SECTION 13205 - WELDED STEEL WATER STORAGE TANK
PART 1
1.01
GENERAL
SCOPE
A. This section covers the construction of steel water storage ground tank in conformance
with AWWA D-100 “Welded Steel Tanks for Water Storage”, latest edition, including
Section 13 for seismic design. All components shall comply with NSF/NSF61, Drinking
Water System Components – Health Effects in addition to Safe Drinking Water Act.
B. The tank site is not accessible by rail. The access to the site is provided by a private
road owned by the City. The construction of the tank will require re-alignment of an
existing road as shown in the drawings. The Contractor shall complete the construction
of the road re-alignment work before start of construction of the tank.
C. The Owner will not provide electricity or compressed air for the construction of the
reservoir. The Contractor may be able to use the water from the site at the prevailing
rate to be paid to the City. The Contractor will be responsible for installation of the water
meter and temporary piping for the purpose of metering the water used during
construction.
D. This work shall be performed on a design-build basis by an independent tank fabricator /
erector (Contractor). The Contractor shall provide the foundation, steel tank, pipe
connections, man ways, ladders, hatches, vents, water level indicator, and other
appurtenances shown on the drawings and/or included in the specifications. The work to
be performed under these specifications includes, but is not limited to, the design,
fabrication, construction, cleaning, coating, painting, disinfection, and testing of welded
steel ground water storage tanks, including the foundation and all accessories as shown
and specified in the Contract Documents.
E. The tank lining and coating systems are specified in Section 13217. The hydro test and
disinfection of the tank shall conform to Section 13206.
F. The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, tools, supervision, and
incidentals necessary to construct the water storage tanks as shown and specified in the
Contract Documents.
G. The tank shall be vertical, cylindrical, flat-bottom type of all-welded steel construction,
supported on a poured-in-place reinforced-concrete ring foundation. Height of the tank,
steel tank plate thicknesses, foundation details shown on the drawings is the minimum
requirement. The Contractor will re-evaluate the height of the tank to accommodate the
freeboard predicted by the formula in AWWA D100 latest edition using the appropriate
seismic use group as required by the soils report. Should the calculations performed by
the Contractor indicate lower tank height, lower plate thicknesses, or smaller concrete
ring foundation, the Contractor shall supply the tank with the height, plate thicknesses,
and concrete foundation as indicated in the contract documents.
H. All materials used for tank construction shall be new, previously unused and shall comply
with all the requirements of this standard. Copies of the mill test reports shall be
furnished.

The Contractor shall employ the services of a welding supervisor independent of the tank
erection foreman’s jurisdiction. Performing and paying for inspection and testing of welds
shall be by the Contractor and shall be completed before the application of coating and
painting.
C.
Horizontal welding shall be inspected and tested by radiographic testing consistent with

The edges or surfaces of the pieces to be joined by welding shall be prepared by flame
cutting, plasma arc cutting, arc gouging, machining, shearing, grinding or chipping and
shall be cleaned of detrimental oil, grease, scale and rust. The edges of the pieces may
have a protective coating applied to them which need not be removed before they are
welded unless specifically prohibited by the WPS.
E.

Rev.10/13/15
13205-6
Country Club Reservoir
WELDED STEEL WATER STORAGE TANK
SECTION 13205 - WELDED STEEL WATER STORAGE TANK
submerged-arc welding process, gas metal-arc welding process, and/or flux-core metalarc welding process. Plates and component members of the tank shall be assembled
and welded following erection methods which result in a minimum of distortion from weld
shrinkage. The weld metal shall meet or exceed the minimum requirements for visual
inspection in AWWA D100 Section 11.4 and as set forth in the radiographic acceptance
standards of AWWA D100 Section 11.6.10. Surfaces to be welded shall be free from
loose scale, slag, heavy rust, grease, paint and all other foreign material.
F.
The Contractor shall not use an automatic welding machine for vertical welds. Vertical
welds shall be radiographed for 100 percent of their length. Welds not meeting the
acceptance criteria in AWWA D100 shall be repaired and radiographed until
requirements are met.
G.
Automatic Welding Machine: If the Contractor uses an automatic welding machine for the
horizontal welds in the tank shell, the following startup procedure shall be used. After the
first 10-feet of the first pass is welded, the Contractor shall air carbon arc gouge into the
root of the weld to allow the Engineer to visually confirm that full penetration and fusion is
attained. If full penetration and fusion have not been attained, the machine shall be
immediately corrected. The procedure shall be repeated until satisfactory welding is
achieved. Defective welding in the startup area shall be repaired.
H. Roof Welds: Welds in contact with the reservoir contents shall be spot radiographed per
AWWA D100
I.
After reinforcing plate is fitted to the shell, but before the pipe or neck fitting is inserted,
the reinforcing plate shall be seal welded to the shell at the inner and outer edges. Air
pressure shall then be applied to the space between the reinforcing plate and the shell,
and the seal welds tested with solution film.
J.
The Contractor shall use a written procedure for fitting and welding the bottom plates.
Out-of-plane distortion shall not exceed 0.75 percent of the tank radius.
K. Local deviations, such as flat spots, peaked joints, and welding distortion shall be limited
as follows for the shell plates:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Using a horizontal sweep board 36-inches long, the distance from the sweep
board to the shell shall not be greater than 1/2-inch. Flat spots shall be
measured with an external sweep board. Peaked spots shall be measured
with an internal sweep board.
Using a vertical sweep board 36-inches long, banding of horizontal joints
shall not exceed 1/2-inch.
Measurements shall be taken beginning with the first joints that are welded.
Corrections to the fitting and welding procedure shall immediately be made if
the joints are not within the distortion criteria. The Contractor shall submit
corrective procedures for joints that have been welded but are not within the
criteria for distortion.
