Storage Tank Inspection Checklist

agriculture safety inspection Template Checklist Form Cover

If you are looking for Oil and Gas Inspection Forms, you have come to the right place.

With Field Eagle, you have access to this checklist, amongst hundreds of others. You can also build your own templates, forms, checklists and more.

A storage tank inspection checklist is used to ensure that above-ground storage tanks used for crude oil, refined products, chemicals, and water are systematically assessed for structural integrity, containment effectiveness, and regulatory compliance.

To use this checklist, an inspector should conduct a systematic external visual inspection of the tank shell, roof, foundation, and secondary containment. Settlement, corrosion, coating condition, nozzle and fitting integrity, vent and flame arrester condition, and secondary containment drainage and condition should all be assessed. Internal inspections require tank entry procedures and are governed by API 653 inspection intervals based on corrosion rate calculations. All findings should be documented with photos, measurements where applicable, and recommended corrective actions.

API 653 provides the industry standard for inspection, repair, alteration, and reconstruction of above-ground storage tanks. EPA 40 CFR Part 112 SPCC regulations require inspection programs for tanks storing oil in quantities that could cause pollution to navigable waters. This checklist supports API 653 external inspection requirements and EPA SPCC inspection documentation, creating the records that demonstrate regulatory compliance and provide the baseline data for remaining life assessments.

  • Shell coating condition and holiday assessment
  • Tank roof condition including floating roof seals where applicable
  • Tank foundation settlement and condition

  • Secondary containment condition and drainage
  • Overfill protection device condition and function
  • Grounding and bonding connection condition
  • Tank marking and identification verification
  • Valve condition and operation
  • Cathodic protection system readings

The storage tank inspection checklist addresses API 653 above-ground storage tank inspection standard, EPA 40 CFR Part 112 Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure regulations, API 650 welded tanks for oil storage, STI SP001 standard for inspection of aboveground storage tanks, and AER Directive 055 for Alberta oil and gas storage tanks.

Yes. Every Field Eagle checklist and template is fully customizable. Add or remove inspection points, configure mandatory fields, add conditional logic, set required photo capture points, and adjust scoring criteria to match your specific equipment, site conditions, and regulatory requirements.

Yes. Field Eagle runs on tablets and operates fully offline. Your inspection teams complete checklists at remote sites, underground operations, offshore platforms, and any location without connectivity. All data syncs automatically when connectivity is restored.

Above-ground storage tank failures including leaks, spills, and structural failures can cause catastrophic environmental damage and significant financial liability. API 653 and EPA SPCC regulations require systematic inspection programs with documented records. A structured storage tank inspection checklist ensures every inspection covers the required items consistently, creates the documented records that API 653 and EPA auditors require, and provides the condition data needed for remaining life calculations.
