Abstract
The article presents an analytical review of currently existing domestic and foreign investigations regarding the change of sandy soil properties in case of contamination with oil or various types of oil products during the operation of oil industry facilities. An example of emergency destruction of a fuel oil tank in St. Petersburg as a result of changes in the physical and mechanical properties of the base soil after contamination of it with petroleum products is given. Changes in such physical characteristics of sandy soil as granulometric composition, porosity, optimum and natural humidity, density of soil skeleton depending on the type of pollutant and its percentage content (concentration) in the soil are considered.
