WHY UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK LOCATING MATTERS
Buried storage tanks are often undocumented, abandoned, or inaccurately recorded. These tanks can pose serious environmental, financial, and regulatory risks, particularly during property development, renovation, or site transfer.
​
Locating underground storage tanks before work begins helps project teams:
-
Identify buried tanks and associated infrastructure
-
Reduce environmental and regulatory risk
-
Avoid costly excavation delays and remediation
-
Support due diligence during property transactions
-
Improve site safety and planning accuracy
WHEN UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK LOCATING IS REQUIRED
Tank locating is commonly performed before:
-
Site development or redevelopment
-
Property sale or acquisition
-
Environmental assessments
-
Excavation or grading
-
Infrastructure upgrades or renovations
Early identification of underground storage tanks allows property owners, developers, and contractors to plan responsibly and avoid unexpected environmental or regulatory issues later in the project.
