Safety Inspection System
Comprehensive safety inspections for Self Bunded Tanks
Self Bunded Tanks require systematic regular safety inspections to maintain structural integrity, prevent leaks, and ensure compliance with safety standards—especially since they often store hazardous or flammable liquids.
Tank Structure Inspection
- Check for signs of corrosion, rust spots, discoloration, or thinning of metal surfaces
- Look for physical damage like dents, cracks, or warping
- Verify protective coatings or liners remain intact with no peeling or degradation
- Examine tank base and support structures for stability issues
Leak Prevention and Containment System
- Inspect sealants around access points for tightness and wear
- Check outer bund for signs of leakage, pooling liquid, or staining
- Verify leak detection systems are functional and properly calibrated
- Test alarms and monitoring wells for effectiveness
Electrostatic Protection System
- Check grounding connections for security and corrosion
- Verify condition of conductive materials like hoses or coatings
- Test static monitoring devices for accurate charge detection
- Inspect operator grounding tools for proper condition and use
Liquid Transfer and Control Components
- Inspect valves, pumps, and hoses for leaks, wear, or blockages
- Ensure valves open and close smoothly without sticking
- Check hoses for cracks, bulges, or kinks that could cause ruptures
- Test level monitoring systems for accurate liquid volume readings
Safety Accessories and Emergency Systems
- Inspect fire suppression equipment for expiration dates and accessibility
- Test emergency shut-off valves for quick activation
- Check ventilation systems for proper function and obstruction
- Ensure all safety equipment is ready for immediate use
In summary, regular safety inspections for Self Bunded Tanks encompass structural integrity, leak containment, electrostatic protection, transfer components, and emergency systems. These checks not only prevent accidents but also extend the tank's service life, ensuring it operates safely and reliably for its intended use.
