This video details a drone-based approach for performing API 653 compliant inspections on fixed roof storage tanks. By using FAA Part 107 licensed commercial drone operations, the inspection process avoids the necessity for traditional scaffolding and confined space entry, reducing the associated safety risks and costs for facilities like refineries, terminals, and chemical plants.
What this video covers
- Comprehensive visual survey of roof structures, including rafters, connections, and shell-to-roof welds.
- Documentation and corrosion mapping for tank shells, bottoms, and nozzles.
- Delivery of API 653 compliant inspection reporting.
- Removal of the need for confined space entry during the inspection process.
TechCorr uses this UAS technology to provide efficient, data-driven assessments of storage tank integrity.
