The topographic survey is designed to accurately locate and quantify sludge accumulations contained in crude oil storage tanks. By identifying the location and height of sludge banks, maintenance programs can be prioritised, stock control can be improved, and representative samples can be taken.
The topographic survey reduces the potential risk associated with landing a floating roof when large sludge banks are present, Mastir cannon and mixer patterns can also be monitored by surveying on a regular basis.
