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 activities include the exploration and localization of underground tanks. Using GPR ground-penetrating radar technology, we can determine the number, location, material, and approximate size of buried tanks. This reduces the need for full excavation of the given project area, thus saving time and resources for the client.
