When should tanks ideally be moved?

The ideal time to move tanks is during inspections and testing. This practice ensures that the tanks can be thoroughly examined for any structural integrity issues, leaks, or other compliance factors that may affect their safe operation. By moving the tanks during inspections, technicians can access their full exterior and address any necessary maintenance or repairs without restriction.

Additionally, inspecting tanks while they are away from their normal position provides an opportunity to perform automated and manual testing for leaks and structural weaknesses that might not be visible when in place. This proactive approach helps in maintaining safety standards and preventing environmental hazards.
