Commercial Storage Tank Removal - AST / UST
Commercial Services
Tim Evans Inc. offers full scale UST closure services for both commercial and industrial clients.
Our Services Include:
Removal and in-place closure of UST/AST systems.
Full-scale demolition of petroleum operation systems including:
- Removal of product lines and dispensers
- Removal of canopies and dispenser islands
Typical Project Summary:
- Perform an initial inspection of the tank to determine the most cost-effect method of closure (removal vs in-place closure).
- Obtain a permit with the local Building Department or Fire Marshall, and schedule the required inspection of the tank closure.
- Prior to initiating the work, we contact the Miss Utility of Virginia/VA 811 utility locating service to located underground utilities (power, communications, gas, etc.) in the area of the tank.
- Using a vacuum truck, all residual liquids and sludge are evacuated from the tank. The tank is then cleaned using the vacuum truck and high-pressure water.
- Depending on the method of closure, the tank is then either removed from the ground and transported offsite for disposal, or completely filled in-place with an inert solid material.
- If the tank is removed, the tank basin is then backfilled with gravel and/or topsoil to grade, and the ground surface restored to match the surrounding area.
We take all necessary precautions to minimize the disturbance to the site during the removal process by deploying plywood and poly sheeting. We pride ourselves on maintaining the quality of your site!
