Double-Walled Underground Fuel Tanks for Leak Prevention
Double-walled underground fuel tanks are designed with a dual-layer construction to provide enhanced protection against leaks and environmental contamination.
Double-walled underground fuel tanks are designed with a dual-layer construction to provide enhanced protection against leaks and environmental contamination.
The space between the inner and outer tank acts as a containment area. If the inner tank develops a leak, any spilled fuel is captured within this space, preventing it from reaching the environment.
Sensors can be installed in the containment area to detect leaks early, allowing for prompt action before significant environmental damage occurs.
While the initial investment may be higher than single-walled tanks, the long-term savings from reduced maintenance, extended lifespan, and prevention of costly environmental clean-ups make double-walled tanks a cost-effective choice.
