Tank Removal:

Improperly maintained storage tanks or tanks which are greater than 20 years old represent a potential for the release of petroleum hydrocarbons (fuel oil, waste oil, lubricating oils, gasoline) into the environment, which can lead to extensive environmental cleanups.

At BENNETT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSOCIATES, INC. (BEA), we have considerable experience with the inspection and removal of aboveground and underground storage tanks. The vessels we service range from single tanks used to store fuel oil for a residential property to multiple vessels that may be associated with large industrial or commercial facilities and bulk distribution centers.  Our tank services further include cleanup activities or replacement facility design. 

BEA has been proactive in the development and implementation of non-commercial tank regulations and providing compliance documentation for commercial fuel storage wherein the inspection and/or removal and replacement of fuel storage tanks does advert or minimize releases to the environment. BEA was recently certified by the Department of Fire Services, Office of the State Fire Marshal as a Third Party Inspector. 

BENNETT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSOCIATES, INC. has effectively adverted problems encountered by many commercial and residential tank owners through focused investigation, proper removal, in-place abandonment or replacement facility design.

"We found heating oil going 30-35 feet underground at our house in Chatham, and the cleanup required excavation under a corner of the house and bacterial remediation at the lower levels. The company managed the entire process, including testing planning and supervising the cleanup, and working with the insurance adjuster and the Massachusetts DEP.

Throughout the process we felt we were in the hands of exactly the right professionals. They couldn't make the process entirely painless, but they came as close as we could expect.

We were unhappy to have to deal with the oil, but we were very happy with the service we got from Dave Bennett, Todd Everson and their colleagues."
