B620 and IBC Testing Scope
Hip Solutions helps fleets, fuel suppliers, and industrial operators keep transport assets compliant with Transport Canada and CAN/CGSB requirements through scheduled inspections, testing, and repair coordination.
CSA B620 Tank Inspections
What we do: Periodic inspection and certification support for highway tanks, portable tanks, propane vessels, crude oil trailers, and other dangerous goods transport units.
Includes: Visual inspections, leak testing, pressure testing, and ultrasonic thickness verification based on the applicable tank specification.
IBC Inspection and Testing
What we do: Registered inspection services for IBC totes used to transport dangerous goods, including external condition checks and pressure leakproofness testing.
Includes: 30-month and 5-year inspection intervals, valve and closure checks, frame condition review, and documentation for compliance records.
Leak and Pressure Testing
What we do: Controlled testing procedures to confirm the integrity of piping, valves, emergency shutoffs, gaskets, and tank structure before assets return to service.
Applications: Annual leakage verification, scheduled pressure testing, and condition assessment for regulated transport equipment.
Repair and Return to Service
What we do: When defects are found, we support repair planning and fabrication work needed to restore tanks and IBC units to safe operating condition.
Applications: Valve replacement, frame and weld repairs, remediation of failed components, and reinspection after corrective work.
Compliance and Inspection Intervals
- Annual external inspections: Visual review of shell condition, frame integrity, piping, closures, and visible corrosion or damage.
- Scheduled internal and pressure testing: Five-year or specification-driven inspections to confirm structural condition and safe operating performance.
- IBC inspection cycles: Registered facilities must complete 30-month and 5-year inspections for dangerous goods IBC units.
- Documented reporting: Clear records help support audits, fleet maintenance planning, and proof of compliance for regulated transport operations.
Our Testing Process
We keep the process straightforward so operators can schedule inspections, address deficiencies, and return equipment to service with minimal disruption.
1. Review Asset Type
We confirm the tank or IBC specification, service history, and required inspection interval before work begins.
2. Perform Required Tests
Our team completes the applicable visual, leak, pressure, and thickness checks using documented procedures.
3. Report and Repair
We document findings, identify deficiencies, and support repair or reinspection requirements needed for compliance.
