One recent dismantling project in New Jersey required mechanical,
electrical, and structural dismantling of several tank farms. Erected in
the early 80s, the farms mainly consisted of elevated stainless steel
tanks ranging from 500 to 10,000 gallons covered by a steel-framed
Butler-style roof system. Most of the piping was stainless steel, with
some plastic piping, and there were several sets of pumps for product
transfer between tanks and delivery trucks. Connection points to the
tanks, pumps, and other accessories were either stainless steel weld or
tri-clover clamp. There was an extensive grounding system for all
tanks, pumps, and piping, along with several grounding bars for static
connection of drums. All of the lighting and power for pumps and outlets
for portable pumps were explosion-proof due to a hazardous environment
Class I, Division 1, groups C and D classification.
Dismantlement of the tank farm entailed unbolting and cutting of all piping, pumps, tanks, and electrical systems after they were cleaned and identified as safe for lockout tag out. Salvageable pumps and fittings carefully removed for reuse at another facility. After all of the mechanical electrical and structural parts and pieces were removed, R. Baker & Son dismantled the parapet wall that surrounds the tank farms. Concrete floor trench drains and holding tank were removed from the ground. The concrete was tested for any contaminants and carefully cut and removed in square blocks. Clean backfill and stone replaced the concrete floor and trench to make the area reusable again.
