EEMUA 159 Tank Inspections

NDT Group offers a one-stop shop for above-ground flat-bottomed storage tank inspections.

Our Asset Integrity Manager will oversee the entire process from start to finish.

We will meet on-site with you to discuss your needs. Once a tank has been taken out of service, we will manage the cleaning process, and our NDT technicians will carry out the necessary tests.

Our Asset Integrity Manager will review the data and results of the tests to produce a Fit for Purpose report. This report will ensure you remain compliant with HSE and the Environment Agency and will give you an estimated lifespan for your tank. Our inspection gives guidance to maintenance and repair and we can produce an inspection schedule to ensure compliance.

Our EEMUA 159 Tank Inspections process

Our team follow the inspection process outlined in EEMUA 159.

Visual Inspection: We begin with a thorough visual examination of the tank’s external and internal surfaces to identify any signs of damage, corrosion, or deterioration.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Our NDT technicians then use techniques such as ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, magnetic particle testing, and dye penetrant testing to assess the structural integrity of the tank components without causing damage.

Thickness Measurements: We measure the thickness of the tank’s steel plates to detect any thinning or corrosion that may compromise the tank’s integrity.

Evaluation of Welds: Then we inspect any welds for defects or discontinuities that could affect the tank’s structural integrity.

Assessment of Foundations and Supports: We examine the tank’s foundations and supports to ensure stability and prevent potential failure.

Fit for Purpose Assessment: Our Inspector then completes a comprehensive evaluation of the tank’s fitness for its intended purpose, considering factors such as operating conditions, environmental factors, and regulatory requirements.
