Find buried tanks before they become buried problems

UST Detection

Undetected underground storage tanks are a serious liability — for real estate buyers, property owners, and environmental consultants alike. Our UST detection service uses ground penetrating radar combined with electromagnetic verification to locate buried tanks, define their boundaries, and support Phase 1/2 ESA and decommissioning planning. We work across Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland BC.
