Storage tanks are subject to constant physical stress. Whether they’re holding crude oil at a refinery, refined petroleum products at a coastal terminal, or liquefied gas in sub-zero conditions, these structures are under continuous pressure – from the weight of their contents, changes in temperature, ground movement, and the passage…
Storage tanks are built to last, but they are not immune to the forces acting on them every day. Wind pressure, thermal cycling, foundation settlement and operational loading all take their toll over time. The result is deformation – subtle changes to a tank’s shell geometry that, left unchecked, can…
Unlock the potential of complete precision and accuracy with 3D modelling at Storage Tank Surveys. Renowned as a high-tech ‘crystal ball’ for storage tank surveyors, 3D modelling enables surveyors to obtain specific measurements and volumes from storage tanks. This geometric evaluation helps to provide comprehensive datasets, ensuring that the tanks…
Tank scanning is a non-invasive technology and survey method that is an integral part of storage tank analysis, capturing detailed measurements of the tank for accurate data points and reporting. With storage tanks often containing hazardous or flammable materials, they can pose a serious risk to human health and the…
At Storage Tank Surveys, we are experts in providing a wide range of storage tank solutions. This includes the creation of strapping tables as an effective method of measuring the volume of liquid within a storage tank. This article will define what strapping tables are, the history of the method…
Storage tank surveys are an essential part of the maintenance and inspection process for all tanks that store hazardous materials. These comprehensive surveys help to ensure the safe and effective operation of a storage tank and provide critical information on its integrity (condition). At Merrett Survey, we specialise in providing…
