Tank Testing Service

Service Overview

Our tank testing services can help to ensure your critical infrastructure remains servicable and compliant in relation to current Environment Agency standards.

It is important to test your tanks for several reasons. Firstly, due to modern refining techniques, fuel is now injected with more and more additives.  As a result, these additives can hasten the corrosion and degradation of your fuel storage tanks. Secondly, a high sludge content caused by rust, dirt and water in your fuel can lead to a blockage and further damage to your systems.  Regular tank testing can decrease your risk of;

  • A system failure, 
  • Tank and pipework damage
  • A serious leak – causing ground or watercourse contamination
  • A breech of your insurance contract resulting in a refusal to pay-out

Regular testing, inspecting and sampling is an essential maintenance and preventative measure that can protect your assets and save you money.
