The deconstruction of a 55,000 gallon decommissioned tank in Nulato.

Due to the close proximity to structures, the project was conducted with utmost safety. The tank was cleaned, cut-up and staged for removal from the site. During deconstruction, sheet metal pieces were retained at the request of the local school shop class for a repurposing project.

Sometimes oil spills are not easy to detect and even a small drip can turn into a big problem over time.

Case in point: over an unknown amount of time, a slow drip caused an unidentified amount of fuel to be dispersed from a fuel tank located next to a structure. Because of the proximity next to a building, the ground saturation was able to follow along the foundation and penetrate deep into the ground, causing additional hazard.

The contaminated soil was removed, replaced with clean soil and remediated according to ADEC regulation. The site will be monitored according to ADEC guidelines until deemed closed.
