During the interview, Tammy Melhart, Tank Service Line Manager at Amerapex , shared her technical expertise on the scope and responsiveness of NISTM 2026. In many situations, accumulated residues don’t always match expectations, allowing equipment inspection to make the difference between operational success and failure.
Robotic inspection in tanks and confined spaces
The result lies in the complete integration of services. Ameripex has decided to ensure perfect cleaning before beginning any technical inspection. This strategy eliminates unnecessary delays due to inadequate surface preparation and guarantees superior data quality.
Likewise, safety has become the top priority for terminal and refinery operators. The use of robotics to prevent personnel from entering confined spaces is changing the game in the sector.
Remote access technology allows workers to be removed from areas with serious risks to life and health. This deployment of automated systems is not intended to replace humans but to protect them while increasing the accuracy of integrity data collection.
Inspection, cleaning, and technical coating now coexist in an optimized workflow that reduces downtime. Maintaining the operational readiness of critical assets requires teams capable of pivoting to the unexpected with cutting-edge technological solutions.
