Storage Tank Inspection, Audit and Calibration
The Objective
The storage of large quantities of hazardous substances entails risk to the population, the environment and the surrounding area. Spills of these hazardous substances into the soil can result in expensive decontamination processes.
However, periodic inspections conducted at the appropriate time prevent such disasters from happening. Reliable quantity measurement is the critical basis of good contractual relationships in the worldwide trading of chemicals, petroleum products and liquefied gases. Accurate and regular calibration provides a clear insight into the precise capacity and volume of your tanks.
The Solution
Over time, uncontrolled corrosion can weaken or destroy components and causes environmental contamination and volume losses. In order to avoid such failures and to assure that storage tanks meet local regulations as well as relevant standards and codes, SGS provides Technical Audits, Inspections and Non-Destructive Testing.
