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

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.).
Ontario, CA
TAIT Environmental Services, Inc. prepared the storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) for truck parking facilities as a requirement for the Industrial Storm Water Discharge Permit. TAIT also performed employee training for monthly site inspections, and completed the storm water sampling from the outfalls at each site during the Qualifying Storm Events (QSEs). TAIT’s Qualifi ed Industrial Storm Water Practitioners (QISPs) will assist the client with reporting and sampling requirements going forward.
Fairfield, TX
TAIT Environmental Services, Inc. TAIT was hired by Awalt Wholesale to investigate the source of a light aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) that was discovered in a monitor well at the truck stop. TAIT employed a free product skimming system to remove as much as possible of the floating LNAPL. We also employed mobile dual-phase extraction (MDPE) to remove additional vapor- and free-phase product from the site.
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…)
