Chemical Storage
Government guidance makes it clear that pesticide, fuel, fertiliser, and chemical storage should protect against harm to humans, animal health and the environment. With the added element of concerns about security, many of our customers have recently been re-evaluating their storage facilities and have been taking steps to ensure their stores are secure and meet Health & Safety Executive (HSE) requirements. Stores should be resistant to fire, capable of retaining leakage/spillage, dry, be frost-free, adequately ventilated, and secure against unauthorised access.
If you need more guidance we would recommend you refer to the attached advice issued by the Environment Agency on their website - 'Pollution Prevention Guidelines: storage & handling of drums & intermediate bulk containers' (PDF) or their simple guide to preparing your site - 'Getting Your Site Right: Industrial and Commercial Pollution Prevention' (PDF).
Our chemical storage containers meet all these requirements and are also BASIS approved. They are robust, strong, and highly secure and can be easily re-sited.
We offer a range of standard chemicl storage containers as detailed below, or we can build you a bespoke design according to you needs.
Bespoke chemical storage containers can be manufactured in a range of sizes from 8 to 40 feet long. Optional extras include, Racking, Zoned Electrics a,d heating, Insulation, Recessed Bunding, Sectional Bunding, with individual drain points, forced Ventilation and other adaptations.
