01
Contents first
Years of settled material against a liner that gave up some time ago. None of the steel moves until this is dealt with, and how it is dealt with depends entirely on what it turns out to be.
Capability 04
Deconstruction
End of life tanks taken down safely. Materials cleared, site left tidy and ready for whatever comes next.
Taking it down
The end of a tank is still a job for specialists
A bolted tank comes apart the way it went up, in order. Pulling one down with a machine and a plan made up on the day is how sites get hurt.
- 01
Controlled strip out
Taken apart in sequence rather than pushed over. The same knowledge that puts one up is what makes taking one down predictable.
- 02
Contents cleared
Sludge and residue dealt with before the steel comes down, because what is in the bottom of a tank is usually the actual problem.
- 03
Materials off site
Steel, liner and fittings cleared away, so you are not left with a pile to organise after we have gone.
- 04
Site left ready
The pad handed back tidy, whether the next thing on it is another tank or nothing at all.
- 05
Any brand of tank
Same as everything else we do. It does not matter whose name was on it.
- 06
Nationwide
Christchurch based, crews on both islands.
On site
What we walk into
End of life tanks are rarely empty and almost never clean. The first question on any takedown is what is still in it.
02
Then the steel
A machine inside the shell, working out rather than in. The tank comes apart in the reverse of the order it went together.
Pending from Charles: how materials are disposed of or recycled, and whether that is Impact's job or the client's.Pending from Charles: whether Impact handles contaminated or hazardous contents, and what happens when a tank turns out to hold something notifiable.Pending from Charles: who arranges consenting for a takedown.Pending: more deconstruction photographs. There are two usable ones in the whole library and both are on this page.
Where they go
Five sectors, one set of hands
What changes between a fire water tank and an effluent tank is the liner, the fittings and the compliance around it. The steel gets the same treatment either way.

The other three
One crew for the whole life of the tank
Most owners meet us at one of these four and find out about the rest later. You do not need us to have built a tank to get us to look at it.
01
Build & Install
New tanks assembled on site. A single farm tank, or a multi-tank project with steelwork and civil works, our crews are doing this every week of the year.
Read more 02Repair & Refurbishment
Leak diagnosis, panel and seal replacement, structural repair. Any brand of bolted tank, whoever put it up.
Read more 03Maintenance & Servicing
Liner replacement, internal cleaning and scheduled servicing that keeps a tank watertight and compliant.
