Tank and Silo Crack Testing and Inspection
Regular tank and silo inspection is necessary for ensuring site and worker safety, environmental protection, and minimal downtime. However, constant inspections and maintenance without a proper schedule mean a lot of unnecessary downtime. Hence, finding the right balance is critical for safety and profitability.
Historically, silo or tank inspection and repair could only be done using scaffolding. It was a time-consuming and costly task. However, today Bioscan can perform this task within hours using rope access methods on diameters up to 4 metres or with our unique rope access beam on diameters above 4m. It ensures that your downtime is minimised and you are quickly back into production.
Our rope access specialists prepare the rope systems on the outside of the tank, either using a tripod or any existing rigging points available. This allows for safe working conditions for tank crack testing and rescues to be conducted if required. The rope access beam has been specifically designed to fit inside manways and then quickly installed to the desired width.
Our technicians perform 100% inspection and any required welding repairs/polishing. After repairs are complete, Bioscan conducts a re-inspection of the repaired areas to ensure complete tank and silo management with no further cracks/defects have appeared in the HAZ (heat-affected zone).
