Storage Tank Removal and Remediation
Storage tanks are a concern because they are potential source of pollution, contamination and liabilities. Under certain conditions, they may also pose a fire and explosion hazard and create obligations for owners. Universal Environmental Services (UES) staff has extensive experience to provide services related to the management of storage tanks that contain chemical products or fuels including heating oil, motor oil, bunker C, waste oil, gasoline and diesel. We have overseen the removal, in-place decommissioning, and remediation of many underground storage tanks (USTs) and managed replacing them with aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) to reduce risks and liabilities on industrial, commercial or residential properties. UES provides professional, efficient and cost effective assessment, recommendation, removal, and remediation, if required, to assist property owners and managers in their decision making process and reducing liabilities.
