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:

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.
