Highlights

  • Tank demolition
  • Installation of new 72,000-BBL (3,024,000 gallons) tank

CMS is demolishing three existing 10,000-barrel (BBL or 420,000 gallons) aboveground fuel storage tanks and associated concrete containments, fuel piping, aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) piping, and civil and electrical utilities. We will also construct new facilities at the site, including a new 72,000-BBL (3,024,000 gallons) field-constructed aboveground fuel tank with automatic tank gauging, and associated concrete containment, fuel piping, and civil and electrical utilities. Soil improvements (cement deep soil mixing) prior to construction of the new containment and tank will be key at this location, due to the existing poor soil conditions.
