Fuel Tank Programs
for Healthcare

Replace, remediate, and plan with confidence, without disrupting patient care.
Backup fuel isn’t optional. We help hospitals and senior living facilities inventory their tanks, comply with regulations, prevent spills, and replace aging assets on a predictable, phased plan.

Planning Ahead Beats Cleaning Up

 

In the early ’90s, underground storage tank rules changed and thousands of hospital tanks were upgraded. Those “new” tanks are now reaching end-of-life. That timing—paired with stricter enforcement—means many facilities are due for assessment or replacement. Waiting for a failure is far more expensive than planning ahead.

Most facilities don’t have a current inventory of their tanks—or a plan for what happens when one fails. That’s where we come in. From identifying risks to managing replacement and regulatory coordination, we help you turn an unseen liability into a managed asset.

What We Do:
 

Inventory &
Assessment

Build and maintain a complete tank registry from public records and on-site verification, with risk and age scoring to prioritize replacements before failures occur.

Compliance &
Planning

Coordinate with state environmental authorities, develop SPCC plans, and create capital roadmaps that align with budgets, reporting, and regulatory cycles.

Replacement &
Continuity

Deliver turnkey tank replacements—including design, permitting, contractor management, and temporary fuel systems—to keep operations online throughout.

Environmental
Oversight

Oversee soil testing, cleanup, and verification to ensure every project meets environmental standards and passes regulatory review.

 

Case Study:

Major Acute-Care Hospital
Tank Replacement

 

Challenge:
A multi-hospital system faced aging tanks, ad-hoc repairs, and growing regulatory scrutiny.

Approach:
Built a system-wide registry, prioritized high-risk sites, refreshed SPCC plans, coordinated with the state regulator. Deployed temporary fuel cells and executed phased replacements.

Outcomes:
Fewer emergencies, predictable budgets, faster approvals.
(Typical tank replacement: ~$250K–$1M; spill cleanups can add $500K–$2M—planning ahead avoids those unplanned costs.)
