Dock Line Inspections
Annual Coast Guard required dock line inspections are traditionally performed by hydrostatic testing. This testing inherently leads to excessive downtime, high costs and HS&E issues. CRT has successfully implemented US Coast Guard-approved alternate inspection programs that can significantly reduce all of these factors. Our dock line inspections do not require downtime, cleanout or line breaks. These inspection programs show typical savings of 25-55% in year one, with additional substantial reductions in subsequent years. CRT also has the experience and expertise to assist you in securing the proper documentation with the USCG.
Proven Benefits of Alternate Inspection Methods vs Hydrostatic Testing
- Substantial cost savings when transitioning to USCG approved alternate inspection program
- Green process – eliminating waste typically created with hydrotesting
- Elimination of facility downtime and associated truck/rail/barge demurrage
- Eliminate potential IFR damage due to pigging & clearing
- Eliminate product losses due to shutdown & recommissioning
- Eliminate potential product contamination
- Eliminate gauging & reconciliation of product tanks associated with clearing lines
- Reduced liability when using professionally certified inspectors
