Reasons for Regular Inspection:

MESA can provide a wide range of inspection services for our customers, whether the reasons require Internal, External, Integrity, Formal, Compliance or simply Routine/Maintenance Inspections.

Environmental Compliance: Both Federal (EPA) and State environmental regulations require the routine inspections of tanks, pipelines, and pressure vessels.
Safety Compliance: OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) and local fire regulations require inspections to protect your employees and the general public.
DOT/Pipeline Safety Compliance: Both Federal (PHMSA) and State regulations call for the inspection of Distribution and Transmission pipelines and Breakout Tanks to maintain the integrity of the systems.
Insurance Compliance: Periodic inspection by qualified personnel may be a means to maintain insurance coverage or reduce to your premiums.
Costs: Routine inspections can translate to a reduction in operating and capital costs. When minor problems are found and corrected immediately, the possibility of a large spill and/or an expensive and time-consuming repair is reduced.
