CGRS performs testing for all types of storage tank and line systems. Services performed by our Compliance Department include:
- Tank and Line Tightness Testing: Including volumetric and non-volumetric testing of underground storage tanks (USTs), aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), and product piping.
- Electronic/Mechanical Leak Detector Testing: To ensure the equipment is functioning properly and to meet the testing requirement for automatic line leak detectors, CGRS performs calibrated leak simulations to verify positive shut down or flow restriction.
- Cathodic Protection (CP) System Testing: Our NACE certified Corrosion Testers test and inspect both impressed current and galvanic systems to ensure they are providing adequate corrosion protection to all metal portions of the fueling system which come in contact with the ground and which routinely contain product.
- Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) Calibration and Maintenance: To provide the required ATG servicing and operational verification as specified by the manufacturer.
- ATG Remote Monitoring, Troubleshooting and Reporting: Including the initialization of remote monitoring at our clients’ headquarters or ours, troubleshooting alarms, and/or providing monthly remote fuel system compliance reporting and monitoring for most major brands of ATGs.
