Robotic Tank Corrosion Mapping
What Is It
See Corrosion Before It Becomes a Problem
Precision Inspection. Smarter Corrosion Control.
Storage tanks are constantly exposed to moisture, chemicals, stored materials, and harsh operating conditions. Over time, this can lead to corrosion and metal loss. Our tank corrosion mapping service provides a detailed picture of the tank's condition using robotic inspection and ultrasonic testing.
Our inspections support API 653-based tank integrity and inspection requirements.
It helps you:
- Detect hidden corrosion and wall thinning
- Measure material loss accurately
- Identify critical areas requiring attention
- Plan maintenance before failures occur
- Extend tank service life
Why It Matters
Corrosion Is Silent. Its Impact Isn't.
Accurate Detection
Identify corrosion and wall-thickness loss before it becomes critical.
Safer Inspection
Robotic systems reduce the need for manual access to difficult or hazardous areas.
Better Decisions
Get clear inspection data to prioritize repairs and maintenance.
Longer Tank Life
Understand the condition of your tank and plan maintenance proactively.
How It Works
Our Tank Corrosion Mapping Process
A systematic inspection process designed to identify corrosion accurately and deliver clear, actionable results.
Pre-Assessment
We review tank history, previous inspection reports, operating conditions, and access requirements.
Robotic Setup
Our robotic crawlers, UT probes, and inspection systems are configured according to the tank and inspection area.
Automated Scanning
The robotic system scans accessible tank surfaces and collects ultrasonic thickness data.
Thickness Mapping & Analysis
Measurements are analyzed and converted into easy-to-understand C-scan maps, thickness charts, and corrosion indicators.
Reporting & Action Plan
You receive a detailed inspection report with priority areas and recommendations for repair, monitoring, or further testing.
Our Technology
Advanced Tools for Smarter Tank Inspection
Our inspection approach combines robotic systems with proven non-destructive testing technologies.
Robotic Crawlers
