What are the reasons for determining the location of an oil tank?

Knowing the location of an oil tank is important for a number of reasons:

Safety: If an oil tank is leaking, it can pose a serious safety hazard to the environment and nearby residents. Knowing the location of the tank can help prevent leaks and spills, and ensure that any leaks or spills that do occur are quickly contained and cleaned up.

Environmental protection: Oil leaks and spills can cause significant environmental damage, including contamination of soil and water. Knowing the location of the tank can help prevent these types of incidents, or minimize their impact if they do occur.

Property value: Knowing the location of an oil tank can affect the value of a property, especially if the tank is found to be leaking or otherwise in poor condition. This information can be important for buyers and sellers of properties that may have underground oil tanks.

Compliance with regulations: Many local and state governments have regulations regarding the installation, maintenance, and removal of underground oil tanks. Knowing the location of a tank is necessary to comply with these regulations and avoid potential fines.

Cost savings: Knowing the location of an oil tank can help avoid costly mistakes, such as accidentally digging through or damaging the tank during construction or landscaping projects.

What is the process for identifying the location of an oil tank?

Underground oil tank location can be done by using a variety of underground surveying methods. The most common methods include:

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR): GPR uses radar waves to penetrate the ground and create a detailed image of the subsurface. This method can be used to locate underground oil tanks by detecting changes in soil density caused by the tank.

Electromagnetic locators: Electromagnetic locators use electromagnetic waves to locate metallic objects, such as underground oil tanks, by detecting changes in the electromagnetic field caused by the metal.
