Every property is unique and should be assessed on an individual bases, since there are so many factors that contribute to the presence and spread of contamination:
- When did the tank start to leak?
- How much oil was in the tank?
- Is the yard slopped?
- Does your property have a high water table?
- What types of native tills surround your tank?
Keeping in mind all of the above variables, we find that on average most properties clean up within 1-4 bins, which equates to approximately 10 – 40 tonnes. Some properties may clean up in less than a bin, and in some extreme cases the total may go over 5 bins. Throughout the process our clients have control of how many bins go out each day and are kept fully updated throughout the process so that the project does not get out of control.
