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 emplys the best available technology. Use it to reduce installation code setback requirements by at least 50%. Some jusridictions require the fire protection Fireguard® affords when storing flammable or combustable liquids above ground. The Fireguard® tank is a inches of high efficiecy 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 interstice to the monitoring point. Unlike outdated concrete tanks, Fireguard®'s steel outer wall protects the insulation eliminating the problem of cracking and spalling concrete.
