In this Tank TV case study, Simple Tank Services returns to Bayonne, New Jersey, to complete the backfilling after a difficult-access 550-gallon underground oil tank removal.
Project Overview
- Location: Bayonne, New Jersey
- Tank: 550-gallon underground heating oil tank
- Services: Tight-access oil tank removal and backfill
- Episode Focus: Tight Access Oil Tank Removal – Part II
- Contractor: Simple Tank Services
What Happened on This Project
After the tank removal, the crew returned to restore the excavation. Because the work area sat along a retaining wall with limited access, conventional backfilling would have required significantly more hand labor.
The crew used equipment to transfer material from the truck and place it over the retaining wall into the excavation, reducing manual handling and allowing the site to be restored more efficiently.
Why This Matters for New Jersey Homeowners
Backfilling can be just as challenging as the tank removal itself when a property has retaining walls, narrow side yards, stairs, or limited equipment access. Planning the restoration method in advance helps control cost and minimize disturbance to the property.
