​​API 653

​​

Vista Precision delivers comprehensive API 653 inspections to help operators maintain the safety, integrity, and compliance of their aboveground storage tanks. Their certified inspectors follow a disciplined, standards-based approach that evaluates tank condition from the foundation to the roof, ensuring every component meets stringent regulatory and engineering requirements. By combining deep field expertise with proven methodologies, Vista Precision helps clients reduce risk, extend asset life, and operate with confidence.
 

The inspection process begins with a thorough review of tank history, design specifications, and prior inspection records. From there, Vista Precision conducts detailed external and internal assessments, including visual inspections, ultrasonic thickness testing, and corrosion evaluation. Advanced non-destructive testing techniques allow their team to detect issues early—before they become costly failures—while providing precise data to support maintenance planning and repair decisions.
 

Beyond compliance, Vista Precision’s approach is focused on actionable insight. Their inspection reports are clear, detailed, and prioritized, giving operators a roadmap for repairs, alterations, or continued service in accordance with API 653 guidelines. Whether supporting routine interval inspections or helping clients qualify for extended service intervals, Vista Precision partners closely with operators to optimize tank performance, minimize downtime, and ensure long-term operational reliability.

What's better than a good API 653 inspection? Being able to etend your inspection interval.

Vista's Tank Assessment Program (VistaTAP) is a groundbreaking API 653-compliant method incorporating direct measurement tools to determine the internal inspection interval in API 653 during an in-service inspection. Using VistaTAP, an operator can extend inspection intervals by 7-10 years.
