What tank inspection involves

Aboveground storage tank inspection covers the shell, floor, roof and appurtenances, establishing minimum thickness by course, floor condition, settlement, and the resulting inspection intervals under API 653.

Scope of work

External inspection of shell, roof, appurtenances, foundation and containment
Ultrasonic shell thickness by course with minimum-required-thickness calculation
Floor scanning by magnetic flux leakage with ultrasonic prove-up of indications
Settlement survey and evaluation against API 653 Annex B criteria
Vacuum box testing of floor welds and, where required, hydrostatic testing after repair

Governing codes

API 653 for inspection, repair, alteration and reconstruction, API 650 as the construction code, API 575 for practice, and API 579 where fitness-for-service assessment is required.

The Abu Dhabi asset base

Abu Dhabi holds 94% of the UAE's proven oil reserves and hosts ADNOC's sprawling network of offshore platforms, the Ruwais refinery complex, LNG storage at Das Island, and hundreds of kilometres of sour-gas pipelines. The scale and criticality of these assets make digital twin integration with NDT inspection data a regulatory and commercial imperative. ADNOC's internal integrity management initiatives align directly with the colour-coded condition outputs that digital twin platforms provide to inspection engineers.

How the work is controlled

Agree personnel qualification, equipment checks, procedure revision and review responsibilities for the examination. Retain those records with the results and coverage limitations.

What you receive

A report in your required format, with findings located against the component and, where relevant, against a persistent corrosion monitoring location so trends stay continuous between campaigns
Raw data in the instrument-native format plus an open export, so the dataset outlives any single supplier relationship
The procedure revision, technician certification state and instrument calibration status applicable at the time of examination
Where a finding affects continued service, the specific code clause governing the acceptance decision
