Underground storage tanks (USTs) have been a common feature in many properties across Nairobi and Kenya for decades, used primarily for storing fuel, water, and other liquids. However, aging tanks pose significant environmental and safety risks that property owners cannot afford to ignore. At Bestcare Facilities Management, we specialize in professional underground storage tank removal services that protect your property, ensure regulatory compliance, and safeguard the environment.
The Hidden Dangers of Old Underground Tanks
Many property owners are unaware that their underground storage tanks are silently deteriorating beneath the surface. Steel tanks typically have a lifespan of 15-20 years, after which corrosion and structural degradation become inevitable. Leaking fuel tanks can contaminate groundwater, poison soil, and create serious fire hazards. In Nairobi’s densely populated areas, a single leaking tank can affect entire neighborhoods and result in costly environmental cleanup operations.
Beyond environmental concerns, abandoned or deteriorating underground tanks can significantly reduce property values and create legal liabilities. The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has strict regulations governing underground storage tanks, and non-compliance can result in hefty fines and legal action. Whether you’re a homeowner, business operator, or property developer, addressing problematic underground tanks is not just responsible—it’s essential.
Our Comprehensive Removal Process
Bestcare Facilities Management brings years of expertise to every underground storage tank removal project. Our process begins with a thorough site assessment using advanced detection equipment to locate tanks and assess their condition. We evaluate potential soil and groundwater contamination to determine the full scope of work required.
Once assessment is complete, our certified technicians develop a customized removal plan. We handle all necessary permits and ensure full compliance with NEMA regulations and county requirements. Our team uses specialized equipment to safely excavate tanks, minimizing disruption to your property and surrounding areas.
During removal, we carefully pump out any remaining contents and properly dispose of them according to environmental regulations. The tank itself is cut, removed, and transported to approved recycling or disposal facilities. If soil contamination is detected, we provide comprehensive remediation services to restore your property to safe, usable condition.
