Tank & Pipeline Abandonment

Miller Environmental Group, Inc. (MEG) has developed an environmentally friendly, legally compliant and passive alternative to traditional means of tank and pipeline closure. MEG is working with commercial and residential clients, utility companies, local fuel oil companies, and Insurance companies to reduce the risk of underground fuel oil tank or pipeline leakage. MEG is effectively closing underground fuel oil storage tanks and natural gas pipelines via our Foam Abandonment Service Team (FAST) program. Our procedure is as follows: Removal of any remaining fuel in the buried tank or pipeline, high pressure wash the tank or pipeline interior with a spinning nozzle, evacuate the oil water mixture and then utilizing the latest technology, pump a two-part urethane expansion foam into the tank or pipeline. After a few moments, the foam will completely fill the tank or pipeline and harden in place. The foam filled tank or pipeline is left in place, and a Certificate of Abandonment will be issued to you. This foaming in place (FIP) procedure causes the least disruption to the landscape and surrounding property while ensuring full compliance with environmental regulations. The cost for this service typically, is much more competitively priced than tank or pipeline removal.
