Project description

DM Engineers led the successful redesign and implementation of the fuel oil tank system at Columbia University following the discovery of corrosion-related failure in the existing 2,000-gallon steel tank. The damage, caused by prolonged water infiltration in the tank room, prompted the replacement with a new 2,500-gallon double-wall fuel oil tank equipped with main level sensors and high/low-level alarms.

As part of the construction management process, DM Engineers oversaw the full demolition and removal of the existing tank, conducted comprehensive technical reviews of submittals and shop drawings to ensure alignment with Columbia University’s design standards, and coordinated all necessary system shutdowns with CU Facilities.

The team managed the installation and commissioning of the new system, supervised construction activities, and ensured that all work met regulatory requirements. DM Engineers also liaised with authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) and university departments to secure all final approvals, delivering a compliant and fully operational fuel system upgrade.
