Town of Southborough Underground Tank Removal and Aboveground Tank Install
CommTank removed two existing 12,000-gallon underground storage tanks (USTs) at the Southborough Public Works Garage and replaced them with two 6,000-gallon aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) manufactured by Stanwade Metal Products, Inc. The tanks are being used to provide gasoline and diesel fuel to the trucks and machines operated by the DPW.
As part of this project, CommTank provided temporary fuel storage tanks, two new 6,000-gallon double wall Fireguard ASTs, new Wayne Select Series fuel dispensers, Veeder-Root TLS 300C automatic tank gauge, and Wayne Ix Fleet™ Fuel Control System. The work included all material, equipment, labor, and testing to provide complete working systems.
