Inspection Focus Parameters
- 01Roof, shell, supports and appurtenances
- 02Coatings, corrosion and visible deformation
- 03Internal surfaces where remote access is suitable
- 04Locations requiring thickness or material testing
Target Deliverables
- 01External and internal image record
- 02Defect and anomaly register
- 03Thickness data where separately scoped
- 04Follow-up access or testing recommendations
Separate visible condition from material condition
High-resolution imagery records visible defects and coating condition. Remaining wall thickness or subsurface concerns require an appropriate testing method and should not be inferred from imagery alone.
Key Considerations
- Define visual and testing objectives separately
- Nominate priority zones
- Agree how observations will be referenced
Resolve access and operational constraints
Remote internal capture may reduce personnel entry, but asset geometry, cleanliness, contents and operational controls determine suitability. The scope should record those constraints rather than promise a universal method.
Key Considerations
- Confirm asset status and internal environment
- Review openings and obstructions
- Document isolation and permit responsibilities

Discuss a tank inspection scope
Share the asset type, the decision the inspection needs to support, and any known access constraints. The technical team will define an appropriate scope.
