Deformation, Bund Capacity & Compliance

Deformation, Bund Capacity & Compliance

Arthian delivers high-accuracy storage tank surveys for operational facilities, tank farms and high-hazard sites across the UK. Our surveys support assurance, integrity and maintenance programmes, and are aligned with standards including EEMUA 159, API 653, API 650 and EN14015.
 
We help clients assess tank condition, monitor structural movement, and model bund capacity to meet COMAH containment policy and environmental risk tolerability criteria.

What we Survey

We help our clients with the following:

What We Survey
Survey Methods & Technologies
Deliverables
COMAH Part B Permits

What We Survey

  • Tank shell deformation and ovality
  • Shell verticality and radial deflection
  • Tank floor subsidence and settlement
  • Rim seal compression and roof alignment
  • Bund volume and containment capacity
  • Tie-in points and dimensional control
  • Tank tilt and foundation movement

Survey Methods & Technologies

  • 3D laser scanning and point cloud modelling
  • UAV drone capture for inaccessible assets
  • Digital tank strapping and calibration tables
  • Remote floor scanning for confined space avoidance
  • CAD, BIM and GIS-ready deliverables

Deliverables

  • 2D and 3D drawings of tank geometry
  • Deformation heat maps and verticality reports
  • Bund capacity calculations and containment modelling
  • Rim seal inspection drawings with tolerance overlays
  • Historical comparison with previous scans
  • Animated fly-throughs for visual interrogation

Frequently Asked Questions

What standards do your tank surveys follow?

We work to EEMUA 159, API 653, API 650 and EN14015 standards, ensuring regulator-aligned outputs for integrity, compliance and risk management.

Can you assess bund capacity and containment compliance?

Yes—our surveys include bund volume modelling and containment strategy assessments aligned with COMAH containment policy and CIRIA C736.

Do you offer tank floor and foundation scans?

Absolutely. Our 3D laser scanning methods allow remote capture of tank floors and foundations, reducing confined space entry and improving accuracy.

Can you compare current tank condition with previous surveys?

Yes—we provide historical comparison and differential analysis to track movement, deformation and settlement over time.
