5-4installation inspection and particular work specifications

5-4-1 Subject
The first objective of the inspection is to get, at a given time, the complete representation of the
anticorrosive level of protection of a part or the full installation
The second objective is to define a particular work procedure, to be carried out, on the inspectional
equipment, in order to bring the anticorrosive protection of the equipment to the level contractually agreed
(see warranty levels chapter 5-9).
NOTE : The recommendations shall imperatively be brought to the knowledge of the contractor during the
establishment of the price list. A copy of the audit will also be systematically given to the control organisation
at the time of the order.

The third objective of the inspection is to plan anticorrosive works in relation with priorities.

The inspections can be undertaken only by qualified company

5-4-2Inspection methodology
Equipments and materials will be inspectioned according to applicable Standards.
Visual inspection of the paint film
This control is to verify the aspect of the paint film in order to detect defects (runs, powdering, bubbling,
peeling …).
The inspector shall detect these defects in order to be able to define the work to be undertaken.
Control of paint film thickness
Thicknesses are measured with a tool based on magnetic flux variations for paints applicated on magnetic
steel substrates. (Calibration and measures according to NF T 30 124 rev. de 1991 or ISO 19840 standard).
The minimum, maximum and average thickness and the number of points to be measured are mentioned in
the inspection file.
Paint film grip evaluation
Test is carried out either:
--- By cross-hatch method for thickness under 200 microns:
Test according to ISO 2409 (1994) standard
Test results with the tool and after sticky tape application according to classification 0 to 5 The inspector
shall identify these defects in order to define the different works to undertake. All classification above 2
necessitates elimination of all existing coatings.
--- With Pull-off test for thickness above 200 microns:
Test according to NF EN 24624 standard, the level of minimum performance shall be 1.5 Mpa.
The measurement tool shall be preferably equipped of a manometer with measure recording system.
The auditor shall identify these defects in order to define the different works to undertake. All performance

5-4-3General presentation of the inspection file

SEE APPENDIX 9

5-5 paint works on metal equipments.

For all the surface preparation or coating application, a particular attention shall be given to the environment
preservation during works.

5-5-1 Surface to be painted or not

Surfaces to be painted are those which can be affected by corrosion due to their environment and those for
aesthetic purpose.
The surfaces to not be painted are:
--- Stainless steel surfaces (except where possible corrosion or aesthetic purpose)
--- Non Ferrous (aluminum, copper…except for aesthetic purpose)
--- Plastic coated surface, resisting to ultraviolet
--- Galvanized or aluminum surfaces (except for aesthetic purpose)
--- Assembly manufacturer plates (tanks, pumps,)

In case of doubt, the contractor shall make a written request for confirmation to TOTAL. If not, part or
complete rework of the equipment is taken in charge by the contractor.

5-5-2Substrate state before work

Surface preparation and paint system are dependant on the condition of the substrate state before work.

New built equipments

The new steels have flakes produced by flattering process (carbon deposit): For example on structure with
access purpose, (stairs, gangways, and crinoline ladders) or on sheet steel used to make tanks. These oxide
coatings with high grip have expanding features very different from those of steel, which can lead the coating
to come off the substrate or split off.

Works made by ironwork company, boiler making or piping industry.

Two cases can occur:

-Equipment which could be delivered uncoated:

Only, equipments (assembly or sub-assembly) subordinated to an anti corrosion project as soon as they are
built, can be delivered uncoated. In those cases, they receive from the contractor the appropriate treatment
that remove carbon oxide and gives the contractually specified roughness.
This is the condition which allows the contractor to commit on contractual warranty duration.

-Equipments which can be delivered pre-painted from the workshop.

For the equipments which can generate aspect damages on surrounding equipments (roast running out), it
shall be plan a paintwork operation according to this specification before installing the equipment on site.

This shall be mentioned in the invitation to tender and in the order sent to the builders. In this case, the
substrate preparation and the anticorrosive protection systems applied shall be compliant with this
specification, with the same warranty requirements.

For the equipments which will be subject to further assembly or on site machining (welding, grinding …)
operation, the builder takes responsibility of repairing the anticorrosive protection in compliance with this
specification, and shall provide all documents related to the paint works he had undertaken (approvals

Any disorder occurring during the five year warranty period, due to recognized substrate preparation defect,
will be charge to the builder. The re-working operations or complementary protection to be applied, due to
his carelessness, would be supported at his own expenses

Maintenance works

The contractor shall comply with recommendations given in the audit report, and in this specification.

