The primary objectives of the “Seawater Storage Tank Repair Project” is to make necessary repairs to all 7 tanks and apply liners and coatings to specific tanks to prevent further damage and extend the useful life of the tanks. Due to the age of the tanks, some updated safety measure will be implemented. The project scope may include: • Interior and Exterior crack and spalling repairs. • Exterior concrete protective coating. • Interior liner application that has been approve by the Sea Life Team. • Stainless steel ladder access installation. • Stainless steel railing installation.
