How we'll work with you
Our comprehensive Storage Tank Remedial Work Services address a wide range of factors that contribute to Storage Tank failures.
Corrosion is a prevalent cause of tank wall weakening and increased susceptibility to failure.
Our team employs advanced NDT methods to detect corrosion and implements appropriate repair techniques to restore the tank’s integrity.
Weld defects can arise during fabrication or as a result of operational damage, creating weak points in the tank walls.
We utilise expert welding techniques and rigorous inspection procedures to eliminate weld defects and ensure structural integrity.
Dents and gouges in the tank walls compromise structural integrity and increase the risk of failure.
Our team employs precise repair methods to eliminate dents and gouges, restoring the tank’s strength and serviceability.

Our Storage Tank Repair process adheres to stringent industry standards, such as EEMUA 159 and API 653, ensuring the safety and reliability of the repaired tank. All materials used in the repair are certified to meet the required standards for safe and reliable operation.
Welding techniques
Precise welding techniques are employed to restore the tank’s integrity, ensuring structural soundness and leak-tightness.
Patching and material replacement
Appropriate patching materials, such as steel plates or composite materials, are selected and applied to the damaged areas to restore the tank’s structural integrity.
Rigorous NDT verification
The repaired areas are subjected to comprehensive NDT testing, including Ultrasonic Testing, Magnetic Particle Testing, Dye Penetrant Testing, and Radiographic Testing, to verify the effectiveness of the repair and confirm the Tank’s structural integrity.

Frequently asked questions
What Inspection methods are used prior to Storage Tank Maintenance?
We employ a range of advanced NDT methods to detect hidden defects or anomalies that may not be visible to the naked eye. These methods include:
-
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT): UT measures the thickness of the tank wall, providing insights into the extent of corrosion or damage.
- Magnetic Particle Testing (MPI): MPI detects surface discontinuities in the tank’s material, such as cracks or delaminations.
- Dye Penetrant Testing (DPI): DPI highlights cracks and defects by penetrating into the tank’s surface and revealing them under ultraviolet light.
- Radiographic Testing (RAD): RAD uses high-energy X-rays to create detailed images of the tank’s internal structure, revealing any hidden defects or voids.
The collected NDT data is meticulously analysed to assess the severity of the damage and determine the appropriate repair approach. Our team conducts a root cause analysis to identify the underlying factors that contributed to the tank damage. This helps to prevent similar issues from reoccurring in the future.
What will be included in my Storage Tank Maintenance report?
Detailed NDT reports are generated for each NDT method used, providing clear documentation of the test results and their interpretation. This will also include:
- Regulatory compliance documentation: All regulatory compliance documents are included in the report, demonstrating adherence to relevant safety standards.
- Insurance purposes: The report serves as valuable evidence for insurance purposes, demonstrating the thoroughness and compliance of the repair work.
- Maintenance records: The report is integrated into the tank’s maintenance records, providing a complete history of the tank’s condition and repairs.
What additional Testing methods are used after Storage Tank Maintenance or Repairs ?
- Pressure testing: The Tank will undergo Pressure Testing to ensure its ability to withstand the operating pressures and avoid sudden failures.
- Hydrostatic testing: For Water Tanks, hydrostatic testing is conducted to ensure the Tank can withstand the maximum operating pressure while maintaining its structural
