Beth Israel Deaconess Underground Storage Tank Upgrade
This shows the original sump of the underground storage tank filled with water.
The original UST sump after it was pumped dry.
A new manway is set in place after the old one was removed.
The new manway with a sump cover installed to protect it from surface water.
The new supply and return connections are installed in the sump. Flexible fiberglass lines replace the old steel lines.
CommTank installed a new sump for the underground storage oil tank and disconnected existing leaking sump at the Beth Israel West Campus in Boston, MA.
The sump installation was started by breaking the cement pad and digging out the old sump. After disconnecting the old sump from the tank it was removed, and a new 42” total containment sump was installed. CommTank reconnected the fuel oil suction lines and the fuel oil return lines. We then installed new valves and tested the piping to a working pressure of 100 psig. The fuel lines passed the test and we backfilled the area around the sump with pea gravel. Once the backfill was compacted we restored the cement pad around the new sump.
