Large-Scale Aviation Fuel Tank Removal
Project Overview
A large aviation Fixed Base Operator (FBO) contracted Harper BUILD to remove outdated aviation and jet fuel tanks that had been in place since the 1960s. These steel tanks had been exposed to decades of use and environmental factors, with water infiltration posing additional challenges.
Challenges and Solutions
-
Tank Decommissioning
Given the age of the tanks, we conducted a thorough assessment to ensure safe removal without environmental hazards.
-
Water Contamination Mitigation
Our team collaborated with an environmental engineering contractor to manage water removal and contamination control effectively.
-
Heavy-Duty Removal
Due to their size and weight, the tanks required specialized equipment and expert handling to be safely extracted and disposed of.
-
Regulatory Coordination
Our project team ensured all removals adhered to local, state, and federal environmental guidelines.
Project Impact
-
Safe and successful removal of outdated aviation fuel tanks.
-
Environmental compliance and contamination mitigation.
-
Clearing the way for future upgrades and infrastructure improvements.
