TankData 2000™
TankData 2000 is a new development that addresses the
needs of Owner/Users, Inspectors, Repair Firms, OEM's and anyone else
interested in the mechanical integrity of Aboveground Storage Tanks.
TankData combines the features of other "single function"
tank software by providing a multitude of capabilities within one,
easy-to-use software system. Each tank's inspection, design and
maintenance history is now conveniently available and displayed,
without extensive training, exorbitant costs, or unnecessary
"window dressing" that only serves to increase the price of
software. A Demo is available for download.

TML data available in tabular list
Utilizing the Microsoft Windows graphical user
interface, TankData provides the user with the following important features:
|
 |
API 653 calculation formulas with on-line updates of
corrosion rates, inspection intervals, "t-min's" and more; |
|
|
API 653 shell & bottom survey calculations and graphs; |
|
|
A thorough internal/external Tank Inspection Checklist
in compliance with API 653; |
|
|
A complete information database to allow recording of
all construction, maintenance, repair and inspection activities on
each AST, including generous narrative area for those items that just
won't fit into a nice neat box; |
|
|
Simple graphics routines that make recording of tank
inspection information quick and easy to manipulate. This allows
actual drawings to be developed of each AST shell, floor and roof,
with each drawing containing notes, data, thickness measurements,
edge/floor settlement, corrosion areas, etc.; |
|
|
Extensive use of Tool Tips on each field; |
|
|
Data is available for in-depth analysis via Microsoft Excel; |
|
|
NOW with selection of US or SI units to accommodate
your reporting needs |

Cost Benefit/Justification
By utilizing and implementing TankData, an
owner/user, inspection agency, or terminal manager can accurately and
simply record Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) inspections in complete
compliance to API 653 requirements. This program is also designed to
meet or exceed the requirements and expectations of OSHA 1910.119,
and the applicable environmental regulations at the place of installation.
Consider the following facts:
ESTIMATED COST SAVINGS - $10,000 FINE PER OCCURRENCE
-
State/local environmental laws are becoming more
stringent every day. Failure to document inspections on such items as
roof seals, cathodic protection, foundations, settlement, etc. has
resulted in some tanks being ordered to be completely removed from
service. Other violations have resulted in fines ranging from $1,000
to $50,000.
TankData Solves This Problem!
ESTIMATED COST SAVINGS - INCALCULABLE
-
API 653 AST Inspection Code (one of the documents
referenced by OSHA 1910.119) requires that complete inspection data
(external, thickness and internal) be maintained, along with
repair/alteration history and sketches showing repaired areas.
TankData Solves This Problem!
ESTIMATED COST SAVINGS - SEE ITEMS ABOVE
-
The typical man-hours needed to complete a single
AST inspection will usually be nearly doubled by the time the report
is completed. Preparation of hand-written reports, calculations, and
sketches are very time-consuming, and is commonly completed days or
weeks after the actual inspection has been completed. Often times,
this "lapse" in documentation efficiency results in lost
data, incorrect information, and scrambling to "recreate"
the inspection. With TankData, the technician can use a laptop
computer to simply type in the inspection results, and can also draw
any necessary sketches, without fumbling with paper, rulers,
protractors, etc.

ESTIMATED COST SAVINGS - MAN-HOUR REDUCTION
BY 30% TO 50% FOR EACH TANK INSPECTION |
