The Aboveground Alternative
The Fireguard^® Tank is an attractive alternative for complying with stringent underground tank regulations. The Fireguard^® technology was developed through years of research by the Steel Tank Institute and its members, in conjunction with fire marshals, code officials and Underwriters Laboratories. The Fireguard^® tank is Underwriters Laboratories UL-2085 labeled for Fire Protection, Impact Resistance, Ballistics Resistance and Secondary Containment.

Technology

The Fireguard tank employs the best available technology.  Use it to reduce installation code setback requirements by at least 50%.  Some jurisdictions require the fire protection Fireguard affords when storing flammable or combustible liquids above ground.  The Fireguard tank is an inches of high effeciency insulating material between the two walls.  This insulation provides thermal protection for the inner tank in the unlikely event of a pool fire or other extreme heat.  The porous insulation material allows migration of any liquid through the interspace to the monitoring point.  Unlike outdated concrete tanks, Fireguard's steel outer wall protects the insulation eliminating the problem of cracking and spilling concrete.
