Enviroshield performs aboveground storage tank inspections that satisfy EPA Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan requirements. Certified inspections conform to the following industry standards:
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.

Our aim is to work with you in order to help you satisfy current regulatory requirements. This is also a bottom line issue because sound inspection and maintenance practices can prevent the serious environmental consequences brought about by leaking storage facilities.
To determine shell thickness, Enviroshield employs the latest in Ultrasonic testing/scanning technology to obtain thickness measurements.
We are able to gauge true metal thickness measurements even when a surface is coated or painted.
The measurement of tank wall thickness to ascertain the impact of corrosion is extremely important, since very often corrosion cannot be detected via visual inspection. Corrosion will weaken steel and could lead to system failures.
Specialized training and consideration are prerequisites to work in confined areas. Enviroshield technicians possess the equipment and experience to safely work in environments with limited air supply and areas with explosive potential.
Since the majority of ASTs are mounted, OSHA training again comes into play since technicians must use appropriate, safe procedures to accomplish the exterior inspection without incident.
As with underground storage tanks, safety and environmental regulations require corrosion control for aboveground fuel storage tanks and associated piping that come into contact with the ground. As part of a certified inspection, past cathodic protection test results are reviewed to maintain compliance with state guielines and regulations.
