Certified Tank Inspection and Testing Services in Illinois

Extend the life of your valuable resources with expert mechanical integrity evaluations and non-destructive testing.

Industrial Asset Management Made Simple

Our inspectors hold ASNT-SNT-TC-1A certification for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). We deliver measurable condition data that supports corrosion-rate estimates, remaining life planning, and repair prioritization. You get clear findings plus practical recommendations your team can apply to maintenance planning and compliance documentation.

Illinois assets face an exposure mix that can quietly accelerate deterioration. Humid summers, winter freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and frequent temperature swings can contribute to coating breakdown and corrosion, especially on outdoor above ground storage tanks and piping systems. We support both fixed interval inspections and risk-based inspections, tailoring scope to your equipment type, service conditions, and documentation needs.

We perform both fixed interval inspections and risk-based inspections to provide insight into the structural integrity of your assets when it is most needed. Our expert API 653, API 510, STI SP0001, and API 570 inspections will uncover exactly how well your tank is holding up, to both outside elements and the product it contains.

Why Illinois is Choosing NDT Tanknicians

Illinois is a national-scale energy and logistics state, which raises the bar for mechanical integrity and inspection documentation. The state supports major refining capacity, including Wood River (345,000 barrels per calendar day) and Robinson (253,000 barrels per calendar day) in the EIA’s Refinery Capacity report. Marathon also describes its Robinson refinery capacity at 253,000 bpcd.

Chicagoland adds another layer of demand. ExxonMobil notes its Joliet Operations refinery is equipped to handle 275,000 barrels of crude per day. When you combine refining, terminals, industrial manufacturing, and river and rail distribution, reliable tank and piping condition data becomes essential for planning and uptime.

Illinois is also a leading biofuels producer. The EIA’s Illinois overview notes the state is the third-largest ethanol-producing state and accounts for about 10% of total U.S. production (and similarly for biodiesel). Utilities and high-uptime facilities are equally important here. The EIA notes Illinois generates more electricity from nuclear energy than any other state.

• Repeatable inspection standards across tanks, piping, and pressure equipment

• Actionable reporting that supports maintenance planning, budgeting, and repair decisions

• Coatings, linings, and repair support to slow corrosion and extend asset life
