evaluated the conditions with Chino Basin Desalter Authority (CDA) and IEUA staff. During the investigation we discovered leaks on the HOCL lines, as well as heavy corrosion on their 27" FRP flanges caused by the caustic and acidic chemical leaks. W.A. Rasic Construction quickly shutdown the lines, dewatered the chemicals with CDA's plant staff for proper disposal, obtained the specialty pipe and fittings, and repaired the lines. During that emergency work we also responded to a critical 93% sulfuric acid leak at the plant. W.A. Rasic Construction field staff called our safety management to quickly mobilize to the site with the correct PPE for such a hazardous chemical and hold an onsite safety meeting before the crew excavated, shored, and identified the leak on the sulfuric acid line. W.A. Rasic Construction stockpiled the contaminated soil for proper manifesting and disposal. W.A. Rasic Construction responds to hundreds of these types of calls annually. As such, there are too many to list within this qualification package. Emergency response is one of the core segments of our company and we understand the urgency of a timely repair. We qualify for many of these contracts, receive renewals, and receive numerous calls because of our history of timely response, quality repair, on -site safety, and cost efficiency. W.A.
