🛢️ Tank Floor Inspection: Protecting What’s Beneath Your Storage Tanks
Storage tanks are the backbone of industries that store liquids—be it oil, chemicals, or water. But what many don’t see is the most vulnerable part of the tank: the floor.
At Inspection Technic, we specialize in tank floor inspection services using advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques to detect corrosion, cracks, and thinning—before they become leaks or failures.
🔍 Why is Tank Floor Inspection Important?
Over time, the tank floor—especially the bottom plate—faces constant exposure to corrosion due to environmental moisture, sediment buildup, and chemical reactions. Undetected corrosion can cause:
Leaks and product loss
Environmental contamination
Major safety hazards
Costly shutdowns and repairs
Compliance violations
Regular tank floor inspections help detect problems early and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
🏭 Who Needs This?
Industries that require tank floor inspection include:
Oil & Gas Terminals
Petrochemical Plants
Power Generation Units
Water Treatment Facilities
Bulk Storage Facilities
Refineries and Chemical Industries
Whether it’s a fixed-roof or floating-roof tank, our certified team at Inspection Technic ensures zero compromise on tank integrity.

Digital mapping of defect locations
2. 🌡️ Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT)
Measures metal thickness precisely
Used for manual or spot checks
Essential for calculating remaining life
3. 🔦 Visual & Video Inspections
Inspection of floor plates, weld seams, and annular rings
High-definition imaging for documentation
4. ⚡ Spark Testing (when needed)
Detects coating failures or breaches on tank linings
All inspections are carried out by Level II/III certified NDT technicians, with real-time data logging and reporting.