As a result, an audit report abstract, regarding the concerned equipment with a copy of this specification will
be given to the contractor and to the inspection agency by the field engineer or project engineer in charge of
the contract

5-5-3 Workers, equipments and environment protection

Workers protection

Implementation of the complete safety charter applicable to oil tank farm and in particular construction site
safety recommendations (prevention plan, risk analysis, safety comity).
In particular, workers must be equipped with adapted Personal Protective Equipments and follow specific
working procedures for health protection, working at height and use of high pressure equipments

The contractor shall provide approval and certificates of conformity for construction work heavy vehicles,
declaration of validity for all security equipments used.

The contractors have to be agreed according to the on going standard of the affiliate

As the contractor have to work on a site in operation, the works can be affected by construction site stops,
decided by the oil tank farm manager, regarding specific risks of his site. In those cases, the work foreman
will make sign, the same day, to the oil tank farm manager, a written paper justifying non-productive hours.

One person on a construction work shall have adequate accreditation in anticorrosive paint assessment
corresponding to a team leader or work foreman such as ACQPA level 2 (French agency for Anticorrosive
paint assessment)

In case of leaded coating suspicion, make a complete analysis of the coating, especially when all documents
describing the composition of the paint are not available or very old.

In the presence of lead chromate silicon and red lead paint, the workers accredited applying and collecting
abrasive, shall be dressed with appropriate individual protection.
In case of doubt, with the asbestos presence, particularly if contained in the coating or water tightness
products coming from mooring buoys (example: Sea line, or berth), a complete analysis of the coating shall
be undertaken. If asbestos presence is confirmed, the accredited workers shall wear appropriate individual
protection.

- Means to access substrate to be treated

Elevator carriage to be used mainly for:
--- Substrate preparation except for blasting
--- Cleaning
--- Paint coating
--- Touching up

Scaffolding with micro stitch net to be used mainly for:

-- All substrate preparation especially for blasting
--- Cleaning
--- Paint coating
--- Mixed use (Boiler and iron works)
--- Reduce work time (team reinforcement)

Rope service to be used in those particular situations:

--- One off work with difficult access
--- Work place which not allow elevator carriage use.
--- Cleaning

Whatever mean used, the workers shall imperatively show a training certificate for the use and mounting of
each equipment.

For scaffolding, the contractor shall comply to the local on going regulation

All scaffolding put in place and ready to use shall systematically be controlled by an accredited agency
before use by contractor workers. This control remains to contractor responsibility. Blasting wastes will not
be accumulated on the scaffolding platform: Procedure will be put in place to remove regularly those wastes.

Security harnesses shall be regularly controlled.

Equipment protections

For substrate preparation and painting operation, the contractor shall take all precaution, to protect the
nearby equipments, subject to paint or abrasive projections.

Hereafter, a non-exhaustive list of equipment to protect:

--- Gasket between flanges

--- Head of automatic gauge (mounted on vertical sensor or on the reading head)
--- Multi parts sensors
--- Level sensors
--- Thermometers
--- Mechanical gauges
--- Tank manufacturer plates
--- Tank gauging reference point
--- Bottom tank and nearby retention pit pumps (product and raise up pump )
--- Pipes in retention pit which do not receive anticorrosive protection
--- Stainless steel pipes (pipes for refreshing and feeding foam boxes, spray)
--- Valves and gates
--- Gates motors
--- Electrical boxes and hydrocarbon detectors
--- Temperature sensor at the loading station.
--- All equipment which shall not be painted ( including expansion device)
--- The breathing opening of the working tanks, also those not concerned by the anticorrosive works, which
can « swallow » abrasive projections.

ATTENTION
A particular care shall be taken in regards to breathing openings and tank blowhole:
If it is essential to prevent from water or abrasive to enter in the tank through these openings, it is
nevertheless essential to not obstruct completely all these openings, by proceeding step by step , to
prevent from colapse of the tank while pumping operations.

In case of doubt, the contractor shall ask TOTAL or the farm oil tank manager for advise.

The contractor remains responsible for the equipment protection during the operations. The repairs or
complementary protection needed in case of carelessness would be made under his entire responsibility.

Environmental protection
For substrate preparation by blasting, the contractor shall look after an efficient method to channel and
recover the abrasives and paint wastes.

Put in place a micro stitch net around scaffolding when using this type of access, to treat the tank shell or put
the net around the peripheral handrail for a tank roof treatment only.

