Storage Tank Search Locator

The Safety Codes Council is committed to sharing safety codes system data to support evidence-based decisions, innovation, and improved public safety outcomes. As part of this commitment, we are sharing a new, self-serve storage tank search locator through our new Safety Codes System Data Hub.

This free, publicly available self-serve tool provides fast and reliable access to confirm storage tanks locations within areas of the province served by the Alberta Safety Codes Authority (ASCA). This ensures customers have access to the transparent and reliable data necessary to support a safer, more prosperous Alberta.

Disclaimer: The published data is a collection of information reported through registration and permitting as well as a survey of abandoned sites completed in 1992. It should NOT be considered a comprehensive inventory of all past or present storage tank sites. ASCA’s storage tank systems database is solely maintained based on information provided by owners, and/or operators of storage tank systems; therefore, the database may not reflect information related to all existing or former storage tank systems in ASCA areas.
