Buried Tank Detection & Assessment in British Columbia

Professional Buried Tank Detection & Assessment

Buried tank detection uses GPR to locate and assess underground storage tanks — water tanks, cisterns, fuel tanks, septic systems, and vaults. GPR images the tank envelope, identifies soil saturation around potential leaks, detects structural deformation, and maps the tank's exact location and dimensions. This service is essential for property purchases where buried tanks may exist, for environmental assessments of fuel tanks, and for leak investigations involving buried water storage. We coordinate with environmental consultants for fuel tank assessments to ensure regulatory compliance.
