Radisson Hotel Emergency Generator Day Tank
This project was started in response to an emergency call for a leaking generator day tank. The day tank was the fuel source for the emergency generator that provided temporary lighting in case of a power outage. CommTank remediated the oil spill and provided a temporary tank on an emergency basis to allow the hotel to stay open.
The next step was to get approval from the Fire Department to replace the leaking day tank with a 500-gallon double wall aboveground storage tank. Once we got the okay to start we installed bollards and poured a new cement pad. Then the new tank was installed on the pad and piped to the generator. The old day tank was cleaned and filled with cement. Once completed the unit was tested, fired up, and ready for operation.
