Our 5 Steps Process for MFL Inspection of Tanks

Critical Client Task

  • Standards & Regulations: Monitor, Understand and Foresee Evolution of Standards and Technical requirements, as well identify technical related critical risk factors, at International, National, and Inter-Company level.
  • Inspection Logistics : Map important requirements of Inspection Team travelling, hospitality, Customs procedures, transporting of specific inspection tools, insurance, Personal Protective Equipment avaliability, Safety Regulations and approvals, local lincensing, Work Permitts, etc..
  • Scope of Inspection : It is very critical to understand the Scope of Inspection, defining in the most proper way, the inspection targets. Corrosion Mapping, Integrity of Base material, Welds Inspection, Coating Inspection, etc.., are different scopes of inspection and required different analysis.
  • Landscape: Define the complementary activities, in predefined Landscape enviroment.
  • Human Resourses Availability : Evaluate the human resourses aailability, either within Swiss Approval and Client structure.

Services We Provide

  • Standards & Regulations: We define the Standards and Regulations, according which the inspection will be implemented. We propose technical inovvations to cover such standards in the maximum efficiency level..
  • Inspection Logistics : We offer a package in every inspection scheduled to be performed in clients site. Travelling and Hospitality at cost. Mobil and Demobil costs, clearly defined, but Free of Charge within 1 Day of travelling by car.

  • Human Resources Availability : Level III authorised personnel, as well Level II Inspectors, including Operators and Experts, are agreed with the Client, befor inspection.

Critical Client Task

  • Inspection Methodology : Depending on the type of material, the geometry, the critical conditins, the kind of inspection we are aiming to perform, inspection methodology selection, is crucial for the whole inspection proccess.
  • Methodologies Combination : In most of the times, we need a combination of inspection methodologies, and this is crucial for the sucess of the inspection itself. Swiss Approval is a unique Inspection Body, combining the most well known and recognised Advanced NDT methodologies, within our company, as we do not use SUB-Contractors for inspection services. We have the capacity to afront every inspection requirement, especially combined methodologies.
  • Tools Selection based on methodology adopted : We select our inspection tools case by case, depending on the combination of methodologies selected to implement.

Services We Provide

  • Inspection Methodology : We select the most suitable inspection methodology for each component /part to isnspect, including intermediate equipment.
  • Methodologies Combination : We also define and select combination of inspection methodologies, depending on the particular conditions for each inspection service.
  • Tools Selection based on methodology adopted : We guarantee the last technology tools, properly calibrated, for the highest level inspection performance posible.

Critical Client Task

  • BEFORE INSPECTION - Surfaces Cleaning: Before any inspection activity, the cleaning of surface has to be performed in a proper way. Removal of Insulation and Cleanig is an absolute requirement for a sucessful inspection.
  • DURING INSPECTION - Inspection Service : The inspection activity is performed with a calibrated Tool, by authorised Personnel, and according the inspection procedures.

Services We Provide

Critical Client Task

  • AFTER REPORTING - ROW Data Collection: All Inspection Data are collected and registered in our Inspection Data File, each file with similar inspection methodology and inspection tools. Swiss Approval is the owner of such Row Inspection Data, and this is our great legacy, makes Swiss Approval Unique Advanced NDT services provider.
  • Artificial Intelligence Data Base: The similar row Data, feed an Artificial Intelligence System, in order to develop our own Swiss Approval comparition tool, and be able to preliminary assess the results, before technical Review and assessment.

Services We Provide

  • AFTER REPORTING - Data Collection : Data are clasiffied according the similarity criteria, and registered in Swiss Approval Data base. Similarity criteria arebased on the inspection Tools caracteristics, Methodology Criteria, Standards requirements, Geometrical parameters, Material specifications, etc..
  • Artificial Intelligence Data Base : Through our Artificial Intelligence System, we will be able to have a first evaluation of findings, within seconds after Inspection Activities, with AI evaluation tool.

We are an impartial and independent Inspection and Certification Body, accredited ISO 17021, ISO 17020, ISO 17065, ISO 17024, ISO 17029, by EU and USA based Accreditation Bodies.
