Storage Tank (API 653) Audit App turns storage tank (API 653) audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each storage tank against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare storage tank (API 653) audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Storage Tank (API 653) Audit App runs a scored storage tank audit covering shell, roof, and base for corrosion and deformation, bund or secondary containment integrity, level gauge, alarms, and overfill protection, vents, valves, and connections, and coating condition and cathodic protection, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, storage tank findings live on paper and in chat. A storage tank fault such as shell corrosion and pitting slips through. An audit then means rebuilding storage tank evidence from folders.
Storage Tank (API 653) Audit App keeps one record per storage tank and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each storage tank finding is tracked to verified closure. Terminal and storage operations teams see storage tank completion and overdue actions across the energy & utilities portfolio. Every storage tank record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Storage Tank (API 653) Audit App?
A comprehensive storage tank audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit API 653 storage tank programmes with structured scoring, evidence capture, and follow-up workflows. Your audit should include sections for shell, roof, and base for corrosion and deformation; bund or secondary containment integrity; and level gauge, alarms, and overfill protection, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.
How to Use Storage Tank (API 653) Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a storage tank (API 653) audit:
Open the storage tank (API 653) audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each storage tank against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall storage tank (API 653) score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed storage tank (API 653) criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the storage tank (API 653) audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Storage Tank Audit Cover?
A storage tank audit scores condition against DSEAR and environmental containment standards, checking shell, roof, and base for corrosion and deformation, bund or secondary containment integrity, level gauge, alarms, and overfill protection, vents, valves, and connections, coating condition and cathodic protection, and foundation, settlement, and access. Each storage tank finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the storage tank audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

What Storage Tank (API 653) Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Storage Tank (API 653) work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Storage Tank (API 653) Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Storage Tank (API 653) issues get logged, then quietly forgotten
A failed item is noted during a routine audit. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next audit finds the same problem on the same storage tank. The storage tank (API 653) issue is logged, not closed.
Problem
Failed storage tank (API 653) items noted but never assigned to anyone
No due date on a storage tank fix, so nothing is ever overdue
The storage tank fix is marked done with no proof it happened
Solution
Every failed storage tank (API 653) item becomes an owned corrective action
Closure needs a storage tank verification photo before sign-off
Overdue actions escalate automatically
You find out about a storage tank (API 653) problem from a complaint
There is no live view of storage tank (API 653) status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the storage tank is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.
Problem
No live view of storage tank (API 653) status across sites
Storage Tank (API 653) problems surface as complaints, not as data
Storage Tank (API 653) risk is invisible until it becomes an incident
Solution
Live multi-site dashboard of storage tank (API 653) completion and open issues
Storage Tank (API 653) risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
Configurable dashboards filter storage tank (API 653) results by site and date
Every auditor scores the storage tank (API 653) audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The storage tank (API 653) audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Storage Tank (API 653) scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Storage tank sections get skipped with no record
Storage Tank (API 653) scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted storage tank (API 653) criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory storage tank sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable storage tank (API 653) scores that roll up across the estate
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Storage Tank (API 653) Audit App check on a storage tank audit?
Storage Tank (API 653) Audit App runs a scored storage tank audit against DSEAR and environmental containment standards, checking shell, roof, and base for corrosion and deformation, bund or secondary containment integrity, level gauge, alarms, and overfill protection, vents, valves, and connections, and coating condition and cathodic protection. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for terminal and storage operations teams rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.
Which storage tank defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the storage tank failures that matter most: shell corrosion and pitting, cracked or leaking bund, overfill protection failure, and leaking valves and connections. Left unchecked, a fault such as shell corrosion and pitting can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so terminal and storage operations teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Storage Tank (API 653) Audit App support for storage tank work?
Storage Tank (API 653) Audit App keeps storage tank checks aligned to DSEAR and environmental containment standards. The photos and readings each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, terminal and storage operations teams pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run storage tank checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Storage Tank (API 653) Audit App is offline-first: teams complete storage tank checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So terminal and storage operations teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a storage tank audit was completed?
Every completed storage tank audit carries shell corrosion photo, bund integrity photo, and overfill alarm test note, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, terminal and storage operations teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
