What is a Tank Floor Settlement Survey?
The integrity of storage tanks is paramount in the industrial and commercial sectors, as they hold a variety of hazardous and valuable substances. However, over time, tanks can experience settlements, which can lead to structural defects and potentially catastrophic failures.
At BES Group, we’ll help you safeguard your operations and protect the environment with our comprehensive tank settlement, differential settlement, and tank floor surveys to thoroughly assess the condition of your tanks and identify any potential issues. Our tank settlement surveys employ cutting-edge laser level technology to precisely measure and record settlement levels in designated locations as per EEMUA guidelines. This advanced method ensures accurate and reliable data, providing a clear picture of the tank’s overall integrity.

Tank Floor Settlement Surveys from BES Group
We meticulously monitor edge settlement, which occurs when the tank shell settles sharply around the periphery, causing deformation of the bottom plate near the shell-to-bottom junction. This condition can significantly compromise the structural integrity of the tank, making it vulnerable to ruptures and leaks.
Rigorous Evaluation Process
Our qualified EEMUA Tank Assessors apply EEMUA 159 calculations, the widely accepted industry standard for tank integrity assessments, to determine if the recorded settlement levels fall within acceptable limits. This rigorous evaluation provides a comprehensive assessment of the tank’s structural stability.
To ensure the effectiveness of our surveys, we require specific information regarding the tank’s type and diameter to tailor our methodologies accordingly. Additionally, the tank interior should be clean and accessible to facilitate accurate measurements. We strongly recommend conducting a comprehensive EEMUA 159 tank inspection alongside our settlement survey. This holistic approach provides a comprehensive evaluation of the tank’s condition, including its structural integrity, corrosion, and overall condition.

Experts in Tank Floor Settlement Surveys
Our team of highly experienced and qualified inspectors provides you with the most comprehensive tank settlement, differential settlement, and tank floor surveys possible. We are committed to ensuring the safety and integrity of your storage tanks, protecting your operations and safeguarding the environment.
Tank settlement can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Improper foundation
If the tank’s foundation is not properly designed or constructed, it can settle unevenly, causing the tank to settle.
Soil conditions
Certain soil types, such as soft or clay soils, are more prone to settling than others.
Heavy loads
If the tank is subjected to heavy loads, such as from stored materials or equipment, it can settle over time.
External factors
Environmental factors such as earthquakes, floods, or extreme weather conditions can also cause tank settlement.
