Dear all,

We purchased a non-pressure part CS container which sit at site for more than an year until recently installed. It was found severe corrosion on the container floor, which is 1/4" thick SA-36.
The guessing of the cause could be desiccant bags. What will be the method to restore the floor ?

If the floor is still structurally sound a sand blast and epoxy coating will prevent further damage.
 
Site performed cleaning, and thickness was taken on more than 20 locations and found between 0.2"-0.25" Supplier states it has no issue for operation, so no further action. Thanks for your all opinions.
