 Measurements on tanks to determine deflections on the tank shell and tank bottom as a result of soil settlements forms part of the routine maintenance inspections.
In accordance with the applicable regulations, these surveys are supposed to be carried out regularly. To assess whether a tank meets the necessary requirements several surveys can be made, depending on the type of tank ad hence. The following measurements can be taken:
• Horizontal survey of the tank shell • Tank bottom level survey • Out-of-roundness survey
To process these surveys, Verwater developed special software programs for storage tanks. Measurements can be presented graphically and numerically.
An independent evaluation is obtained by comparing the results with general standards in tank maintenance and construction. |
