Customer Spotlight: Waste Oil Tank Installation for Kaizen Automotive Group
In the automotive industry, proper waste oil storage is an important part of maintaining a safe and efficient service facility. From selecting the right equipment to navigating permitting and inspections, a successful installation requires more than simply putting a tank in place.
When Kaizen Automotive Group needed a waste oil tank installed at one of its Calgary locations, they turned to ACME Equipment Solutions for a complete installation solution.
The Challenge
For Alan Lang, Property Management at Kaizen Automotive Group, working with a new service provider came with some understandable concerns. He needed a team that could complete the installation correctly, address questions throughout the project, and help ensure the work met applicable requirements.
The project involved several key considerations:
- Equipment Selection: Sourcing the necessary components for a functional waste oil storage system.
- Installation: Ensuring equipment was properly installed and integrated into the facility.
- Permitting and Inspection: Coordinating the required permitting and preparing for the Fire Department inspection.
- Communication: Providing timely answers and solutions throughout the project.
Kaizen needed more than an equipment supplier. They needed an experienced installation partner they could trust.
The ACME Approach
ACME Equipment Solutions worked with Kaizen to provide the equipment, installation services, and permitting support required for the waste oil tank project.
Waste Oil Storage Equipment
The installation included several components designed to support the facility's waste oil handling system:
- Waste Oil Overfill Alarm Panel: Provides an alert to help prevent tank overfilling.
- Float Switch Assembly: Supports liquid level monitoring within the tank.
- Banjo Strainer: Helps filter debris from the fluid handling system.
- Air Solenoid Kit: Provides control functionality within the system.
- 140 L Filter Drain: Supports the collection and handling of used oil during service operations.
Installation & Permitting
Beyond supplying the equipment, ACME provided the installation materials and labour, along with permitting services for the used oil tank. By handling multiple aspects of the project, ACME helped simplify the process for Kaizen and provided a consistent point of contact throughout the installation.
Responsive Project Support
For customers working with a new contractor, communication can make all the difference. Throughout the project, ACME team members Gage and Barry worked directly with Alan to address questions, provide updates, and resolve concerns as they arose. This hands-on approach helped build confidence in the installation process and ensured Kaizen had the support they needed from start to finish.
The Result
The waste oil tank installation was completed successfully, with a smooth Fire Department inspection and positive feedback from the customer.
By partnering with ACME, Kaizen benefited from:
- A completed waste oil tank installation with the necessary supporting equipment.
- Permitting assistance and a smooth inspection process.
- Responsive communication and practical solutions throughout the project.
- Fair pricing and a positive overall service experience.
Most importantly, ACME demonstrated the reliability and professionalism needed to turn a first-time customer into a potential long-term partner.
What the Customer Had to Say
"Any questions or concerns I had along the way they were quick to respond and get me answers or solutions. The installation went pretty well and our inspection with the Fire Department was very smooth. I would use them again and will keep them in mind on other projects moving forward.