IN CONCRETE RETENTION PIT

Mandatory storage of wastes put together on a plastic sheeting and cover of this same material before
important rain coming (thunder shower, heavy rain, strong wind,)
Waste evacuation immediately at the end of blasting works in “Big bags” or by truck or any other approved
handling tool, providing the appropriate certificates.

IN NON CONCRETE RETENTION PIT

Put in place of a permanent textile on a sufficient surface to allow the flow of water and to trap the blasting
wastes.
Mandatory storage of wastes put together on a plastic film and cover of this same film before impending rain
(thunder shower, heavy rain, strong wind …)
Waste evacuation immediately at the end of blasting works in big bags or by truck or any other approved
handling tool, providing the appropriate certificates.

Furthermore, in all case, the contractor shall put in place an efficient protection on rain draining system, in
order to prevent from sealing manholes and from inhibiting the liquid hydrocarbon sensors, but also to
prevent all damages to pumps by abrasives or all pollution of the oily water treatment system.

Wastes will be evacuated in an appropriate treatment facility. The contractor will deliver a paperwork
showing the waste weight for each transfer (empty vehicle weight, loaded vehicle weight). A mandatory
preliminary analysis (chromium, lead, asbestos, cadmium (…) presence) will determine the
concerned wastes classification, and the contractor will imperatively provide the depot with an industrial
wastes follow up paperwork.

Burying blasting wastes is strictly forbidden

Any disorder coming up during or after the work , and for which the responsibility of the contractor will be
stated (pump jamming, decanter pollution, filled in water draining pipes or manhole …), will be charged to the
contractor. The rework operations or complementary protection which result from his carelessness would be
carried out at his own costs.

5-5-4 Substrate preparation

The best quality paint can give some very poor quality results if applied on a dirty or not properly prepared
substrate. As a consequence, the substrate preparation is a stage of the anticorrosive protection process to
be considered seriously (see appendix 7 for surface preparation).

The ISO 8501-1 standard, classify the different metal surface states, with several photographs as example,
according to the following:
- A = New metal with carbon deposit coming from lamination process
- B = Metal with carbon deposit coming out
- C = Corroded metal
- D = Corroded metal with canker

Surface preparation is subordinated to the state of the substrate before work.

All surfaces ready to be painted shall be dry and clean, that mean, without fatty parts, carbon deposits, rust,
abrasive, dust or any other foreign body, which can damage the paint films grip. They shall have a care
degree and an optimum roughness.

Defects and irregularities which have not been detected during fabrication and which appear after substrate
preparation shall be eliminated by appropriate mechanical means.

Metal is bared on all surfaces affected by rust or having rust traces, flakes, blisters, cankers, crackles. This
treatment will also be extended to the nearby areas.

Page 12 sur 95

For depot already operating, tools used for surface preparation shall be in beryllium bronze to prevent from
sparks. In particular cases, where the surface treatment requires use of other materials, the fire authorisation
will be imperatively necessary.

Choice of the preparation

The preparation choice is directly subordinated to the recommendation stated in the inspection report
prepared by the agreed company
In the case where the inspection depot have not yet taken place or a particular equipment does not appear in
an existing inspection report, it shall be organized a visit on site. Furthermore, in case of quicker rust
spreading identified on equipment or the overall depot, a new inspection shall be organized.

Decoking operation
Hot laminated steels always have when new, a very sticky carbon oxide film.
In nearly all cases, metal sheets, iron or existing tubes, used to construct the equipments in the depot have
not been decoked before assembly.
It remain some areas contaminated by carbon oxide, these shall by eliminated by blast – blasting, only way
for a contractor commit without restriction on a warranty period.
Nevertheless, due to possible problems such operation on existing equipment can cause (floating roof, or
other part); all care shall be taken to ensure efficient protection against abrasive tspread (plastic film 150 µ
thickness or other.

Grease removal
Whatever substrate preparation accepted, a possible grease removal operation can be necessary with
surfaces contaminated by greasy materials (diesel oil, grease for example). The substrate is then cleaned
with an appropriate solvent, followed by a hot water rinsing operation, preferably under pressure with
biodegradable detergent.

Scrapping- scrubbing
When substrate or surrounding does not allow (or with difficulties) abrasive blasting (pipes, bodyguards….), it
can be used other surface preparation process, as scrapers, metal brush, needles hammer…
It follows a careful dust removal operation with vacuum cleaner or dry and oil-free compressed air.
This concerns mainly equipments to be restored.
The NF T 35-506 standard defines 4 care degrees: PS 1 to PS 4.
We shall remind that for our equipments in depot, the care degree to be achieved is PS 3: Rust and foreign
bodies removed.

