Another member of the Tri cities, Port Coquitlam is known for its splendid scenery, and small town charm. Port Coquitlam definitely has its appeal, but there are a couple things that could definitely been seen as unappealing, from the unrelenting rain that is a common occurrence in the Lower Mainland, to the topic that has brought you to here… “Oil tanks”.
In Port Coquitlam, natural gas was introduced approximately in the late 1950’s throughout the 1960’s, ending an era of various alternative fuel sources, such as: wood, coal and residential underground storage tanks. While oil tanks were still being used and installed, the volume in which they were used dramatically decreased as natural gas rapidly became the desired choice of new homebuilders. As with all technology, when the newest convenience arrives, the oldest quickly becomes obsolete.
In the oil tank removal industry, there are many governing bodies and it is important to adhere to all requirements to ensure that the job is done safely, efficiently and effectively. It is important that all documentation is collected, compiled and supplied to the appropriate departments to confirm that when the job is complete there will be no further issues.
Important to know…
In Port Coquitlam, it is required that an environmental consultant collects, submits and provides a final environmental report for each project. This is a critical part of the process, as the main reason for removal of an oil tank is to determine if there has been any leakage and if the contamination levels exceed the Ministry of Environments allowable limits. The permit price for an oil tank removal in Port Coquitlam is $200. Also in Port Coquitlam, a fire warden must inspect each site and confirm that the oil tank has been removed, once extracted.
