Soil Sampling and Tank Corrosion Surveys

Soil Sampling

Soil extraction probes are bored into the earth surrounding the underground storage tank. Samples are taken at a depth of 6-12 inches below the tank invert. Samples are immediately transferred to sterile containers for transportation to a state certified laboratory. A chain of custody is established immediately to ensure sample integrity. Quality assurance/quality control is preserved by using separate sterile sample tubes which eliminates the occurrence of cross contamination of individual samples.


Corrosion Testing

Residential Underground Storage Tank Corrosion Survey

A corrosion survey is valuable in determining the current status of an underground storage tank's life and risk for a release. Corrosion is the main element in tank and piping failures and a comprehensive survey will allow you to evaluate the status of an underground storage tank for repair or replacement. Accurate Tank Testing can provide this service to help you identify and determine your underground corrosive levels.

Testing is by certified technicians with years of field experience and the cost is nominal for the information you receive.

National Association of Corrosion Engineers standards are followed using a tank-to-electrolyte potentials established over years of study and evaluation of existing underground storage tanks.
