Abstract
Catastrophic failure of above ground steel storage tanks has been brought into the spotlight with the collapse of the Oil tank in Floreffe, Pennsylvania in January of 1988. Fallout from this failure and the resultant Congressional hearings prompted citizens in a suburb of Chicago to vociferously oppose the construction of above ground water storage tanks in conjunction with the Lake Michigan Water Pipeline Project. Concern over the long-term safety of our above ground storage tanks and good public relations dictate that tank owners employ state-of-the-art repair, inspection and corrosion control techniques on above ground storage tanks.
