The galvanized steel construction and superior quality components allow it to withstand the harshest environmental conditions and provide excellent corrosion resistance.

The steel panels are corrugated to provide optimal lateral strength with a flanged top for added safety. Each sheet is a manageable weight and size with precision cut hole punching for easy fit and assembly.

Zero Ground Disturbance Containment System

This zero ground disturbance containment system does not require post hole drilling, eliminating the expense of hydrovac or anchor trucks for installation. The simple modular design bolts together easily and requires less time to install than traditional containment systems. Its sectional design allows for adjustments to the size of the containment after initial installation as capacity is added or subtracted from the site. It is easily dismantled and moved from site to site; a significant cost advantage over permanent containments.

Round, oblong, square, and rectangular patterns for both single and multiple tank sites are available. When the standard shape doesn’t suit your needs, custom configurations can be designed.

The Zero Ground Disturbance Containment System is the clear choice for short and long term value, particularly where space is a concern.
