Tank Removal

NEXT is very experienced at Underground Storage Tank (`UST`) removal from residential, commercial, and industrial properties, including from locations which are difficult to access, such as underneath buildings. Leaking or unused USTs are removed to remediate contamination or reduce the potential environmental liability they represent were they to leak fluids in the future. Removal is also recommended to comply with the BC Fire Code, which requires removal of USTs which have been out of service for 2 years. Safe tank removal includes evacuating its contents and removing associated piping, collecting samples of soil, groundwater, and vapour to evaluate the presence or absence of contamination, remediating contamination and providing a clear report to Ministry of Environment standards to confirm removal.
