Underground Storage Tanks (UST) and Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) Permitting, Installation and Removal

AEI has the ability to remove and install USTs and ASTs that are commonly used to store petroleum and are regulated nationwide to prevent the release of toxic materials.AEI works to obtain all permits, review project requirements, work with appropriate regulatory agencies, perform all field work to successfully remove USTs, secure soil and groundwater samples for laboratory analysis and prepare a final report that documents our methods and findings.

UST Permitting
All regulated USTs owners are required to have permits for all installations of USTs or leak detection systems, renovations and operations. UST owners will be subjected to penalties if they do not acquire all proper permits. AEI assists clients in obtaining these necessary permits.

UST Installation:
Improper installations that compromise the integrity or the proper functioning of USTs can lead to future problems. AEI has the ability to install USTs and ASTs while meeting leak detection, spill, and overfill and corrosion protection standards.

UST Removal
If contamination is discovered AEI can assist in applying for reimbursement of cleanup costs. With the experience from removing and replacing of over 1,200 USTs within California, AEI has the expertise to remove or close underground storage tanks cost effectively.

In-Situ Closure
In the event that a direct tank removal is not a practical solution, AEI will perform an in situ-closure which involves a triple rinsing of the tank and then filling it with inert cement slurry. This usually occurs in cases where the UST is under the foundation of a building or installed in close proximity to a structure or highway. In these situations AEI performs an in situ-closure upon approval of the local agencies involved.
