API-650 Tank-Settlement check / Hydrotest with scaffolding?
(OP)
Hi all,
In my site, we have a SS Tank (12M dia & 30M h)which is now need to do a settlement check/hydrotest/waterfilling test. But now its full of scaffolding inside and outside and the main contractor is ready to do with scaffold on. In my experience for bigger tank mostly never use scaffold, we use buggy. So i'm not aware that it is possible or not. I had checked in API 650 but can't able to find any probs. just want to confirm.. is it a best practice in a live plant. I'm a Client inspector, so need to give confirmation. Kindly advice.

I have always liked that "just after the hurricane" look of floating scaffolding when I do a hydrotest.
Its also always the perfect time to bring the Owner to the jobsite for a tour of how things are going...
