What To Know About Oil Tank Removal
Oil tank removal from your property involves several steps to ensure it is done safely and effectively. Our process may include some or all of the following steps:
Assessment
Before removal, an assessment of the tank and its surroundings is conducted to determine the access points for removal equipment, the best location to stack overburden soil, confirm location of utilities and if they will be impacted by the tank removal.
Permitting
Depending on your location and local regulations, you may need permits or approvals for the removal of an oil tank. We will obtain any necessary permits before starting the removal process.
Draining and Cleaning
The tank is emptied of any remaining oil/water and thoroughly cleaned to remove sludge and residue. This step is crucial for safety and to minimize environmental impact during removal, with photos of the clean tank taken
Excavation
If the tank is underground, excavation equipment is used to carefully dig around the tank, exposing it for removal. This process may involve removing any obstacles or structures covering the tank.
Removal
Once exposed, the tank is lifted out of the ground using specialized equipment. It’s essential to handle the tank carefully to prevent spills or leaks during removal.
Disposal
After removal, the tank is transported to a recycling facility for proper disposal. Any fluids removed from the tank are sent to a remediation facility and the tank nest (excavation) is sampled by a third party consultant for presence of hydrocarbons.
Documentation
Finally, documentation of the removal process, including permits, lab reports, and disposal records, will be provided for your records and future reference. Additionally they will be sent to the City to complete the process.
It’s crucial to hire experienced professionals for oil tank removal to ensure it’s done safely, legally, and in compliance with environmental regulations. Additionally, proper documentation of the removal process can help protect you from potential liabilities in the future.
