Massport Fueling System Removal
The aboveground Jet-A fuel storage tanks were located outside this hanger.
CommTank crews are preparing to disassemble the fuel storage tank system. Lines have to be bled before piping can be removed.
The fuel filtration and fuel pump system are disconnected from the storage tanks.
A crane lifts the fuel storage tank on to the tractor trailer.
The aboveground tank is loaded on the flat bed and ready to be moved off site.
CommTank's truck leading the two tractor trailers from the airport.
CommTank was awarded a bid to remove and dispose of two 10,000-gallon aboveground storage tanks and the components of the aircraft fuel system for Hanscom Hangar 10.
This project included the tank removal of two 10,000-gallon storage tanks used to store Jet A fuel. The fuel filters, fuel lines, and pumps were also removed and taken to a certified recycling facility. A crane and two flat bed trailers were used to remove the fuel tanks from the cement pad where they had been installed. A cement wall and fencing were also taken down as part of the fuel system removal.
