Tank Inspections

Complementing more traditional inspections methods, we own and operate a range of UAV platforms to allow visual, thermal and optical gas Imaging survey of the storage tanks and associated infrastructure.

• Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) - used for the inspection of the shell to bottom weld and seam welds
• Dye penetrate-used for the inspection of the shell to bottom weld and seam welds
• Magnetic Flux Leakage-used to assess the condition of the tank floor and locate defects on underside of floor plates
• Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) – used to measure wall thickness and to assess the condition of the annular ring
• Vacuum Box-used to test the integrity of the Shell / Bottom weld and majority of Seam Welds
• CCTV and Pneumatic Mast-used for the inspection of drains, pipes, and areas where access is most difficult negating the use of scaffolding where access is at height.
• Ultrasonic and Remote Ultrasonic-Remote Ultrasonic to measure the wall thickness of the Shell strakes and Tank roof plates by following vertical Scan Lines on the tank shell from the ground.
• Visual- Overall inspection of foundations, holding bolts
• UAV – Internal & external visual, thermal and hydrocarbon leak survey of tank & Infrastructure
• FLIR – Thermal and Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) survey of the storage tank and Infrastructure
