Maintenance
Your tank manufacturer will be able to tell you what regular maintenance your tank needs. Use a registered
competent technician to check your tanks, secondary containment and pipework every year and remove any
condensation water that has accumulated within the tank. You should receive a written report on the state of
your tank after the inspection is completed. Any repairs or alterations detailed in the report should be done by a registered, competent technician straightaway.
You should also inspect all accessible parts of your tank, secondary containment, ancillary equipment and
pipework regularly, for signs of damage or leaks. If you are unsure how frequently you should do this, contact us for advice. If you notice any damage, you should have it repaired or replaced immediately.
To make sure a constructed bund retains its integrity, use a reputable company to repair any defects in the bund wall or lining promptly.Keep a log of the inspections, any repair work on your tanks and who carried out the work.
Water taken out of the bund might be contaminated. Any accumulated water, oil or debris should be removed
and disposed of in line with waste management legislation. In all cases where wastes are removed, as the waste
producer you are obliged under the Duty of Care to describe the waste accurately and dispose
of it properly.
In England and Wales, waste contaminated with oil is classed as hazardous waste unless you can show there is
under 0.1% oil.
In Scotland, waste contaminated with oil is classed as special waste, unless you can show there is under 0.1% oil.
To establish if enough oil is present to make a waste special, a generic threshold of 0.1% may be used; however, if the result is below this, there may still be other hazards that make the waste special, such as flammability or toxicity, or the presence of other contaminants; for further information, see Reference 21.
