Thinking about the Future: Oil Tank Removal in New Westminster, Surrey and Burnaby

As specialists in oil tank removal in British Columbia, our work takes us to places like Burnaby, Surrey and New Westminster. The removal of derelict and contaminated oil tanks keeps us busy. Like any highly regulated industry, it keeps a company on its toes. We work with all the local regulatory bodies, making sure everything is above board and in accordance with environmental best practice.

Hazards beneath Our Feet

Most people don’t give any thought to these common eco-hazards. Out of sight, out of mind, as the saying goes! Just think of the thousand (or more) tanks thought still to be buried in West and North Vancouver, the unfortunate remnant of redundant heating systems. Forgotten, ignored or undetected, they pose threats to the environment and also to the resale values of properties. The onus is on regulatory bodies such as fire departments and professional removal experts to put oil tank removal in New Westminster (or Burnaby or Surrey) at the top of their agenda.

Duty to the Future

It’s no longer effective (or even possible) to draw distinctions between environmental and economic priorities. Increasingly and inevitably, what is good for the environment is good for your pocket. Avoiding a fine and removing an eco-hazard are part and parcel of the same process. The commitment to securing a cleaner future for our children will save them some of the economic costs of our bad habits. Oil tank removal in New Westminster, Surrey or Burnaby is a licensed field. If you think there’s a buried tank on your property, call the experts.
