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.
