Dexon TechnologyDexon Technology recently inspected two 35+ meter-high double-wall gas storage tanks, completing the entire scope of work in just 15 days—all while upholding the strict standards required by the Ministry of Energy for its mandated inspections.
Traditionally, operators completed inspections using scaffolding to reach pre-defined points. With a 35m high storage tank with dozens of features to cover, setting-up, breaking down, and doing it all over again drains manpower, stretches the timeline, and interferes with operations.
Combining the full range of NDT methods with rope access dramatically reduced inspection time and operational costs.
The inspections were performed by certified personnel and delivered in compliance with API 653 standards—all while hanging from 12 mm of nylon.
NDT services included:
External visual inspection
Ultrasonic thickness measurement
Tank settlement & plumbness survey
Roundness, peaking & banding measurement
Eddy current weld testing
Grounding resistance measurement
Thermography testing
Safety device function testing
With Rope Access, the inspection team could move swiftly between inspection points without the need for scaffolding.
Dexon is proud to support this operator in getting their operations safely back on schedule—before schedule—thanks to rope access and efficient execution.
