Underground Storage Tank Pull - Bakersfield, CA

Two clips from an underground storage tank removal in Bakersfield, California: the lift out of the excavation, then loading out for transport. Tank removal is part of our environmental and remediation services.

Lifting the tank clear of the excavationThe crew rigs the tank on nylon slings and the crane lifts it out of the open excavation. Shoring stands, timber cribbing, a taped exclusion zone and a spotter on the ground.
Loading out for transportThe same tank, stencilled DOUBLE WALL on the head, is swung across and lowered onto a flatbed for haul-off. Cones and caution tape hold the drop zone while the tank is set down.
