API 653 TANK INSPECTION REPORT COMPLETION

  • Reports based on API 653, EEMUA 159, AS 1692, STI SP001, PMET, and other tank standards you may have never heard of.
  • Interpretation of obscure and often-overlooked references within API 653, including requirements hidden in checklists, notes, annexes, and referenced documents.
  • Access to evaluation criteria derived from international standards beyond the traditional API framework.
  • Support for welded tanks, bolted tanks, and unconventional storage tank configurations.
  • The “Simple Folder Approach™”: send a link containing your available documentation, answer our technical questions, and receive a structured inspection report without unnecessary administrative delays.
  • Automated reporting workflows that significantly reduce report preparation time while maintaining technical consistency and traceability.
  • Application of OSHA requirements related to tank inspection, access, maintenance, and safe operation.
  • Resolution of conflicts and inconsistencies between different international tank standards.
  • Identification of requirements that many inspectors know exist, but few can technically explain.
  • Assessment of findings using the original intent and engineering philosophy behind the standards—not just checklist compliance.
  • Practical experience with standards and references used in petroleum facilities, terminals, industrial plants, and chemical storage operations.
  • Engineering support for situations where the primary standard does not provide a direct answer.
  • Documentation support for audits, insurance reviews, regulatory compliance, and asset integrity programs.
  • Use of historical references, secondary guidance documents, and industry practices rarely discussed in conventional training courses.
  • Because some of the most important tank requirements are not always found where most people are looking.
  • The last tank inspection report prepared under this approach was for a facility located more than 1,000 km from the nearest major population center.
