Fuel Polishing
Employing advanced filtration and purification techniques, we offer fuel polishing services to remove water, particulate matter and microbial growth from stored fuel in commercial and industrial tanks across Felixstowe, guaranteeing the supply of clean fuel for critical port operations and transportation.
Forecourt Decommissioning
JW Hinchliffe Tanks provides complete decommissioning services for commercial fuel forecourts within Felixstowe, including the safe removal of tanks and associated infrastructure, thorough site remediation and strict adherence to all safety and environmental protocols.
Foam Filling Tanks
We undertake resin foam filling of fuel and oil tanks, an approved technique for in-situ decommissioning. When conventional removal proves too challenging or costly, this offers an effective alternative. Foam filling reliably renders tanks inert, ensuring safety and efficiency. This method is not recommended if future construction is planned directly over the tank area.

Felixstowe Tank Pressure Testing
We perform basic tank pressure testing for commercial and industrial fuel and oil tanks in Felixstowe. This straightforward check involves applying pressure to quickly confirm the tank’s leak-proof status and identify any immediate breaches.
Felixstowe Tank Integrity Testing
Beyond simple pressure checks, JW Hinchliffe Tanks provides comprehensive tank integrity testing. This advanced service incorporates non-destructive methods, including thickness testing and weld inspection, to deliver a detailed assessment of tank condition and projected lifespan.
