TANK REMOVALS

TANK REMOVAL PROCEDURES
We will expose the top of the tank using the best suited machine for the job.

We will cut the top of the tank open to produce a hole approximately 2’ wide by 4’ long.

We will vacuum the tank of any free product as well as vacuum out sludge and residual oil. The interior of your tank will be pressure washed.

Upon removal of all sludge and washwater the tank will be removed from the ground and inspected for holes.


A soil sample will be collected from beneath the tank under Chain of Custody protocols and witnessed by local authorities. The soil sample will be sent to a state certified lab. If there is no presence of oil, the excavation will be backfilled and the area will be restored.

The old oil tank will be then loaded onto our trucks and hauled away to a licensed disposal facility.

We will issue a letter report summarizing the project and soil results.
