We have used a preventive maintenance and deliming program in the past and have found it
beneficial. The deliming of a tank will add a minimum of three additional years to the tanks
useful life.
TSSA recommends that a tank inspection program be in place. We will use this tender as a pilot
to determine the benefits of performing these inspections. Benefits will include finding problems
with tanks and either fixing them or removing them before a major leak occurs.
Tenders have been reviewed by B. Nash, Manager of Customer Relations, and S Rudak, Buyer,
who concur with the above recommendation.
