Heating Oil Tank Replacement in Templeogue

At OilTankReplacement.ie, we specialize in heating oil tank replacement, relocation, and removal services across the Leinster region. In this case study, we'll walk you through a recent project in Templeogue, Dublin, where we replaced an old heating oil tank in a terrace house. This project highlights our expertise in handling challenging installations, ensuring safety, and providing long-lasting solutions for our clients.

Stage 1: Safe Removal of the Old Tank

The existing tank contained approximately 400 litres of oil. Our first task was to transfer this oil into temporary storage containers. During this process, we carefully separated clean oil from any dirty residues, condensation, and deposits to ensure that only high-quality oil would be used in the new tank.

Next, we disconnected the old tank from the fuel line. Given the layout of the terrace house and limited side access, removing the old tank in one piece was impossible. Our team expertly cut the tank into manageable sections for safe and efficient removal without causing any disruption to the property.

Stage 2: Preparing the Base for the New Tank

A solid and level base is crucial for the longevity of any heating oil tank. We prepared a new base that matched the size and capacity requirements of the new tank. This involved leveling the ground and ensuring the base was constructed to support the tank fully, preventing future issues such as uneven settling or structural stress.

Stage 3: Installing the New Tank

The installation presented a unique challenge due to restricted access. Traditional methods of bringing the tank through side passages or the house were not feasible. Our solution was to move the new tank directly over the fence. While we couldn't capture footage of this process (as our camera operator assisted with the lift), it demonstrated our ability to adapt to site-specific challenges effectively.

We installed a high-quality, bunded tank designed to provide enhanced protection against leaks and environmental contamination. After installation, we reconnected the fuel lines and transferred the clean oil from the temporary storage containers into the new tank.

Conclusion

This project in Templeogue showcases our commitment to delivering professional and efficient heating oil tank services, even in the most challenging situations. Our client now benefits from a safe, reliable, and environmentally friendly heating solution.
