What is Storage Tank Inspection ?
Storage Tank Inspections help gather essential data about safety and reliability of the tanks. It facilitates in increasing the life span of the tanks by identifying potential risks such as damage, corrosion and cracks. The data collected through the inspection is then used to run, repair or replace parts and components to prevent unnecessary breakdowns and/or accidents. Storage Tank Inspections thus support in ensuring protection of the facility staff, assets and the environment.
