Before the introduction of gas heating, many defense buildings, public buildings, industrial buildings, or agricultural buildings were heated by burning fuel oil. The storage of fuel often took place in several m3 underground tanks, which in some cases were not followed by adequate technical foundation and insulation work. Environmental authorities often determine soil and groundwater contamination in the vicinity of these areas after sampling and laboratory tests. Remediation work begins with localizing the source of contamination. The removal and disposal of storage tanks are prioritized for environmental and safety reasons.
Our company’s services include the detection and localization of underground storage tanks. By combining Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and magnetic surveys, we can determine the number and location of buried tanks, identify their likely material, and estimate their approximate dimensions.
This approach significantly reduces the need for extensive excavation across the entire project area, helping our clients save both time and resources while enabling more targeted and efficient site investigations.
