Protecting Precious Resources
Is Our Commitment
Protecting our environment is essential for a healthy planet. We are committed to protecting our precious communities from environmental risks posed by Fueling Systems, and we are a leader in this important industry.
Underground and Above Ground Storage Tanks pose unique threats to our groundwater. Their contents must be properly contained and inspected to ensure that leaks do not harm our water supply. At TAIT, we are passionate about this, and it is the core of our Environmental Business.
Our National Fleet of technicians, designers, and managers are responsible for the Construction, Testing, Repairs, and Regulatory Compliance of Underground and Above Ground Storage Tanks across the Country.
Featured Environmental Projects
Bishop, CA
Southern California Edison (SCE) is responsible for providng electricity to 14 million people across 50,000 square miles. TAIT designed and installed a complex above ground storage tank system which serves as SCE's remotely located hydroelectric facility, located in Bishop, CA.
Northern California
TAIT works closely with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) in Northern California to keep their fueling systems up to date, and to make sure they meet all current regulations. We perform UST removals, and AST installations at their facilities. These projects are Design/Build. Our in-house team meets with PG&E staff to determine the needs for each facility, then we use the in-house Engineering Team to design the new systems, we permit the new installation, and then we construct the new Fueling system.
TAIT’s environmental services include providing due diligence review for clients needing a second opinion on environmental issues of a project site. One good example of this type of service involved TAIT being contracted by a land developer to review the environmental issues at a former oil field in Southern California. The developer wanted a second opinion on whether the property could clear environmental hurdles for residential development. (more…)
Los Angeles, CA
TAIT provides monthly Designated Operator (DO) inspections at approximately 140 fuel facilities for the City of Los Angeles Department of General Services. TAIT has been repeatedly selected as the contractor to provide DO inspections for the City of Los Angeles since 2005, when the State of California regulations requiring DO inspections went into effect. Continually upgrading technology, providing a high quality of service, and optimizing quality and performance earn TAIT longstanding clients such as the City of Los Angeles.
TAIT Environmental Services has restored hundreds of Aboveground Storage Tanks across the nation for various clients. This adds years to the life of the tanks, which provide fuel for emergency generators to supply backup power for communications and other systems. This can be done at a fraction of the cost that replacing the tank would cost.
Various Remote Rocky Mountain Locations
TAIT conducted vaulted tank inspections at remote communications facilities on behalf of CenturyLink. These tanks provide fuel for backup power systems at locations critical to CenturyLink’s communications network. Due to the significant terrain, TAIT coordinated air logistics to conduct the mandated inspections.
Long Beach, CA
TAIT hired by the Fleet Services Bureau of the City of Long Beach for underground storage tank (UST) consulting and construction management. The consulting role is centered on compliance with the consent judgment between the City of Long Beach and the state of California, while the construction management scope involves comprehensive management of all fuel storage tank capital improvement projects. The construction management role involves full service management. This includes development of project scope, review of bids, bid award selection input, facilitation of job-walks and kickoff meetings, and complete management of the construction activities (ensuring timeline adherence, change order processing, etc.).
Various Locations,- US, Virgin Islands, Guam
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulates and oversees all aspects of civil aviation throughout the United States. TAIT installed or upgraded fuel systems that supply backup power for communication and navigation services critical to aviation safety.