Abrasive blasting
Abrasive blasting appear the more efficient and reliable to achieve a good surface roughness, and to
eliminate carbon oxide and foreign bodies on the steel surface as old paint. It shall be carried out in
accordance with regulation in force.
The ISO 8501-1 standard defines 4 care degree DS or Sa (Swedish standard): DS 1, DS 2, and DS 2 ½ and
DS 3. The OHGPI organism publishes a 6 pages leaflet showing with photographs, the efficiency of the
scouring according to care degree aimed.
We shall remind that in our equipments in depot the care degree to achieve is, DS 2 ½ which mean very
careful blasting.
This operation allows, first, to eliminate completely old coatings and all carbon oxide traces, but secondly,
gives necessary roughness for a good paint grip.
Achieved roughness is measured by tactile / visual comparison microscope or sensor.

This roughness helps coating grip and therefore his long lasting. To define this roughness, we use the
« Ra » value which is an arithmetical average of roughness criteria, but also, more and more, the « Rt »
value measured in microns and corresponding to the distance between the lowest and highest point.
For information,: For a coating with total dry thickness equal or higher than 200µ, the Rt value shall be of 50
to 75 µ.

We can distinguish two types of abrasive blasting: Dry or humid abrasive blasting

• Dry blast- blasting

Process to be used only in empty and free of gas tanks
It shall be carried out with:
− Dry and oil free air, on oil-free surfaces.
− Perfectly dry abrasives with features allowing to achieve the care degree required
(roughness)
− Hygrometry degree smaller than 80 %
− Temperature higher than 5 °C
− Substrate temperature higher at least of 3 °C than the dew temperature.
All blasting is followed by a careful dust removal operation using a vacuum cleaner or an oil and
water free compressed air.

• Wet blasting
Process used mainly for tanks in operation which can not be emptied and put in a gas free
configuration
This shall be carried out with:
− Oil free air, and oil free substrates
− Abrasives with features allowing achieving the care degree required.
− No matter on hygrometry level.
− Temperature higher than 5 °C
A blasting system inevitably produces mud which soil part of the substrate. A fresh water cleaning
immediately after blasting is highly recommended to allow initial coating on a clean and dry
substrate.

According to the surface preparation process used and particularly when wet environment, a
natural phenomenon lead to immediate rusting of the bare metal, called flash rusting. This
oxidation is very superficial and is not a major problem for applying the first coating if the care
degree is achieved.

To define the care degree to be achieved in flash rusting, the NF T 35 – 520 standard gives 3 categories of
substrate state:

OF 0 = Bare steel at the end of abrasive blasting and drying operations without rust traces.
OF 1 = Bare steel after blast-scouring and drying operations , with low non-powdery oxidation
level
OF 2 = State of the bare steel shows low powdery
For our equipments in depot, the care degree of flash oxidation to be achieved is degree OF1

Pressure water cleaning

This process can only be used in case of substrate which have already been prepared /painted with
surface preparation, carbon oxide removal and appropriate roughness.

Today, three different processes are used:

- High pressure pressure in the range between 200 bars and 1000 bars
- Very high pressure pressure in the range between 1000 bars and 1400 bars
- Extremely high pressure pressure higher than 1400 bars, up to 3000 bars
These processes can allow to keep part of the old coating, but does not creates particular roughness and
can restore only part of the original roughness (primer coating with zinc).
The ISO 4618, NFT 35-520 standards define 4 care degrees :
- DHP 4 = steel put to bare
- DHP 3 = advanced cleaning
- DHP 2 = medium cleaning
- DHP 1 = light cleaning

The primer coating shall be applied on an OF1 maximum classified substrate (flash rusting) according to
NFT 35520 standard. Otherwise, if several days pass between end of humid blasting operation and the
moment where the primer coating is applied, a hand scrubbing shall imperatively carried out.

5-5-5Paint application
As during substrate preparation, paint application conditions are a determining factor on the achieved result
quality and the life duration of the anticorrosive protective coating.
The NF P 74-201 standard item 6.1 deals with minimum work conditions for the insurance of a satisfactory
result, that is
Dry, clean, oil free, dust free, unsalted* and not overheated or frozen substrate.

