Oil Tank Removal and Remediation Project Cork

Aisling Daly

Location

Cork

Date

July 2024

Overview

External oil tank leaked. Created fumes externally. Old tank had to be removed and remediation of garden area also required

”Enviroleak were quick and efficient all the way through the process. They made sure my garden is now somewhere I can enjoy again.”


Challenges

Oil remediation requirement was under existing tank in the garden, and we needed to keep heat running during the entire process

Access to the garden was restricted

The back garden was very wet due to high water table

Solutions

We set up a temporary tank in the garden, to keep heat running for the duration of the project

On completion, we reinstated tank to its original position

We used a common laneway at the rear of the house, which meant we didn’t have to go through the house and on completion, power-washed the whole area, ensuring no complaints from neighbours

Rather than put back clay and turf lawn we put down Terran, which is a drainage membrane, and finished the area in pebble, which allows the area to be walked on and not soggy underfoot
