Fuel Tank Removal in Deddington, Oxfordshire
Removing redundant fuel storage and associated pipework for a large telecommunications company.
Redundant fuel storage.
A coordinated removal.
A large telecommunications company needed a redundant steel gas oil tank and associated equipment removed from its Deddington premises in Oxfordshire. Britteco removed the tank and connected pipework, and moved the generator to the site’s car park.
The project brought together plant-room access planning, crane-assisted lifting and the removal of redundant pipework. For similar commercial projects, see our oil and fuel tank removal service.
Access and isolation.
A site visit reviewed the equipment and the route out of the building. The doorway and a step were practical access considerations for the removal.
The works were rescheduled while the client arranged electrical isolation. The fuel had already been removed or transferred before the final removal works.
Tank removed.
Pipework dismantled.
Britteco removed the redundant fuel tank and associated pipework. The generator was moved to the site’s car park as part of the agreed works.
The tank was lifted out through the plant-room doorway using a crane. The associated pipework was removed, while the generator remained on the premises in the car park.

Fuel tank removal questions
Where did this fuel tank removal take place?
The work took place at a telecommunications site in Deddington, Oxfordshire.
What did Britteco remove?
Britteco removed the redundant fuel tank and associated pipework. The generator was also moved from its original position to the site’s car park.
Was fuel transferred during this project?
The fuel had already been removed or transferred before Britteco’s removal works. Fuel transfer was therefore outside this project’s final removal scope.
How was access planned?
A site visit identified the route for removing the equipment, including a doorway and a step. These access features formed part of the preparation for the work.
How is a commercial fuel tank removal quote prepared?
Send Britteco the tank details, site postcode and photographs of the equipment and access route. The quotation should identify which work is included, such as tank and pipework removal, any fuel handling, and any generator movement. For this Deddington project, fuel had already been removed or transferred before the removal works, while the generator was moved to the site’s car park.
