Context

A multinational food processing manufacturer based in Europe, required full audits for over 40 tanks and silos. They knew that traditional methods of inspection would have been too time consuming for them. Therefore, they contacted BioScan, a provider of effective and high-quality tank integrity inspection services to perform the project within a tight deadline.

Challenges

Our task was to detect cracks at weld seams and stress points, and to assess corrosion and mechanical wear, among other issues. In short, we had to inspect the overall health of more than 40 tanks and silos within the assigned deadline.

Silo Maintenance

How We Dealt with the Challenges

We deployed IRATA-certified rope access technicians into tanks and silos. They were equipped with electronic crack detection equipment. They checked each weld seam and stress point for cracks, assessed traces of corrosion, and mechanical wear. During the inspection, we flagged 17 cracks for repair and discovered multiple corroded and damaged points.

Outcome

We repaired 44 tanks and silos over a span of four weeks, ensuring that every crack and defect was addressed. After inspecting every vulnerable point, our well-trained and skilled technicians performed on-the-spot silo tanks repairs, making all tanks and silos audit-ready while keeping silo maintenance costs low.

This case study is a testament to our expertise in real-time silo inspection and repair. We rigorously strive to ensure every inspection is carried out with the highest level of accuracy, leaving no defect undetected. Our precision in silo crack testing helps clients avoid unexpected shutdowns, supports audit readiness, and keeps costs and disruptions to a minimum.
