ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANK REPAIR
Our engineers are experienced in the design, fabrication, operation, & inspection of above ground storage tanks giving them the perspective they need to provide common sense consultation that will save your facility direct and indirect cost from repairs.
RISK BASED INSPECTIONS (RBI) SERVICES
The goal of RBI is to optimize inspection-related activities for equipment using updated technologies, sound inspection strategies and RBI software capabilities. This process then enables facilities to achieve optimized maintenance scheduling, prioritization of equipment inspections, focused inspection dollars on the most critical areas, extended inspection intervals of low-risk equipment, and to facilitate run/repair/replace decisions.
API 570 PROCESS PIPING INSPECTION
All hydrocarbon & chemical process piping that has been placed in service falls under API-570. Some piping that has been designated as “out of service” may be covered under this code if it is possible that it would be a safety hazard due to continuing deterioration. Other piping not specifically mentioned in API-570 can be inspected at the owner user’s discretion, such as PVC and Tubing.
API 510 PRESSURE VESSEL INSPECTION
API 510 covers the inspection, repair, alteration, and rerating activities for pressure containing vessels as well as the pressure relieving devices that protect the equipment covered in the code. This code is applicable to refining and chemical processing plant equipment as well as the equipment from other industrial and manufacturing companies. If the equipment is in-service and stamped with an ASME “U” stamp, then the equipment was constructed to ASME Sec. VIII Div. 2 and is covered under API 510.
API 653 ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANK INSPECTION
Tanks built to API 650 and its predecessor API 12C that are in-service are covered by API-653. Tank foundation, bottom, shell, structure, roof, attached appurtenances, & nozzles are all required to be inspected. Inspections are required at recommended intervals to remain compliant with code and environmental regulations.
STI SP001 – ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANK INSPECTION
The STI SP001 standard contains inspection and evaluation criteria for shop-built and small field-erected tanks not governed by API 653 codes, but require regular inspection and maintenance to remain compliant. This includes storage tanks up to 50,000 gallons (189,271 liters), including tanks that are portable, skid-mounted, liner-equipped, double-walled, and partially buried. This standard also covers the inspection of smaller portable containers such as 55-gallon drums, intermediate bulk containers or (IBC’s), and other container that are constructed of metal or plastic. Inspections are required at recommended intervals to remain compliant with the code and environmental regulations.

DRAFTING
An isometric drawing represents the basic system configuration of the pipe system in the field. Drawings typically incorporate all known data from combined spool piece drawings as well as noting all indicated welds during field walkdown. InServe uses a detailed template for CAD drawings allowing for continuous updating to track past and present NDE efforts, material of construction, pipe footage, etc.
