Secondary Containment
It’s always good to have a back-up plan
Hopefully, you’ll never use your secondary containment system. Hopefully, you’ll never need an emergency short-term storage system to catch any overflow from your hazardous waste storage tanks. Hopefully, your employees aren’t prone to operational errors, and the safety of your facility and community isn’t in jeopardy. But you’ve got to be prepared for a worst-case scenario.
We’d like to see fewer frazzled publicists explaining to the media how yet another company caused an ecological disaster, and our custom-designed systems can help you prevent that very scenario.
Groundwater protection is a top priority for the EPA. Many companies opt for concrete because it is the least expensive material, but he EPA “believes that most secondary containment concrete structures vaults or otherwise will require an impermeable coating or lining that will prevent migration of waste into the concrete.” Compliance is a must. Why? 97% of all cities, villages, schools, businesses, and industries depend on groundwater for drinking, irrigation, and other processes.
If your facility falls into one of these categories, then you need a failsafe secondary containment coating system:
- Chemical Processing Plants
- Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities
- Tank Farms
- Drum Storage Areas
- Food/Beverage and Pharmaceutical Facilities
- Chemical Loading and Unloading Areas
We’ll conduct a free inspection of your existing secondary containment structures to assess whether they meet traffic and wear demands. We’ll give you our honest opinion about ISO 9000, OSHA, and USDA regulations, and if you current system is providing adequate protection, we’ll shoot straight with you.
