Underground Storage Tank Removal & Site Closure
Underground Storage Tank Removal & Site Closure
Removing an underground fuel storage tank takes careful planning around the tank, surrounding equipment, site conditions, and applicable closure requirements.
At Eaton Sales & Service, our construction teams approach tank removal with safety and regulatory requirements in mind and hold state certifications and licenses where required.
Planning a UST Removal or Site Closure?
An underground storage tank removal project can be part of a larger site upgrade, redevelopment, or fuel system replacement. Whether a tank has reached the end of its useful life or an existing fueling system is being replaced, our team can help coordinate the removal and closure work.
Our teams are certified and licensed to complete fuel storage tank installations, tank removals, and site closures. Work with a team that understands both how to take an existing storage system out of service and what may come next for the site.
What Goes Into UST Removal and Site Closure
Tank removal often happens alongside other construction or fueling-system work. A site may need old tanks removed before new storage is installed, or an existing fueling facility may be undergoing a larger remodel.
Depending on the site, removal work may also involve excavation, concrete removal, piping, dispensers, electrical connections, testing, and other surrounding equipment. We can also help coordinate those pieces so that the removal fits into the property’s larger plan.
Removing and Closing Underground Fuel Tanks
Tank decommissioning and site closure require more than removing a tank from the ground. Our construction teams bring experience working around fuel storage systems, petroleum equipment, excavation, piping, and other components involved in a closure project.
Because our crews also work on new installations, they understand how fuel storage systems are put together and how the tank connects to the surrounding equipment.
If the site continues to operate as a fueling facility, our petroleum equipment sales team can also help with replacement equipment needed for the project.
A Long History in Storage Tank Removal & Site Closure
For more than a century, we’ve supported petroleum operations through fuel storage, construction, equipment, and service. That experience helps inform our approach to tank removal, whether you are removing an aging fuel storage tank, closing a site, or preparing.
