Residential Project
Site Decommissioning & Underground Oil Tank Removal
Getting a residential redevelopment site ready for demolition: utilities cut, asbestos testing arranged, septic addressed and the underground oil tank out of the ground — every regulated step handled by the right licensed contractor, on one schedule.
Overview
Before this Woodbury property could be demolished for redevelopment, the site had to be decommissioned: water and electric shut off, asbestos testing performed, the septic system addressed, and an underground oil tank located, removed and cleared away. Gazelle Construction managed the entire pre-demolition sequence for the owner.
The Challenge
Almost everything in this scope is regulated work that must be performed by a licensed specialty contractor — tank removal, asbestos testing, septic abandonment. What the owner needed wasn’t one trade; it was someone to identify the right contractors, procure them, schedule them in the right order and supervise the site so demolition could proceed without surprises.
Our Approach
Gazelle handled water shut-off and electrical cutoff for the structure, arranged asbestos testing, and identified, procured and supervised licensed contractors for the underground oil tank removal, septic tank removal and the demolition itself. Regulated scopes were assigned to properly licensed contractors, with Gazelle coordinating sequencing, access and completion. The tank was excavated, extracted, opened and cleaned, with residual contents drummed for disposal.
The Result
A decommissioned site with utilities safely disconnected and the tank out of the ground — cleared to move into demolition. The photographs below are unaltered site records from April 2026.
