Building In Safety Deep South-Tex Terminals are well-maintained facilities that have been designed, built, and located to minimize public impact. Terminal facilities are secured and fenced, with lighting designed to provide security yet minimal disturbance to neighbors. And, as part of an interstate transportation system, these terminals and the facilities located on them are regulated for Pipeline Safety.
Pipeline safety inspectors monitor compliance with these rules. Deep South-Tex Terminals support the efforts of safely and reliably delivering petroleum products to refineries tankers vessels and our other clients to make into products we all rely on every day. All Deep South-Tex Terminals above-ground storage tanks are constructed using quality steel plate engineered to exacting federal codes and national standards for the size, environment and product to be stored.
Among other integrity testing, new tanks are filled with water and monitored for potential leaks during hydrostatic testing prior to being placed into service. In addition, cathodic protection provides corrosion control as normal operations are engaged. Tanks are also grounded to minimize static electricity build up during filling and refilling, and to redirect lightning strikes, should any occur. All of our facilities are routinely monitored, inspected and maintained. Trained terminal personnel complete a visual inspection of every tank at least monthly. Additional annual inspections are also performed.
