3-7. Corrective Maintenance Tasks (CM)
a. Repair the Container.
Emergency repairs can be performed to prevent additional damage to container panels. All other
container repair is performed by contractor.
(1) Emergency Repairs. Damage to the coating of the container panel that does not expose or
puncture the lining of the panel should not be repaired. Any damage to the container panel
that exposes or punctures the lining should be repaired immediately to prevent further
damage. Adhesive aluminum tape or foil can be used to repair any damage to the container
panel that exposes or punctures the lining. The tape or foil thickness should exceed 90
microns. If using thinner tape or foil, a second or third layer should be applied. Repair
damage to the container panel that exposes or punctures the lining as follows:
(a) Prepare the area to be repaired by clearing it of all loose particles or jagged edges that
may prevent the tape or foil from properly adhering to the container.
(b) Affix the adhesive tape or foil to the damaged container panel in a manner that fully
covers the damage and surrounding area.