*NOTE: Equipment situated nearby the sea, will systematically receive, between each coat, a careful fresh
water cleaning, followed by a drying operation. A method to determine the chloride or sulphate level on a
substrate is possible using the BRESLE test (according to ISO 8502-6) to define the minimum threshold
admitted which is: 40 milligram’s per litre.

5-5-6 Protection for neighbouring equipments of those to be painted

During substrate preparation and paint works, all care shall be taken by the contractor to protect
neighbouring equipments of those painted, from abrasives and paint mist (firm plates, machines visible
moving parts, pumps, gate, measuring devices, tanks breathing valves…..)

Paint throwing which contain zinc or aluminium shall be avoided on stainless steel equipments or on steel or
alloys heavy in nickel, those steels being subject to intergranular corrosion, when in contact with zinc,
cadmium, or aluminium contained in some paints.
The contractor shall take all necessary arrangements to protect materials with risks mentioned above.

In case of damages brought out by the contractor on equipments or neighbouring equipment subject to risks
described above, the rework will be carried at contractor’s own costs.

5-6 PAINT COATING APPLICATION

5-6-1 Generals
Paint coats are, in all cases, applied with a brush, spray gun, or any other solution recommended by the
paint manufacturer and having received TOTAL or his representative preliminary agreement.
Use of paint glove is not allowed.
The contractor shall conform to paint manufacturer technical specifications.
MSDS must be provided by the contractor before stating any work (during risk assessment or prevention
plan)

5-6-2Application in builder workshop

In the case of using metal sheets, pipes or metal section pre-painted in workshop (PGP) , TOTAL or his
representative will precise in builder’s order, the primer coating final quality in order that it will be compatible
with the final system.

Before applying the primer paint coat, the pre-painted surfaces shall be cleaned to eliminate, on one hand,
salt settled during storage and transport phases, especially in paints heavy in zinc, on the other hand
organics materials which could come from accidental pollution. Areas damaged during storage or transport
operations are scoured to degree Sa 2 ½.

In the case of using several materials coming directly from ironworks, the paint coat is applied the same day
where surfaces have been scoured, in order to prevent surfaces corrosion.

The maximum lead time between blasting operation and primer coating application are the following :
- 6 hours if HR < 60 %
- 4 hours if HR < 75% HR = relative humidity
- 2 hours if HR < 85 %

The builder shall ensure the film protection in order to prevent any stain.
The intermediate system coat can also be applied in workshop, in compliance with the lead-time specified in
the primer coating technical documents, to apply a second coat.
The paint control works for paint operation carried out within the workshop are under builder’s responsibility.
Control results are presented to TOTAL or his representative, when requested.

5-6-3On site application

Recommendation mentioned in 5-6-2, regarding the builder, for applying one or several coats in workshop, is
also applicable to the contractor for paintwork carried out on site.
Intermediate and finish coats application
The possible touching-up operations carried out on site, on coats applied in the workshop are under
contractor’s responsibility.
Any damages occurring on coats applied in workshop, is brightened either by brushing or abrasive blasting
operation, and reworked with an identical paint, before applying the next coat.
Intermediate and finish coats carried out on site, shall be made by the same contractor.
All surfaces shall be completely covered by all paint system coats. A different colour can be used when
applying the different coats in order to better visualize the covering of each coat.
Each coat thickness shall be in accordance to the requirements given for each different paint systems.
In case of insufficient coat thickness, the contractor shall carry out, at his own costs, the necessary additional
coats.

Drying duration between coats shall conform to the duration requested by the paint manufacturer, for the
paint system used.
Before applying a paint coat, ask TOTAL or his representative, the acceptance of the previous coat.

Brush or paint roll application

Brushes shall be of a type and quality which allow correct paint application.

NOTA : Solder joints on tanks, will systematically be prepainted with brush prior to paint roll application.
The contractor shall conform to the product technical specification in
which he will find the following:
--- Product description
--- Product data sheet
--- Storage recommendation
Characteristic of product use, on its thinning, application condition,
packaging, storage, security and hygiene characteristics.

The contractor has to comply with all paint manufacturer requirement.

