Tank Integrity Testing
Above ground and underground fuel tanks are tested for integrity using special tank testing equipment.
Specialty computer software analyses the result, detects any leak in the tank and pipework system and provides a report on the integrity of the tank.
The tank integrity testing can be applied to single skin steel tanks and newer single skin or double-walled steel or fibreglass tanks.
At the end of the integrity testing the client receives a comprehensive report with the test results and any areas of concern with the entire fuel system with recommendations for upgrades and continuous improvements.

Tank inspections are performed by an Authorised API 653 Tank Inspector to the latest versions of API 653, API 650, and other relevant Standards.
Inspections include full external and internal inspections as required by the Standards and include material thickness testing with ultrasonic thickness testing equipment and inspection of all valves, vent devices, and other equipment fitted to the tanks.
The tank inspections also include inspections and reporting of ancillary equipment such as bunding capacity, compliance of access stairways and platforms, and fire protection equipment to Australian Standards.
