HONOLULU (AP) — The U.S. Navy has announced plans to reinforce large fuel tanks near Pearl Harbor with an extra layer of lining following a fuel spill in 2014 that threatened Oahu's drinking water.
The Navy could begin the upgrades at Red Hill as early as 2022 if all testing is approved, said Capt. Gordie Meyer, the commander of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Hawaii. The Navy asked the private sector to submit solutions for double wall tanks at the site and received proposals from 16 companies, he said.
He said the Navy picked a plan put together by a company with a track record of providing similar solutions for even larger tanks in the liquified natural gas shipping industry.
