The leading supplier of Tank crack testing and inspection services for Tanks, Silos, Vats and Storage Vessels.
In many industries, the need for the safe storage of products and liquids are critical to the complicated processes existing within the manufacturing system.
Crack tank and vessel inspection using non-destructive testing methods
Storage tanks, product vessels and silos can come in all shapes and sizes, horizontal or vertical and with many subjected to heating or cooling mediums and insulation.
The overall condition and quality of the contents are always a critical part of the ongoing manufacturing process.
Because of the nature of the processes involving tanks and the methods of fabrication used in their manufacture, material failures will inevitably occur during the useful life of the vessel. Whilst it is not possible to prevent these failures from taking place, it is possible to minimise the effect that they have when they occur, by routine inspection.

Clients have regarded them as a partnership of their processing storage activities, ensuring compliance with the regulations, directives and legislation.
It is not just routine preventative maintenance, but emergency call-outs do occur when leaks are apparent and INDEi will respond around the clock to the testing requirements of the client.
