Falcker developed, in collaboration with Vopak, a tank inspection platform consisting of a site explorer, condition monitoring, and a life cycle planner. The platform will be gradually deployed at Vopak's terminals over the next few years.
Commenting on the partnership, Thomas Schouten, CEO of Falcker, said: "This agreement represents a mutual commitment to success, built on trust, clarity, and shared goals. Together with Vopak, we will set a new benchmark in tank integrity management, helping ensure safety, compliance and sustainability for years to come."
This platform allows Vopak to further optimise its maintenance programme by providing long-term predictions on tank maintenance ensuring tank integrity based on digital database and fit-for-service analyses.
