This is the first of two oil tanks this size removed from a re-inforced underground bomb proof bunker. We removed the second tank on Thursday 25th.
There is one more smaller oil tank to be removed yet from another part of the bunker, we will be breaking through the re-inforced roof to remove this next week. Added by Charlie Kemp (Contracts Manager)Currie Brothers
