Underground Storage Tanks

Datanet Engineering’s underground storage tank work is performed under the direction of a Professional Engineer, accredited as Corrosion Specialist from the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE).

UST leakage due to failure to implement controls for overfill, spill, leak testing and corrosion can inflict staggering costs on the owner.

We have assisted in hand-on inspections of service stations to an abandoned field to determine the potential hazards on the sites along with the regulatory inspection. Datanet has professional who teach the courses on UST and AST compliance inspections. This allows us to know the latest on what is being changed regarding the regulations to staying in contact with all regulatory officers working for EPA. Our work has involved close cooperation with these regulators on the Eastern Seaboard. Services include the following:

Oil and Hazardous Waste Control Services

Spill Prevention Countermeasures and Control Plans
Facility Response Plans
Tank Upgrade Design
Tank Coatings / Liner Inspections - Design
Cathodic Protection Design

Mechanical Integrity Survey of Plant Equipment
Failure Investigation

Regulatory compliance may seem a bit overwhelming at first, but with assistance from a consultant, it can be managed.

Fuel Systems Investigation

Fuel system failures are best investigated from an environmental and corrosion perspective. These include:

Home Heating Oil Failures Delivery Overfills Tank Ruptures Fuel Spill in Residence	Basement heating oil tanks don't last forever and may release fuel into a residence.

Contamination Remediation Site Investigation Assistance with Regulators Remedial Design and Construction Management	Corrosion control of fuel tanks is the law. Thus, leakage due to corrosion should not be dismissed as unavoidable

Commercial Fuel System Failures Soil Contamination Groundwater Remediation	Aboveground tanks and their complex supporting systems may be installed incorrectly and can be the source of fuel loss. Fiberglass tanks may fail due to physical or chemical causes.
