Team Pro-Enviro is almost always faced with a new challenge when called to fuel spill recovery incidents. One or multiple vehicles, heavy equipment or loads, and one or more fuel spills may be involved. Because of this, we show up to the accident site ready for any type or size of job. This includes having fuel spill equipment on hand for small or large spills.
Depending on the type of semi-truck or cargo trailer accident, multiple recovery types might be involved in spill cleanup. A fast, professional, and efficient accident recovery plan and process are essential to ensure no further incidents occur, to ensure safety, and to help keep roadways open as usual. The process could involve truck and trailer recovery, cargo load, heavy equipment, or fuel spill recovery.
In December 2021, a stolen vehicle was driven into Puget Sound. Tide Management Seattle PD contracted Team Pro-Tow to help with the water vehicle recovery. Fortunately, we were able to use a light-style rigging kit and spreader bar to hook up to the submerged vehicle. It was safely loaded onto a flatbed and towed away.
Fuel spills can happen anywhere and at any time, meaning a vehicle's leak and spill could occur while parked or while on the road. Successful fuel spill recovery and cleanup involve a careful and efficient approach completed by trained professionals. Pro-Enviro is called to roadsides and fleet garages to complete fuel spill recovery.
We specialize in fuel spill recovery, cargo load recovery and heavy-truck recovery, but sometimes duty calls and requires something more! In this incident, we had to do a little electrical work to fix a refrigerated trailer.
Unfortunately, vehicle accidents happen. Sometimes, debris and a fuel spill from a crash require immediate spill recovery and cleanup. Who cleans up the mess?
If you’ve gotten into an accident involving any spill, whether fluid or oil or damage to the tank, you must contain the spill. After you call Team Pro-Enviro and the authorities and are waiting for help to arrive, there are some things you can do to stay safe and limit contamination.
