Frequently Asked Questions (Chennai Region)

How do you detect corrosion on the bottom underside of tank floor plates?

We utilize high-speed motorized Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) floor crawlers. The MFL sensors detect magnetic field leakage caused by volumetric metal loss on both top and bottom soil-side surfaces. Our teams serve facilities across Chennai, Chennai & Suburban Districts with Same-day Mobilization (< 2 hours).

What is vacuum box testing on tank floor lap welds?

A vacuum box with a transparent acrylic window is placed over soapy water-coated lap welds and pulled down to -5 to -10 psig vacuum. Any through-weld leak generates continuous foaming bubbles, locating leaks immediately. Our teams serve facilities across Chennai, Chennai & Suburban Districts with Same-day Mobilization (< 2 hours).
