DETAILS:

During integrity testing of four large double walled UST’s varying in size from 5,000 to 25,000 gallons, the owner discovered the tank-to-soil potential returned at less than -0.8 volts as determined by readings referenced to a copper-copper sulphate cell.  All the tanks had readings indicative of an advanced rate of corrosion.  The tanks were reported to be less than 15 years old, therefore ANCO proposed the installation of two to four magnesium anodes for each tank.  ANCO saw cut surfacial concrete and excavated to the top of each end of each tank.  Anodes were placed, then grounded to strategic connection points.  Test leads were extended to the surface to enable simple annual cathodic system retesting.  ANCO verified voltages were now in the correct range, then arranged a re-test of the tanks.  All the tanks passed.

DETAILS:

ANCO had replaced the three original tanks, found to be leaking, in 1990, however following a NJDEP inspection, the leak detection system and the spill containment manholes needed to be replaced in 2008.  ANCO’s scope of work included closing out the 1991 spill case, which involved impacted soil and groundwater.  Updated data review revealed no continuation of exceedences observed in 1991.  ANCO handled all aspects of this drawn-out project including tank farm design and construction, contaminated soil digout, excavation dewatering, installation of four monitor wells, groundwater sampling and NJDEP reporting.  Electro-mechanical work included plumbing tank manifolds to fuel purification and pumping systems, installation of interstitial leak detection and overfill sensing system for the tanks.  ANCO also installed a cathodic protection system for the tanks and piping.

PROJECT VALUE:

$184,000

DETAILS:

Removed several sizable leaking USTs from mountain top microwave transceiver facilities in Green Pond (Rockaway Township) and Vernon Township, Sussex County, NJ.  ANCO stockpiled the contaminated soil then returned shortly later for loading and disposal.  ANCO supplied temporary fuel storage tanks during the course of the job.  The projects involved the installation of double walled AST systems with capacity from 1,000 to 4,000 gallons.  ANCO installed piping banks, connections made through leak and fire detection solenoid valves. Finishing work included asphalt, bollards, guardrails and overfill instrumentation.

DETAILS:

Design and upgrade three 10,000 gallon fiberglass tank system and replace the waste oil tank with a double wall system. Design work included subsurface groundwater evaluation and permeability study. Saved client thousands by proving receptor monitoring was not feasible. In-tank continuous statistical monitoring was approved and tied into Veeder Root TLS 350 inventory/monitor system. All electric work and system calibration was included in ANCO’s installation. Final report included full environmental site assessment on waste oil tank replacement

DETAILS:

ANCO specified and performed all phases of this leaking UST replacement project, including temporary fuel storage and soil and groundwater remediation.  Horizontal and vertical extent of free product investigation revealed oil accumulation beneath footings and numerous entry points into the sub-basement through foundation cracks. ANCO designed a system to reverse the hydraulic pressure on the structure then installed a free product recovery system. NJDEP compliance documentation led to a No Further Action determination 24 months later.
