Tank removal by AVJET

The project is located in the western sector of the Natashquan airport. It involves the permanent removal of :
- a 47,500-litre jet fuel tank;
- a 9,000 l 100LL gasoline tank.

These tanks are placed on a 15m x 12m concrete slab, which will be dismantled.

A shed a few metres from the tanks will also be removed. This is located on a second concrete slab measuring 3m x 6m, which will be dismantled at the end of the work. The tanks and residual materials will be transported or disposed of off-site. The area will be backfilled with gravel to level the surface.

Following dismantling, an environmental characterization project will be carried out to determine the quality of the soils left in place.
The machinery required for the planned work will be a mechanical shovel and a wheel loader. Equipment will circulate only in areas authorized by security. No vegetation removal is required for the work.
