You
are probably aware that underground fuel storage tanks are a main
source of soil contamination in this country. Underground fuel
storage tanks corrode and leak fuel oil and gas into the soil and
cause soil contamination. The contamination may even reach the
underground water streams and be carried into the drinking water
systems. Decontamination of the underground fuel storage tanks’
location is extremely costly and can have a devastating financial
burden on tanks’ owners and operators.
Regulatory agencies have enacted many guidelines requiring the
owners and operators of the underground fuel storage tanks to
install expensive leak detection and monitoring facilities to
prevent costly contamination problems. There are also many
regulations covering installation and operation of
"unprotected" above ground steel storage tanks. To solve
the problems associated with the underground storage tanks and the
unprotected aboveground steel storage tanks, Fire Protection Inc
has come up with a breakthrough idea of constructing a tank that
does not have the costly underground tank’s leak monitoring
system and contamination problem and at the same time has overcome
the problems associated with the unprotected aboveground steel
tanks. Because of its unique monolithic concrete construction
feature, the Fire Protection Inc tank system provides a two (2)
hour fire protection, vehicle impact resistance and bullets
resistance proven by the tests carried out by the Underwriters
Laboratories of USA (UL) and Canada (ULC). |

Protection Inc has responded to the growing need of environmental
issues by expanding our product line to include tank sizes ranging
from 125 to 12,000 gallons (including multi-compartment options)
FPI’s AST’s 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 FPI AST is shipped as a finished
assembly, normally limiting the need for major on-site work to
providing a concrete pad and electrical service making
instillation a snap. |

tanks are designed to have a low center of gravity that can
withstand vehicle impact and tipping during earthquakes and other
natural disasters. FPI tanks have withstood even phenomenon tests. |
