tank leak testing






Single Bottom, Double Bottom and Tanks with Leak Detection Systems

 

What happens when your storage tank bottom leaks? 

One cup of oil can contaminate an Olympic size pool. In most cases hundreds of gallons of oil seep into the ground before a spill is discovered.

  • Environmental impact
  • Costly repairs
  • Loss of revenue

We have found numerous leaks on Tank bottoms that have passed other NDT methods. Our tank bottom test scans the following areas for leaks:

  • Lap welds
  • Butt welds (Annular Ring)
  • Sump welds
  • Cathodic protection welds
  • Steam coil support welds                                   
  • Floating roof striker plate welds
  • Fixed roof support pad welds
  • Other welds associated with tank bottom
