Stormwater Detention Tank Inspections

Stormwater Tank Inspections

Stormwater tank inspections are essential for maintaining system performance, regulatory compliance, and long-term asset protection. In commercial and industrial facilities, stormwater tanks play a critical role in managing runoff, preventing flooding, and protecting surrounding infrastructure.

At Tank Inspections Melbourne by Raven Tanks Australia, we provide professional stormwater tank inspection services across Melbourne and Victoria. Our inspections deliver clear insight into tank condition, structural integrity, and compliance with local council and environmental requirements. 

What are Stormwater Tank Inspections?

Stormwater tank inspections involve a structured assessment of underground or above-ground stormwater storage systems. These inspections identify defects, deterioration, or capacity issues that may affect performance or compliance.

Unlike routine maintenance activities, inspections focus on condition and risk. They provide documented findings that support asset management, compliance reporting, and future maintenance planning.

Stormwater tank inspections are commonly required for commercial buildings, industrial sites, infrastructure assets, and developments subject to council or EPA oversight. 

Why Stormwater Tank Inspections are Important

Over time, stormwater tanks are exposed to sediment accumulation, fluctuating water levels, and structural stress. Without regular inspection, hidden issues can develop and remain undetected until failure occurs.

Professional inspections help asset owners:  

Early identification reduces the likelihood of costly repairs or unplanned system failures. 

Scope of Our Stormwater Tank Inspection Services

Our stormwater tank inspections follow a clear and methodical process. Each inspection is adapted to tank type, access conditions, and site requirements. 

Structural & Condition Assessment

We assess the overall condition of the stormwater tank structure, including walls, floors, lids, access points, and internal surfaces. This helps identify cracking, deformation, corrosion, or material degradation that may affect performance or safety. 

Integrity & Leak Detection

Stormwater tanks must remain structurally sound and watertight to function effectively. Inspections check for signs of leakage, joint failure, or compromised tank integrity that could impact surrounding ground conditions or infrastructure. 

Sediment & Capacity Assessment 

Sediment build-up can significantly reduce effective storage capacity. During inspections, we assess sediment levels and internal obstructions that may limit stormwater retention or detention performance.

Compliance & Regulatory Support

Stormwater systems are often subject to local council, EPA, or development approval conditions. Inspections support compliance by providing documented evidence of system condition and performance.

Our inspection reports are suitable for:

Clear documentation helps demonstrate due diligence and supports informed decision-making.
