Nationwide Professional Tank Removal
America’s Trusted Fuel Tank Removal Service
Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for on-site storage tanks, such as fuel tanks and residential heating oil tanks, to leak and pose health and environmental threats to the surrounding areas. Damaged or deteriorating tanks – especially tanks that have been abandoned – can contaminate the surrounding soil and our water supply, as well as significantly impact a property’s resale value. The best course of action is to remove the old or damaged tank.
EnviroServe provides professional fuel tank removal services for commercial and residential properties all across the nation. We have the knowledge, equipment, and experience to remove aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) and underground storage tanks (USTs) with the highest level of skill and precision. Our environmental remediation experts are all expertly trained, licensed, and insured to remove your old or damaged tank safely, effectively, and within federal, state, and local regulations.
Our Tank Removal Process
The metal of a storage tank is naturally susceptible to deterioration over time, which can cause the tank’s contents to leak into the surrounding environment. For large, commercial underground storage tanks, contamination can commonly migrate off-site, often demanding a permanent, long-term remediation system to maintain control and isolation of the contamination. In many cases, the storage tank should be cleared from the site.
Tank Cleaning and Inspection
Our tank removal process starts with an initial site assessment to evaluate the storage tank’s size, construction type, and age. Once the removal proposal is approved, we’ll send a vac-truck equipped with an industrial vacuum pump to effectively extract the tank’s residual contents, clean the tank, and safely transport the extracted material off-site for proper disposal.
Industrial Tank Disposal
If the storage tank is located underground EnviroServe has the skills and experience to safely excavate the tank and remove all associated equipment from the property. We’ll then perform any remediation steps if necessary, which can include excavating, transporting, and properly disposing of contaminated soil and contaminated groundwater.
Permitting, Safety, and Industry Regulations
Handling aboveground and underground storage tank removal isn’t your everyday task – this is precision work that demands expertise, certifications, and a deep understanding of regulatory frameworks. Whether it’s a commercial tank decommission or underground petroleum tank remediation, compliance with safety standards and environmental laws is non-negotiable. Our tank decommissioning contractors at CGE are equipped with advanced tools and regulatory knowledge to meet the highest industry standards. The process involves stringent permitting requirements, adherence to safety protocols, and careful alignment with EPA guidelines, ensuring every project is executed responsibly. To comply with regulatory expectations, tank decommissioning projects must follow these essential standards:
- Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) – This federal law governs the disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes through strict guidelines to protect human health and the environment.
- Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Rule – This regulation mandates facilities to implement measures to prevent oil spills and ensure proper containment strategies are in place.
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standards – These rules require protective measures for workers during hazardous operations, covering confined space entry, fire prevention, and proper equipment use.
- State and Local Permitting Processes – Every municipality enforces specific permitting rules to manage the handling of hazardous materials, soil excavation, and site decommissioning procedures.
