36,000 litres.
Below a basement car park.

At a development on Broadwater Road, Britteco cleaned the interior of a 36,000-litre underground water tank intended to supply grey water to toilets.

The client had already drained the tank. Our work involved planned confined-space access beneath the basement car park, site induction and site-specific RAMS. The full report explains the access, preparation and cleaning carried out.

This was a water tank cleaning project. Oil and fuel tank enquiries are assessed against their own contents, condition and requirements.

Hertfordshire tank service questions

Can you install or replace a commercial fuel tank in Hertfordshire?

Yes. Discuss the required capacity, fuel type, base, pipework and access with our team. We will assess the installation and commissioning scope for your site. Explore commercial tank installation and replacement. The Welwyn Garden City case study above documents water tank cleaning, not a fuel tank installation.

Can you inspect or clean diesel storage tanks?

Britteco provides fuel tank inspections, oil and diesel tank cleaning and fuel polishing. An inspection assesses the tank; cleaning addresses internal deposits; polishing filters the stored fuel. Send the tank details and any known issues so we can discuss the appropriate service.

Have you completed work in Hertfordshire?

Yes. The linked Welwyn Garden City case study documents cleaning a 36,000-litre underground water tank beneath a basement car park.

Do you clean water tanks as well as oil tanks?

Our local case study is an underground water tank cleaning project for intended grey-water use. Describe your tank and intended use when enquiring; drinking-water hygiene or disinfection requirements need a separately confirmed scope.

How much does tank cleaning or removal cost?

The quotation depends on tank capacity, contents, residues, access, waste handling and the agreed scope. Send photographs and site details so the team can identify whether a survey is needed.

Can you work with restricted or underground access?

Send the access details for assessment. Our Welwyn Garden City report shows a completed confined-space project, but each site needs its own method and access plan.
