Tank & Pit Support
Pits, frac tanks and open-top tanks cleaned from the inside. Our crews go in and do the work where the buildup actually is — every man in the space wears a harness on a tag line, and a dedicated hole watch stays topside with eyes on him the entire time. Jenks provides the cleaning labor and equipment; customer or third-party vacuum support is used when required.

Tank & Pit Support questions
Do your crews go inside tanks and pits?
Yes — that's how the cleaning is done. The man inside wears a harness on a tag line, and a dedicated hole watch stays topside with eyes on him for the entire job, making sure the man in the pit is okay and safe.
Do you provide vacuum trucks or haul waste?
No. Jenks provides the cleaning labor and equipment. Vacuum trucks and waste hauling come from the customer or a third party, and we coordinate with them so the job runs in the right order.
Which tanks do you clean?
Frac tanks, open-top tanks and pits — typically between jobs, before tanks are released and moved, or as part of the customer's cleaning program.
How do you keep inside work safe?
The JSA covers the space before anyone goes in. The man inside is harnessed on a tag line, a dedicated hole watch is posted topside for the duration, and every Jenks employee — inside or on watch — has stop-work authority if conditions change.
