What is the typical inspection interval for storage tank foundation settlement?

I would like to ask what is the typical interval for detecting the settlement of storage tank foundations? Once a year? Are there any clear regulatory requirements? I hope the seniors can provide answers!
SYT 5921-2011 Procedures for Operation, Maintenance, and Repair of Vertical Cylindrical Welded Steel Oil Tanks – Inspections to be carried out annually
Hello, has your question been resolved? I encountered the same problem as you; I’m looking for a standard or specification regarding the monitoring cycle for tank settlement
Hello, I checked and found that only it is stated that inspections of the oil tank foundations are required annually for version 5.8.1, but no mention is made of settlement monitoring in the subsequent text. Could you please let me know if settlement monitoring is not included in the foundation inspections?
Based on the above criteria, 4.4.2
For new tanks, an inspection is required once a year for the first three years, and thereafter it depends on the specific circumstances. No deadline is specified.
