Our client contacted us after an NDT report flagged three storage tanks as failing verticality checks. The assessment was carried out using a plumb line, which can be unreliable. To avoid taking the tanks out of service—at a potential cost of £120k+/—they needed a more precise verification method.

We conducted a 3D laser scan to capture the as-built condition of each tank. Long-range scans recorded the full shell, while short-range scans focused on the annular plate. The cleaned data was compared against a perfect cylinder, producing a heat map of deviations. From this, we extracted vertical and radial cuts, along with detailed annular plate analysis, providing the client with clear data to assess the extent of any movement.
