18 Trustees established an STI license agreement that tank fabricators had to comply with It allowed use of the STI name and the sti-p3 trademark on UST s It also allowed STI inspection of the fabricators sti-p3 tanks

21 After STI terminated use of UL to perform inspections of sti-p3 tanks in early 1980 s, STI performed its own inspections of sti-p3 tank fabricators In 1980 s, STI contracted individuals from the oil industry and fire safety community. John Ainlay, API & NE Fire Marshal Dutch Otto, Amoco Bill Jackson, Phillips Petroleum Larry Stevenson

22 In 1984, legislation passed requiring corrosion protected tanks in 1988 In 1988, EPA promulgated new UST rules Number of licenses for sti-p3 tanks grew New coatings became popular New QC Program on Zinc Weld-On Anodes Quality Control Meeting initiated in 1978 was turned into an annual requirement

23 Board of Directors established a comprehensive audit Director s companies were initial recipients Roger Richer of BMT, and an STI Director, agreed to audit fabricators with STI staff In 1989, Dick Izmer was hired as 1st full time employee to manage the quality control program. Larry O Shea was hired in Larry is in his 24 th year as STI s Director of QC.

24 STI added four other underground corrosion control technologies and five aboveground tank technologies. Licenses were expanded into Canada and Mexico. In 1998, STI acquired patents for Permatank and seven overseas licensees. In 2000, with the Flameshield program, STI performed inspections on behalf of SwRI On April 25, 2003, UL announced its Alternate Quality & Inspection Program whereby UL allowed STI tank fabricators to have STI perform up to two of UL s inspections per year per shop.

25 STI develops quality evaluation rating system STI works with STICO to also inspect non-sti labeled tanks STI places greater inspection emphasis on fitup, welding, and testing (not just corrosion control) STICO provides grant money to support program

26 In 1997, Members offered to host a tour of their shop in conjunction with Annual QC Meeting Newberry Ace Lannon Acterra BMT NW JL Houston Stanwade Alabama Kennedy Hamilton Lincoln Welding First QC Meeting planned by Board of Directors in QC Meeting had over 150 attendees

27 Today, over 100 shopfabricated tank shops are inspected with an average of 5 STI technologies licensed per shop Over 450,000 tanks have been built to STI specifications Inspectors average 40 years of experience

28 Fabricators become qualified for various levels of QC Award for continued compliance. Banners and certificates presented In February, 52 plants were be given a QC Award In 2015, Diamond Award created for 15 or more consecutive years of high quality
