Certified, accurate integrity testing at the pre-bury and post-bury stage for new site installations
Fuel site owners and operators are required to do a UST tightness test prior to commissioning new sites as per EPA regulations.
Unfortunately, 90% of new or remodelled sites that pass a gauge pressure test have an installation issue such as water ingress and small leaks from pipes, fittings and vents. If left undetected it can mean cutting up concrete, excavation, repair and possible remediation to fix a leaking installation.
UST installation testing at both the pre-bury and post-bury stages ensure you’re putting a 100% tight fuel system into the ground, protecting your multi-million dollar investment from the get-go.
Traditional testing technology doesn’t detect leaks smaller than 1.59 gallons/ 6.01 litres per hour, or 13,900 gallons/ 52,617.22 litres per year – in or out of the tank.
Our EPA-certified pre and post-bury test can detect ullage leaks equivalent to 0.025 gallons/ 0.09 litres per hour (gph) – 400 per cent more accurate than current USA leak detection thresholds.
Never bury an installation issue with the world’s most accurate test.

With today’s ultra-low sulfur diesel fuels, USTs need to be as tight as possible to prevent water ingress that causes major headaches like biological activity, accelerated corrosion and contaminated product unfit for sale.
There’s a clear correlation between ullage and fitting issues and fuel contamination in the underground tank.
Perfectly tight storage systems through pre-bury and post-bury testing have the lowest operating cost, the best environmental and safety outcomes over the 30-year life of the asset.
It can potentially save hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance programs and reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of your UST investment.

Independent third party precision testing of the tank and lines is carried out to detect leaks and make repairs to the system before back fill and concrete is poured. The test is conducted for a minimum of 18 minutes and collects a large amount of data, providing a rolling view of the actual leak threshold.
Certified testing of the final fuel system is conducted before the first fuel delivery into the tank, confirming UST integrity to 0.025 gph or less. Concrete is only poured when the system is perfect. The UST is tested again after concrete to confirm no disturbance on integrity.
For existing fuel sites our precision tank and line integrity technology provides fast, accurate leak detection testing with digitally verified results.
