As a direct result of the dramatic rise in U.S. crude oil production, the aboveground storage tank population has increased three-fold over the last eight years, especially for large tanks ranging >120,000 bbl. For every large tank, there are approximately 100 times more small tanks ranging <120,000 bbl. This rapid increase in tank population has tank owners facing greater challenges in meeting the API 653 Inspection schedules and, more importantly, managing the liabilities associated with protecting human life and the environment.
When taking a tank offline for maintenance, today’s tank owners are seeking cost-effective and measurable cost improvements and turnkey service. This can be accomplished by having fewer contractors on-site for these events, using technology options to eliminate manned entry during the cleaning process and, most importantly, using contractors with a proven track record of excellent safety performance.
Turner Specialty Services (TSS), a leader in industrial and environmental solutions, and a subsidiary of Turner Industries Group, LLC, has created a Total Tank Solutions (TTS) initiative. Led by industry tank veterans, this new group pairs decades of experience with the latest technology options to provide tank owners with a cost-effective, safe and seamless cleaning, inspection and repair experience.
