Petroleum
TEC is a petroleum services firm dedicated to excellence in the construction, service, repair & maintenance, and testing & inspection of petroleum fueling systems. Our team brings unparalleled expertise and commitment from decades in the petroleum industry to projects like tank system layout and design, fuel management systems, ongoing operations, and maintenance.
From initial design and state-of-the-art construction of fueling infrastructure to rigorous testing and inspections of systems, TEC ensures that petroleum facilities meet the highest environmental standards and regulatory compliance. We blend technical proficiency with a commitment to minimizing environmental impact, maximizing safety, and providing comprehensive solutions that resonate with the evolving needs of the petroleum sector.
Construction
TEC is your trusted partner in the petroleum construction industry specializing in Underground Storage Tank (UST) and Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) system installation, closure, fuel management systems, emergency power generator fueling systems, and PermAlert Leak Detection Systems.
UST/AST systems are typically designed to safely contain fuel for delivery to facility heating systems or fleet fueling and maintenance operations. The systems can range from a basic piping run from tank to dispenser to a complex, highly technical array of multiple runs with sensors and gauges, depending upon the application. Fuel management systems provide you control over the fueling operations, allowing for accurately measuring and managing the product within an agency (or company, facility, etc.).
The closure or decommissioning of UST/AST systems involves either the physical removal of the tank system from the ground or abandonment-in-place. In either case, the purpose of the closure is to ensure unused or older tank systems do not pose a threat to the environment or public safety.
Generator fueling systems are typically designed as a backup emergency power supply and are increasingly more common to prevent loss of operations during outages, surges, and unforeseen weather conditions. Data processing centers, secured facilities, and military installations have additional needs to protect data and equipment from leaks and are benefiting from PermAlert Leak Detection Systems to monitor cable runs and pinpoint leaks in a fuel system, allowing for quicker response and loss prevention.
Service, Repair & Maintenance
Our petroleum services department offers cloud-based dispatching and record keeping allowing TEC to respond timely to your fueling system service needs.
Whether it’s UST/AST or generator fueling system maintenance, fuel management system troubleshooting, dispenser repairs, tank monitoring system service, or fuel filtration issues, our service technicians are trained, certified, and knowledgeable in all aspects of service, repair, and maintenance.
Testing & Inspections
Petroleum fueling systems require periodic testing and inspections to confirm their integrity and prevent spills, leaks, or releases to the environment.
UST inspection requirements vary by state but typically include physical inspection of components such as containment sumps, spill & overfill prevention equipment, and cathodic protection. As part of the inspection, tightness testing of the tanks is often required. Some inspections can be performed by the owner/operator and some require a third-party inspection.
AST inspections are a critical compliance issue under the EPA’s rule for Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC). The SP001 standard provides a means for AST owners to comply with EPA mandates.
Every year, TEC performs hundreds of petroleum tank system tests and conducts inspections for compliance with state and Federal regulations. Our inspectors are trained and certified in Maryland, DC, and Virginia, and we also offer UST operator training classes either at our facility in Laurel, MD, or onsite at your facility.
