The
Aboveground Solution to the Underground Problem
Interest in the preservation
of our environment has prompted all levels of government to
issue strict guidelines for the installation, operation and
removal of underground storage tanks (USTs). In the event of
a leak, the actual costs for soil and groundwater clean-up can
be catastrophic.ConVault’s innovative Protected aboveground
storage tanks are the proven solution for these problems.
Primary steel tanks
(including spill containment basins) are fabricated in accordance
with UL Standard 142 (Seventh Edition). The assembly has passed
numerous performance tests including 2-hour liquid-pool/furnace
fire tests, vehicle impact and projectile-resistance investigations.
The ConVault AST is listed in accordance with ULC 142.16, ULC
142.23 and UL Standard 2085 Insulated/Secondary Containment
for Aboveground Storage Tanks/Protected Type.
Designed
for Value
The ConVault AST system will provide ongoing value for fuel
storage. More stringent regulations are consistently on the
horizon; however, with a ConVault AST the need for updating
is greatly reduced while operating costs are substantially lower
than virtually any other AST available. The end result: The
Owner/Operator of a ConVault AST is always provided with PEACE
OF MIND. Realizing the diverse needs of our industry, ConVault
has responded by expanding our product line to include tank
sizes ranging from 125 to 12,000 gallons (including multi-compartment
options).ConVault ASTs are shop-fabricated under strict quality
controls in accordance with UL Standard 2085 and/or ULC CAN/ORD
142.16 and 142.23 for Protected Tanks. The unit is shipped as
a finished assembly, normally limiting the need for major on-site
work to providing a concrete pad and electrical service.
Primary/secondary containment, leak monitoring and spill containment
are independently tested at the plants to insure proper performance
in the field. Each unit is pressurized twice at the factory for
leak-tight purposes prior to shipment in accordance with UL and
ULC requirements, as well as patenting processes. ConVault ASTs
are produced at manufacturing sites around the world. Click

AST design. Each ConVault AST is exhaustively production-tested
at the factory before shipment to its destination. ConVault
ASTs meet NFPA 30/30A, UFC, BOCA and SBCCI fire safety requirements
in the USA and provide grounding sources in accordance with
