Leaking storage tanks, whether above or below ground, can pollute the environment, threaten public health and lead to billions of dollars in direct and indirect costs. One main reason for storage tank and pipeline failure is corrosion. Implementing appropriate corrosion control measures and periodical inspections to monitor corrosion processes in storage tanks helps to control the risk of possible leakage.
By identifying and correcting areas of concern during inspections, the risk of health and safety incidences are greatly reduced. Risk can be reduced by identifying items such as leaking system pipe valves, unsecured roof covers and hazardous chemical tank leaking due to corrosion. Coordination of inspection results with your safety department will assist in providing a safer work environment.
