Frequently Asked Questions

How often should storage tanks be inspected?

Inspection frequency depends on the tank type, contents, age, and regulations (e.g., EEMUA 159 guidelines for above-ground steel tanks). Typically, external visual inspections occur annually or every 5 years, with full internal inspections every 10-20 years or after significant events. We provide tailored schedules to ensure compliance while minimising disruption, contact us for a site-specific recommendation.

What standards do you follow for tank inspections and repairs?

We adhere to international best practices including EEMUA 159 (widely used in the UK for above-ground storage tanks), API 653 (for inspection, repair, alteration), and relevant sector-specific hygienic/food-grade requirements. Our team is trained to these standards, delivering thorough inspections using visual, ultrasonic, and non-destructive testing methods.

Do you work across different industries and tank types?

Yes, we serve Food & Beverage (hygienic stainless-steel tanks), Water, Agriculture, Chemical, Oil & Gas (including fuel distribution), and Renewables. We handle above ground and underground tanks, welded or bolted, steel, stainless, and specialist materials, tailoring solutions to your sector’s unique compliance and operational needs.

Are your solutions compliant for regulated sectors like food, chemicals, or oil?

Absolutely. For Food & Beverage, we ensure hygienic design, cleanability, and food-contact compliance. In Chemical/Oil & Gas, we focus on corrosion resistance, hazardous material containment, and environmental regs. All work prioritises safety, regulatory alignment (e.g., COMAH, DSEAR where applicable), and asset longevity.

What signs indicate my storage tank needs attention?

Common indicators include visible corrosion/rust, leaks, unusual pressure/temperature fluctuations, contamination risks, coating degradation, or structural issues. Early signs like minor pitting or settlement can often be addressed preventively, our inspections detect these before they cause costly failures.

What regulations apply to storage tanks in the UK, and how do you ensure compliance?

UK storage tanks must comply with standards such as EEMUA 159 (for above-ground steel tanks), API 653 (inspection, repair, and alteration), COMAH (for hazardous substances), and sector-specific rules like food-contact materials for Food & Beverage or environmental protections for Water and Chemicals. We conduct inspections and deliver solutions fully aligned with these; providing detailed reports, certification, and recommendations to help you meet HSE, insurance, and operational requirements without risk of non-compliance penalties.

What does a typical project cost, and how can I get an accurate quote?

Costs vary based on tank size, type (e.g., hygienic stainless vs. carbon steel), condition, scope (inspection only vs. full repair/construction), location, and urgency. We offer transparent, value-engineered pricing with no hidden fees. Start with a free site assessment or project scope; we’ll review your assets, outline options, and provide a clear, no-obligation quote tailored to your needs and budget.
