Secondary Containment Integrity Compliance Audit

Secondary Containment Integrity Compliance Audit

Secondary Containment Integrity Compliance Audit

The Secondary Containment Integrity Compliance Audit is a critical component of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) management, ensuring that secondary containment structures are capable of preventing the release of hazardous materials into the environment. This audit is essential for facilities handling dangerous chemicals or waste products, as it helps maintain regulatory compliance and protects public health.

During this audit, we evaluate the integrity of secondary containment systems using a combination of visual inspection, hydrostatic testing, and other non-destructive testing methods. Our team ensures that all components meet stringent international standards, such as ISO 15026-3:2017 for liquid storage facilities.

The scope of this audit extends beyond simple inspections; it includes a thorough analysis of the containment system’s design, construction materials, and operational procedures. This comprehensive approach guarantees that any potential vulnerabilities are identified early, preventing costly failures or environmental incidents.

Our team employs advanced testing equipment to simulate real-world conditions and assess the performance of secondary containment systems under stress. By doing so, we provide accurate, reliable data that can be used for continuous improvement and compliance reporting. Compliance with local regulations such as EPA guidelines is a top priority during every audit.

The importance of this audit cannot be overstated. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties, environmental damage, and reputational harm. By partnering with us, you ensure that your facility remains compliant and safe, contributing to overall EHS performance.

  • Visual inspection
  • Hydrostatic testing
  • NDE (Non-Destructive Examination)
  • Compliance with ISO 15026-3:2017
  • Verification of design and construction materials
  • Evaluation of operational procedures

We offer a range of services to support your EHS efforts, including regular audits, remediation assistance, and training programs. Our goal is to provide you with the tools necessary to maintain regulatory compliance and protect your facility from potential risks.

Why It Matters

The integrity of secondary containment systems directly impacts environmental health, safety, and regulatory compliance. In case of a primary containment failure or accidental release, these systems are designed to prevent hazardous materials from reaching the environment. Failure to maintain proper integrity can lead to significant consequences:

  • Environmental contamination
  • Health risks for nearby communities
  • Financial penalties and legal liabilities
  • Damage to company reputation
  • Potential closure of operations

Our Secondary Containment Integrity Compliance Audit helps identify potential weaknesses before they become critical issues. By ensuring that your systems meet all necessary standards, we help you avoid these risks and maintain a safe working environment.

Quality and Reliability Assurance

The quality of our audits is paramount to the success of any facility's EHS management. We adhere strictly to international standards, ensuring that all tests are conducted with precision and accuracy.

  • ISO 15026-3:2017 - This standard sets the benchmark for integrity testing of liquid storage facilities.
  • Visual inspection ensures that there are no visible cracks or damages in the containment system.
  • Hydrostatic testing verifies the ability of the containment to withstand pressure without leaking.
  • NDE (Non-Destructive Examination) provides a detailed assessment of internal and external conditions.

We use state-of-the-art equipment that can simulate various environmental stresses, allowing us to accurately assess the performance of your secondary containment systems. Our reports are detailed and comprehensive, providing actionable insights for continuous improvement.

Our commitment to quality is reflected in our certification and accreditation by leading bodies such as ISO 9001:2015. This ensures that every audit we conduct meets the highest standards of reliability and accuracy.
