At APEC Inspection, we provide expert storage tank inspection services for both in-service and out-of-service bulk storage tanks. Our comprehensive inspections cover vertical and horizontal tanks, whether they are above ground or below ground.

Comprehensive Inspection Approach

Our inspection methodology combines advanced techniques to thoroughly assess the condition of tank components, including:

• Tank Floors
• Tank Shells
• Tank Roofs
• Structural Integrity

Compliance and Quality Standards

We ensure compliance with industry standards by providing detailed inspection reports that include engineering calculations according to API 653 and API 650 specifications, as well as other relevant guidelines.

Integrating API 653 standards with 3D laser scanning for tank inspections enhances the process significantly. Here are some key benefits:

1. Compliance with Standards: 3D laser scanning ensures that inspections meet API 653 standards for verticality, roundness, flatness, and subsidence measurements.
2. Detailed Reporting: The technology provides comprehensive reports aligned with API 653 guidelines, including data on tank shell verticality, roundness, tank bottom flatness, and subsidence.
3. Enhanced Accuracy: The precision of 3D laser scanning allows for accurate detection of out-of-tolerance areas, ensuring that any deformations or defects are identified and addressed promptly.
4. Efficiency: The process is much faster than traditional methods, allowing for quicker inspections and reduced downtime.
5. Safety: Reduces the need for manual inspections, minimizing the risk to personnel by limiting their time inside the tank.
