Storage Tank Inspection

Storage Tank Inspection services are essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of fuel storage tanks. After undergoing cleaning, inspection, and repairs, these tanks are typically returned to service for a prolonged period.

Therefore, the ability to rely on a trustworthy inspection is essential.
For many years, inspectors and NDT technicians have primarily conducted inspections manually, significantly influencing the outcome of the results.
Training and qualifications are essential for these professionals to perform their work to a standard.
We offer the great added value of being able to operate your tanks at the optimal inspection interval with reliable state-of-the-art inspection technologies.
These services can help to identify potential hazards, such as leaks, corrosion, and structural damage before they lead to a spill or other incident.

Storage Tank Inspection Services

Visual Inspections: Involving a visual examination of the tank and its components to detect damage or corrosion.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Utilizing non-destructive methods to check for internal defects like cracks or voids.

Pressure Testing: Pressurizing the tank to a specified level to ensure structural integrity.

Integrity Testing: Evaluating the tank’s overall condition, including structural integrity, corrosion resistance, and leak detection capabilities.

The frequency of fuel inspections varies based on tank type, location environment, and risk level.

Typically, tanks should undergo inspection at least once every three years.

Tank Integrity Assessment

Storing a large amount of hazardous materials at facilities can pose a risk to the public, the environment, and the nearby area.

Releasing these dangerous substances into the ground can result in expensive decontamination processes.

Weather conditions affecting the external surfaces and temperature changes inside the tank are the main causes of leaks in storage tanks holding oil, gas, or chemicals.

These hazardous scenarios can lead to severe harm and damage.
