Commercial Oil Spill Cleanup: Protecting Your Property and the Environment

Petroleum spills at commercial and industrial properties can present significant environmental concerns and often require much more than simply cleaning up the visible spill. Managing underground or aboveground petroleum storage—including diesel, heating oil, and gasoline—may involve the removal of steel or fiberglass tanks as well as environmental remediation when contamination is discovered. Every property and situation is different, which is why commercial oil spill cleanup is never a one-size-fits-all process. While a residential tank removal may typically be completed in about a day, commercial and industrial projects can range from a single day to several weeks or even months depending on the size, scope, and conditions encountered at the site.

Petroleum-contaminated properties can pose risks to both human health and the surrounding environment. As gasoline, diesel, or heating oil migrates through soil and groundwater, contamination can potentially reach nearby ground or surface waters, where it may impact plants and animals or contaminate drinking-water sources. Petroleum contaminants can also volatilize and potentially affect indoor air in buildings located above impacted areas. Tri-State Environmental Services works to properly identify and remediate these conditions while helping prevent contaminants from continuing to migrate into the surrounding environment.

From the beginning of a project through completion, Tri-State Environmental Services provides a comprehensive approach to commercial petroleum remediation. This includes estimating and defining the appropriate scope of work, field screening with precisely calibrated instruments, collecting soil and groundwater samples, performing remediation, and providing comprehensive closure documentation. Every step is approached with a commitment to completing the work efficiently, cost-effectively, and with the highest level of integrity.

If your commercial or industrial property is dealing with an oil spill, petroleum contamination, or an underground or aboveground storage tank issue, contact Tri-State Environmental Services to discuss your project and the appropriate next steps.