---Mixing proportion
---Product preparation
---Thinner type and thinner percentage associated to the product
--- Mixing ripening
---Practical limit date to use the product
--- Dry and wet film thickness
--- Drying duration
--- Covering lead time

Atmospheric conditions
To have the insurance to work in correct conditions, it is absolutely necessary to measure air humidity, and
ambient temperature permanently, using a hygrometer / thermometer recorder.
Substrate temperature is measured with a contact thermometer. According to data recorded, the dew point
shall be defined by the contractor, following the table appendix 5. This dew point control is recorded in the
building site logbook, at least two times a day and before the beginning of the work.
The contact thermometer shall imperatively give a temperature higher than +3 °C above the recorded dew
point.
In this way, no paint application shall be carried out if ambient temperature and substrate temperature are
respectively:
--- Under 5 °C and above 50 °C for paint with solvent.
--- Under 7 °C and above 35 °C for solvent free paint like epoxy paint (epoxy and polyurethane based)
--- If a risk of frost appear before the paint is dry.
--- If hygrometry degree is higher than 85 %
--- If substrate temperature is not higher than 3 °C above dew point temperature.

No paint application shall be carried out, during rainy, windy, snowy or foggy weather except in the case
where the contractor put in place the possible and necessary means to maintain required hygrometry and
temperature during all the application.

Note:
These general points do not substitute to precise the very characteristics given by the manufacturer of each
product.

Drying duration
In general, paint manufacturers divide drying duration in for periods for a given thickness
--- Dust inlaying free
--- Dry when touching
--- Handling possible
--- Covering by other coat possible

This duration is given for an ambient temperature of 20 °C and a hygrometry of 65 %. This duration can vary
if the atmospheric conditions are different.

The different coats

THE PRIMER: First coat, applied on bare substrates, his grip is a determining factor. This is the primer
which ensures corrosion inhibition function. On is own, it can protect, awaiting the following coats,
but it shall be covered in a lead-time, described in the manufacturer technical specification.
INTERMEDIATE: Ensure the water-tightness function and participate to the total thickness of the paint
system.
FINISH: Protect all coats from the environment, and participate to the global anticorrosive protection
ensured by the paint system.

Coat’s thickness
An estimate of wed thickness is carried out during application using a wet film thickness gauge.

After drying, thickness is measured using a magnetic flux variation tools for paints applied on Ferro-magnetic
substrates. (Calibration and measure according to NF T 30 124 or ISO 19840 standard).
This very important standard has two level of control: level A and level B
Measured thicknesses are considered in accordance with the contractual specification if they correspond to
A level, defined in paragraph 3-2 of DRC-2 1992 de l’OHGPI document, describing following requirements:
- No measure under 80 % of the nominal and contractual thickness: E
- Not more than 20 % of measurements found between nominal thickness E and 80 % of E

For maintenance works, maximum dry thickness which can be applied with a paint-roll appropriate for primer
and intermediate coats of this specification is 120 microns. (cf. ISO 2808, 12944-7 and 8502-4)
In case of insufficient thickness, the contractor will apply , at his own costs, one or several coats in order to
achieve minimal thickness.

Paint systems
It correspond to recommendations according to different criteria :

A system is defined as follow:

--- Atmospheric corrosives grade
--- Inspected substrate condition
--- Surface preparation

>>>>>>> Tank base protection principles described in appendix 3

This external protection principle, if carried out according to the rulebook, can allow preventing in
certain cases, water retention on the connection between tank shell and bottom of the tank. Such
water retention can produce corrosion, but also, water infiltration underneath bottom metal sheet.
On the other hand, this process will not be systematically used on all sites, the alternative solution
between this principle and a simple anticorrosive coating same as the one used on the tank shell, with
fitting of a seal under base metal sheet.

In certain cases, the tank base is covered with the ground material ( bitumen or concrete).
It is then necessary to plan civil engineering works (TOTAL responsibility) in order to uncover the tank
base and to shape the groundwork to recover a rainwater-draining slope towards the retention pit. As
well as , a sufficient space shall be found between groundwork and the underneath of the tank base,
in order to be able to position a soft water-tighness seal.

Finish colour

a) General colours
Since European Recommendation N° 92 C 227/07 of 3/9/92, strengthen by 94/63/CE
Recommendation, issued in « journal Official des communautés européennes/European regulations

This condition has nothing to do with colours resistance to light, but have the purpose to protect walls
against important thermal shock.

Further explanation :
Abrasive scouring : efficiency of protective coatings on steel substrate is importantly influenced by steel
surface condition before paint. Main factors that influence this operation are presence of rust, machining
scorias, impurities like dust, oil, grease and surface profil. The sanding scouring is made according to ISO
8504-2. Metal shots is thrown up on profil surface, eliminating all contamination traces.
