Boilers, Chillers, Fuel Oil Tanks, HVAC RTUs & Commercial Refrigeration. Turnkey Permitting & EPA 608 Freon Recovery.
Certified Confined Space Degassing, Heavy Sludge Removal, Inert Slurry/Foam Injection & Official Environmental Registry Filings.
When underground or vault-enclosed fuel storage tanks cannot be physically excavated due to adjacent foundations, structural footings, or active utility corridors, in-place decommissioning is the engineered solution. United Decommission executes certified tank abandonment: accessing the vessel, pumping out all fuel and sludge, hydro-cleaning interior walls, testing for clean atmosphere, and pressure-filling the tank with inert concrete slurry or structural polyurethane foam per local fire code.

Everything you need to know about our 24/7 priority emergency dispatch, EPA Section 608 compliance, and permit management.
Yes, in-place abandonment is permitted under municipal and state fire codes when proper procedures are followed—including complete sludge extraction, interior degreasing, filling with an approved inert material (slurry or foam), and filing official closeout certificates.
Decommissioning in-place is preferred when an oil tank sits directly adjacent to building load-bearing walls, under finished concrete slabs, or near buried high-voltage utilities where excavation would pose structural hazards.
