Management assurance
A clearer basis for the next asset decision.
Inspection data only creates value when it helps your team decide what can remain in service, what needs repair, and what belongs in the next maintenance window.
Control repair scope
Separate isolated findings from broader degradation so work packs target the condition actually found.
Use access well
Coordinate inspection methods, access and verification while the tank is available.
Support the decision
Deliver traceable evidence, clear priorities and a practical record for integrity review.
01 / Tank-specific scope
One asset. Five integrity zones.
A tank inspection should follow the way the asset carries load, contains product and degrades—not a generic checklist. The inspection plan connects likely damage mechanisms to each critical zone.
ROOF + STRUCTURE
SHELL + NOZZLES
FLOOR + ANNULAR RING
FOUNDATION + SETTLEMENT
- 01
Containment
Locate and quantify corrosion, pitting, cracking or leakage paths.
- 02
Stability
Assess shell condition, roof support, plumbness and settlement behaviour.
- 03
Remaining service
Organise traceable measurements for integrity and maintenance review.
- 04
Repair priorities
Separate immediate action from monitorable degradation and planned work.
02 / Inspection strategy
The shutdown state changes the evidence available.
Our API 653 inspection planning aligns tank condition, operating constraints, access and the required integrity decision—then selects the methods that can answer it.
Inspect while operating
External examination and targeted non-intrusive data collection to understand visible condition, shell loss, settlement and emerging risk.
- EXTERNAL VISUAL EXAMINATION
- ULTRASONIC THICKNESS DATA
- SETTLEMENT + PLUMBNESS
Access the complete boundary
Internal access enables direct examination of floors, welds, internal shell surfaces, roof structure and corrosion morphology.
- MFL FLOOR SCANNING
- UT VERIFICATION + MAPPING
- WELD + LEAK TESTING
Verify what was restored
Document repair areas and final condition so the recommissioning decision is supported by a clear inspection record.
- REPAIR HOLD POINTS
- WELD EXAMINATION
- FINAL CLOSE-OUT RECORD

Code-informed inspection
Specialist judgement for storage-tank integrity.
API 653 certification is central to how Tank Inspection approaches in-service and out-of-service assessment: understanding the tank as a complete containment system and organising field evidence around condition, repair and continued-service decisions.

TRACEABLE CONDITION REPORTING
03 / Evidence package
Coverage first. Then measurement. Then action.
No single technique answers every tank-integrity question. Broad screening identifies areas of interest; targeted methods quantify and verify the condition.
Screen large floor areas
Magnetic flux leakage highlights localised volume loss across carbon-steel floor plates for targeted follow-up.
DECISION: WHERE IS METAL LOSS CONCENTRATED?Quantify remaining thickness
Ultrasonic measurements support local verification, shell profiling and repeatable corrosion monitoring.
DECISION: HOW MUCH WALL REMAINS?Track geometry and support
Level, plumbness and dimensional evidence identifies distortion or foundation behaviour requiring engineering review.
DECISION: IS THE TANK GEOMETRY STABLE?Resolve local indications
Visual, magnetic particle, penetrant, vacuum-box or weld examination is selected around the indication and component.
DECISION: WHAT DOES THIS LOCAL CONDITION MEAN?Real field capability
Our people. Our equipment. Your tank.
Real project evidence demonstrates the range of access, inspection environments and advanced equipment available to support tank integrity work across Australia.
04 / Service environments
Different products. Different damage priorities.
The stored product, water bottoms, temperature, coating system, foundation and operating history shape what should be inspected and where.
