Tank Explosion Response

Following an explosion, Specialty Consulting, Inc. (SPC) was engaged to manage the cleanup of hazardous chemicals identified on-site, including sulfuric acid, triglyceride (common white grease), and sodium hydroxide. Given the toxic nature of these chemicals, a swift response was imperative. SPC quickly developed and submitted a detailed work plan to Master Service Group Restoration to ensure safe and efficient remediation.

The cleanup efforts focused on various areas, including concrete floors, walls, panels, roofing, and metal, plastic, and fiberglass surfaces. SPC employed a combination of cleaning methods, such as water and steam-power washing and wet vacuuming of sludge, which was then placed into waste drums for proper disposal.

The disposal plan involved segregating solid waste for placement in a dumpster provided by the property owner, while all liquid and semi-liquid waste was directed to sump pits and trenches for collection. This comprehensive approach ensured that all hazardous materials were safely managed and removed from the site.

The unique challenge of handling highly toxic chemicals required precise execution and adherence to safety protocols. SPC's prompt and thorough response facilitated a safe and effective cleanup, mitigating potential health and environmental risks.
