Storage Tank (API 653) Inspection App runs structured storage tank (API 653) inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each storage tank, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see storage tank (API 653) compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Storage Tank (API 653) Inspection App runs a structured storage tank inspection 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) Inspection 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) Inspection App?
A comprehensive storage tank inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect API 653 storage tanks with shell, floor, roof, and corrosion checkpoints plus evidence capture. Your inspection 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 inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Storage Tank (API 653) Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps storage tank (API 653) inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned storage tank (API 653) template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, storage tank, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the storage tank.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially shell corrosion and pitting, cracked or leaking bund, overfill protection failure, leaking valves and connections.
For every failed storage tank (API 653) item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the storage tank form. The storage tank report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Storage Tank Inspection Cover?
A storage tank inspection covers 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. Terminal and storage operations teams capture a photo and a reading on each storage tank point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the storage tank round off. So every storage tank record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What Storage Tank (API 653) Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Storage Tank (API 653) work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Storage Tank (API 653) Inspection 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 inspection. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next inspection 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Storage Tank (API 653) Inspection App check on a storage tank inspection?
Storage Tank (API 653) Inspection App runs a structured storage tank inspection 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. Each point is captured on mobile with a photo and a reading, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so terminal and storage operations teams work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.
Which storage tank defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection 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) Inspection App support for storage tank work?
Storage Tank (API 653) Inspection 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) Inspection 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 inspection was completed?
Every completed storage tank inspection 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.
