Bus Barns and the Need for Insurance Archaeology Services
In every corner of America you can find Bus Barns or Fleet Maintenance Facilities, be it under the management of a transit authority, school, utility, corporation, municipal government, or port.
“Bus Barns, with their decades-old infrastructure, face a complex legacy of hydrocarbon pollution and groundwater contamination, necessitating a careful balance of environmental compliance and financial management.”
With infrastructure in some cases over 70 years old, these facilities have seen generations of fueling, repairing and cleaning practices, often leading to present day environmental challenges.
Over-spills and leaking lines from USTs have resulted in significant hydrocarbon pollution, impacting not just the site but potentially neighboring properties as well.
Furthermore, the cleaning practices, essential for both presentation and functionality, have historically utilized chlorinated solvents similar to those in dry cleaning operations. This may contribute to widespread groundwater contamination and vapor intrusion issues, a legacy that current owners must now confront.
For current owners and operators of Bus Barns, addressing these historical environmental issues is not just a matter of environmental compliance but also a financial challenge. This is where the expertise of professional insurance archaeologists, like those at Restorical Research, becomes invaluable.
