When this service is useful
- Uncertain or conflicting tank records
- Property transactions and redevelopment
- Suspected historic fuel or oil installations
- Decommissioning, excavation or removal planning
What we can examine
- Authority, property and historical records for tank type, age, volume and status
- Likely location screening using site features and available detection methods
- Matching of position, orientation, fill points, vents and visible connections with records
- Accessible internal or external condition and signs of leakage or corrosion
- Need for sampling, safe decommissioning, excavation or removal
How the assignment develops
Screen the property
Visible features and suitable location methods are used to test the documentary picture.
Align and inspect
Observed position and connections are matched to the record and condition is reviewed where accessible.
Plan the next step
Further sampling, decommissioning or removal is recommended only where justified.
From records to the right fieldwork
We begin by resolving what the records and visible installation can establish. If location, condition or possible leakage remains uncertain, we help define the appropriate detection, investigation or specialist tank work needed for the next decision.
