The scope may include accessible exterior and interior surfaces, coatings, corrosion, leakage, foundations, supports, ladders, platforms, vents, overflows, valves, level indicators, heating components, and surrounding conditions. The final scope depends on the tank type, access, operating status, and applicable requirements.
Not always. When conditions and tank configuration are suitable, an underwater ROV inspection can document interior conditions while the tank remains in service. Some findings, repairs, testing, or inaccessible areas may still require draining or a separate entry inspection.
Inspection activities occur at different intervals under NFPA 25, and the appropriate schedule also depends on tank construction, corrosion protection, climate, condition history, adopted code, and the authority having jurisdiction. We can help define a scope based on your asset and records.
Yes. We can organize observations and photographs to support an NFPA 25–informed inspection and maintenance program. The authority having jurisdiction and the fire protection professional responsible for the system determine final compliance requirements.
Projects can include elevated, ground-level, steel, concrete, welded, bolted, and combined-use water storage tanks serving sprinkler, standpipe, hydrant, or other water-based fire protection systems.
You receive a report describing the inspection scope, accessible areas, photo-documented observations, and prioritized next steps. Findings may lead to routine monitoring, cleaning, coating work, repairs, testing, or evaluation by an engineer or other qualified specialist.
