Tank & Pipe Testing
Our Tank Testing service is dedicated to ensuring the continued reliability and compliance of your critical infrastructure with the latest Environment Agency standards.
Regular tank testing is essential for several reasons. Firstly, modern refining techniques have led to the inclusion of more additives in fuel, which can accelerate the corrosion and degradation of your fuel storage tanks. Secondly, the presence of high sludge content, caused by rust, dirt and water in your fuel, can result in blockages and further harm to your systems.
By conducting routine tank testing, you can significantly reduce the risks of:
- System failure
- Damage to tanks and pipework
- Serious leaks that could contaminate the ground or watercourses
- Insurance contract breaches resulting in a refusal to reimburse
Regular testing, inspection and sampling are essential maintenance and preventive measures that not only protect your valuable assets but also save you money in the long run.
