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 Detroit asset base

Detroit is anchored by Marathon Petroleum's Detroit refinery — the only refinery in Michigan — which processes heavy Canadian crude, alongside Cleveland-Cliffs' Dearborn Works integrated steel mill and DTE Energy's fossil and nuclear generating fleet. Heavy-crude processing units run higher corrosion and fouling rates than light-crude refineries, driving frequent UT/PAUT thickness monitoring and RBI-scheduled turnarounds under API 510/570 for Marathon's coker, hydrotreating, and sulfur-recovery units. Michigan EGLE environmental oversight and the region's aging automotive-era industrial infrastructure make digital-twin-based lifecycle tracking valuable for both refining and steel assets navigating life-extension and modernization decisions.

How the work is controlled

Every examination carries its own evidence chain: the technician's certification for the method and level under ASNT SNT-TC-1A or ISO 9712, current on the day of inspection; the calibration status of instruments, probes, wedges and reference blocks, traceable under ISO 17025; and the revision of the procedure and technique sheet in force at the time. An ASNT NDT Level III reviews and signs the final disposition. That bundle is what a client or accreditation audit examines, and it is recorded as the work happens rather than assembled afterwards.

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
