 Absence of Containment Below Grade   Risk groundwater contamination Secondary Containment 30

31 Cracks in Containment Concrete   Breach in Containment Secondary Containment 31

32 Joint Sealant Failure   Breach in Containment Secondary Containment 32

33 Liner System Problems   Ineffective Containment Secondary Containment 33

34 Lack of Curbing   Ineffective Containment Secondary Containment 34

35 35 Say What?   Leak Detection Plant Secondary Containment

36 Risks to unaddressed problems: Inability to detect small leaks Inability to contain fuel spills Environmental impact Non-compliance Containment Risks 36

37 Risk Mitigation Recommendations: Repair cracks in concrete Seal joints with jet-fuel resistant sealant Provide adequately sized secondary containment or remote spill containment system Install perimeter curbs on equipment pads/pipe causeway Owner Impact – Preventative maintenance is less costly than equipment repair/ replacement and potential environmental clean up! Containment Risk Mitigation 37

38 Additional Deficiencies: Brass/Bronze Bodied Valves Sight Flow Indicators Soil-Air / Concrete–Air Interfaces Product Labeling Lubricated Swivel Joints Fuel Lab Inadequate Ventilation Coating Failure Dissimilar Metals Inadequate Ground Clearance Additional Deficiencies 38

39 Brass/Bronze Bodied Valves Issue:   Soft bodied valves and piping such as brass, bronze and copper present in fueling system. Risk:   NFPA 30 and 30A - Metals with lower melting point are not to be used in fueling systems. Recommended Mitigation:   Remove and replace with UFC compliant valves and piping.   UFC 3-460-01 - valves are to be CS or SS bodied. 39

40 Sight Flow Indicators Issue:   Sight flow indicator in certain configurations are subject to tank head pressure or system pressure. Risks:   Sight glass failure may cause significant leak   UFC 3-460-01 - Sight flow indicators are not to be provided on thermal relief piping, filtration devices, or product recovery tanks. Recommendation:   Remove sight flow indicators in these configurations and repair the piping. 40

41 Soil - Air Interface Issue:   Piping is not properly coated. Risks:   Deterioration of Extruded Polyethylene (UG pipe coating) coatings due to UV exposure Recommendation:   Expose the soil/air interface, prep and coat 12 inches below grade level and 6 inches above.   Heavy body, surface tolerant epoxy coating   Compatible with polyethylene and the existing aboveground pipe coating. 41

42 Lubricated Swivel Joints Issues:  Lack of proper maintenance/lubrication may cause seized joints  Typically found at Truck Loading / Truck Offloading. (All Products) Risks:  Compromised fuel quality (Aviation Fuel)  UFC 3-460-01: Aluminum or SS non-lubricated swivel joints Recommendation:  Replace with non-lubricated type swivel joints 42

43 Fuel Lab Inadequate Ventilation Issues:  Inadequate ventilation rate  Improper equipment Risks:  Air quality concern  Explosion hazard Recommendation:  Replace with proper fume hood 43

44 Coating Failure Issue:  Coating failure causing pipe corrosion Risks:  Leaks in pipes  Failure at supports. Recommendation:  Clean and recoat  Piping - UFGS Spec Section 09 97 13.27. 44

45 Dissimilar Metals Issues:  Galvanic corrosion Risks:  Failure of bolts  Maintenance issue Recommendation:  Provide isolation flange kit 45

46 Inadequate Ground Clearance Issues:  Piping located too close to grade Risks:  Corrosion  Maintenance issue Recommendation:  Raise piping  18” clearance min 46

47 Conclusion How thorough assessments help Bases/Installations: Identify items with higher risks of failure Recommend Mitigation Plans Reminder of items requiring maintenance and repairs Awareness of funding mechanism A well-qualified consultant is a critical partner in your success ! 47
