Storage tanks and silos appear simple, but they carry real hazards: residual product, confined spaces, and the structural energy stored in large shells. Safe tank and silo demolition starts with cleaning and gas-freeing, then proceeds to controlled dismantling.
This guide explains the safe approach to tank and silo demolition and storage tank removal.
Tanks must be emptied, cleaned and gas-freed before any cutting begins. Residual flammable or hazardous product is one of the most serious risks in this work and is eliminated first.
Once safe, tanks and silos are dismantled mechanically and the steel or concrete is recycled. Large-diameter tanks may be cut and folded in sections for efficient removal.
Yes. We remove shop-built and large field-erected storage tanks, including cleaning, gas-freeing and recycling.
