Tank Inspection in Green Bay

Every company has a tank. It could be a large storage tank down to a small air compressor. Large or small these tanks need to be NDE inspected.

Today in industry, there is a considerable amount of concern from insurance companies, OSHA, EPA, and state organizations to inspect all types of tanks, whether they are oil storage, water storage, chemical, etc. Many of these tanks are very old and have not been inspected in many years. In all industries, corrosion, cracking and brittle fractures are problems.

The American Petroleum Institute has adapted the API-653 “Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration and Reconstruction” standard for these purposes. This standard dictates the types of inspection for each category of tanks, as well as their inspection frequency.
