Tank foundation inspection
When it comes to ensuring the integrity and safety of pressure vessels and storage tanks, a thorough tank foundation inspection is non-negotiable. The foundation plays a critical role in supporting the vessel or tank structure, providing stability against external forces such as wind, seismic activity, and internal loads generated by the contents of the vessel.
The foundation must be capable of transferring all imposed loads to the surrounding soil without causing excessive settlement or movement that could lead to structural failure. This is especially important for large tanks located in areas prone to natural hazards like earthquakes or high winds. The integrity of the tank’s foundation directly impacts its operational safety and compliance with local, national, and international regulations.
Our inspection process begins with a detailed assessment of the soil conditions surrounding the tank. Soil testing involves excavation sampling and analysis to determine the type and load-bearing capacity of the subgrade. This data is essential for ensuring that the foundation design adequately supports the vessel's weight and operational requirements. Following this, we assess the concrete slab or structural support beneath the tank, looking for cracks, voids, and other defects that could compromise the foundation’s integrity.
The inspection also includes a review of the drainage system to ensure it is functioning correctly. Proper drainage prevents water accumulation around the foundation, which can lead to soil erosion and undermine stability. Additionally, we check for signs of frost heave or thaw settlement in regions with extreme temperature fluctuations, as these conditions can affect the foundation's performance.
Once the inspection is complete, a comprehensive report is provided detailing all findings along with recommendations for necessary repairs or reinforcement measures. This ensures that any issues are promptly addressed to maintain operational safety and regulatory compliance.
