The rehabilitation, as recommended by the Consultant, includes demolishing and removing the existing concrete masonry unit (CMU) baffle walls and floor slab, replacing and recompacting displaced soil, constructing a new reinforced concrete structural slab and baffle wall, removing existing coating from all interior concrete surfaces, repairing spalls, gouges and cracks, repairing eroded concrete surfaces, and coating the interior of the tank using a polyurethane coating.
