 required for securing the work in place. Sizes, types, and spacing of anchors and bolts
not indicated or specified shall be as required for proper installation.

3.04 TIGHTNESS TESTING

A. A tightness test shall be performed on each aboveground storage tank. The tests shall be
performed prior to making piping connections. Tests shall be capable of detecting a 0.1
gph leak rate from any portion of the tank while accounting for effects of thermal
expansion or contraction. Gauges used in the tightness tests shall have a scale with a
maximum limit of 10 psig. Each storage tank shall be pressurized with air to 5 psig and
monitored for a drop in pressure over a 2-hour period during which there shall be no drop
in pressure in the tank greater than that allowed for pressure variations due to thermal
effects. Leaks discovered during the test shall be repaired in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. The tightness test shall be performed again in the event a
leak is discovered. Tightness testing shall be performed as per the requirements in UL-
142.

This tightness test shall be performed at the factory before the tank is shipped. It shall
also be performed on the tank after it has been set on its permanent foundation at the
Facility.

B. Following the tank tightness testing, each storage tank shall be leak tested in accordance
with the manufacturer’s written test procedure if the manufacturer’s test procedure is
different from the tightness tests already performed. Any test failure shall require
corrective action and retest.

E. Test is to be performed in the presence of the Director’s Representative.

3.05 HIGH LIQUID LEVEL ALARM TEST

A. Each storage tank shall be initially overfilled with the appropriate product in order to
verify that the high liquid level alarms in the remote alarm panel function as designed.
The initial overfill shall stop immediately once the overfill device operates. The
Contractor shall not overfill any storage tank more than the 98 percent level even if the
overfill device does not function as intended. Any problems with the high liquid level
alarm system shall be corrected and the system retested. The system shall be drained
below the high liquid levels following all tests.
