• Tanks whose vulnerability index is greater than 133 (I V2 ): the state of the tank is
considered sufficiently degraded to justify short-term repair.
• Tanks whose vulnerability is between I V1 and I V2 : additional studies and analysis
of the potential risks of worsening defects must be engaged to decide on the
nature and urgency of the repair work to be undertaken.
In the hands of managers, this method allows them to fix the priorities for action in
their rehabilitation program or repair, in order to optimize its management under sig-
nificant budgetary constraints.
