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.
This approach reflects Vinçotte's commitment to achieving the highest standards of quality and efficiency in asset management, particularly for storage tanks. Key features of this standard are:
Asset performance optimisation
Vinçotte aims to maximise storage tank performance by conducting purpose-driven inspections and implementing targeted measures to improve structural integrity.
Risk management and Compliance
The Best-in-Class approach involves comprehensive risk analyses, where Vinçotte meets both legal standards and the specific needs of the customer.
Cutting-edge technologies
By incorporating cutting-edge technologies into the inspection process, Vinçotte gathers accurate data to deliver an in-depth evaluation of the tank’s condition.
Continuous Improvement
The Best-in-Class Asset Management standard focuses on fostering a culture of continuous improvement, with Vinçotte committed to the ongoing optimisation of processes and procedures.
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
