Flanders imposes rigorous regulations for tank inspections to safeguard safety, the environment, and technical compliance. Under the supervision of the Department of the Environment and local environmental authorities, these regulations mandate periodic inspections of above-ground storage tanks containing hazardous substances, which must meet stringent standards and be carried out by recognised inspection bodies.
4.0 Tank Inspections
Vinçotte's approach to tank inspections is distinguished by a highly structured and efficient approach, centred on a Damage Mechanism-Based Approach, a Tailored and Goal-oriented strategy and an Efficient Technology Based methodology:
Damage Mechanism Based Approach:
Identification of specific damage mechanisms relevant to the storage tank in question.
- Detailed analysis of potential risks and the impact on the tank.
Tailored and goal-oriented:
Customised inspections tailored to the unique characteristics and requirements of each storage tank.
Targeted approach aimed at increasing efficiency and providing focused solutions.
Efficient Technology Based:
Use of cutting-edge technologies and tools for accurate measurements and analysis.
Streamlined data collection and processing to enhance the efficiency of inspection procedures.

Adjusting inspections and frequency #
Adjustments are made to the inspection procedures, techniques, or frequency when results indicate the need for changes. These adjustments may involve recommending further inspections or adapting the frequency of future inspections to meet both the results and the customer’s needs.
