Found an Old Tank on Your Farm?

If you've discovered an old fuel tank on a farm or rural property, don't simply start digging around it without considering the location of the tank, surrounding services and the condition of the soil.

CMH Earthworks can assess the earthmoving and excavation requirements and provide the machinery and labour required for the excavation component of the job.

​

Farm Tank Removal for Property Sales & Development

An old fuel tank can become an issue when a farm is being sold, redeveloped or converted to another use.

If tank removal is required before construction or other property works can proceed, CMH Earthworks can undertake the excavation and associated earthmoving work.
