Above-ground Storage Tank floor inspections are primarily driven by API 653 requirements. Traditional floor inspections are performed manually, requiring storage tanks to be taken out-of-service, cleaned, and degassed to allow workers to enter the confined space. These tank turnarounds create vapor clouds, create unique safety risks, and are extremely costly due to both prepping the tank for human occupation and the opportunity cost of being unavailable for use.

Diakont provides comprehensive storage tank floor inspection services using a robotic crawler called the Stingray, which is safely deployed into above ground storage tanks while they remain filled and operational. Using a combination of non-destructive examination (NDE) sensors housed within an explosion-proof enclosure, Stingray inspection systems supply complete inspection coverage in accordance with API 653 requirements.

Online tank floor inspections can be conducted more often than manual inspections which allows operators to prioritize tanks for turnarounds and extend inspection intervals through risk-based inspections. This inspection technology is also crucial for gaining information on newly-acquired assets with limited documentation.
