The 160 ft. tank has 208 steel floor plates in its bottom construction. The previous inspection took over two weeks to conduct due to the vast size of the tank. The prior survey provided approximately 2,000 UT data points. Maverick was able to measure and record 35,000 data points in less than three hours. Numerous personnel from the site's inspection and operations divisions visited the work site during testing and were very impressed by the rapid UT data acquisition the sheer amount of detail revealed about the tank floor.
