Steel Tanks

As steel tanks age, their metal shells naturally corrode. The rate of corrosion depends on many factors including the product stored in the tank, the tank’s exposure to weather, and the integrity of the tank’s coatings or linings. While the entire tank will naturally thin over time, tank failures are normally the result of localized damage that can be found during a steel tank inspection and repaired at a fraction of the cost of a new tank.

Our staff is certified under API-653 and STI SP001 to perform above-ground storage tank (AST) inspections. This dual certification allows us to customize inspection plans that satisfy the owner’s needs and meet regulatory requirements. Each of our inspections are designed and performed by a certified inspector and reviewed by a Registered Professional Engineer.

Technicians who support the inspection effort are certified under SNT-TC-1A to perform the non-destructive examination (NDE) methods needed to conduct AST Inspections. In addition, our personnel perform plumbness, roundness, break-over, peaking/banding measurements, and 3-D mapping of tank floors.
