Description
The standard for painting steel water storage tanks, AWWA D102, includes as an option a first anniversary inspection to be performed by the tank painting contractor. Also, the Foreword suggests that defective areas be repaired annually. It is the intent of this document to define the requisite qualifications of the inspection agency, the type of inspection to be made and the data considered essential. This standard was reaffirmed without revision Feb. 3, 1979, and Jan. 26, 1986.
