Inspection requirements are site specific. Facility size, tank type (single or double wall), tank position (vertical or horizontal) and size are some of the items that must be taken into account at an initial site visit to firmly identify inspection requirements.

Certified inspection address the following items depending on the tank:

Water in tank  Welds  Spill containers  Tank supports  Tank tightness

Fuel in interstice  Pipe connections  Site drainage  Tank foundation  Tank shell thickness

Leak detection system check  Vents  Emergency vent O ring gasket  Review of cathodic protection      results
