ABSTRACT:
In general, confinement systems of barriers for use around oil or other storage tanks are expensive and/or difficult to install. A relatively simple protective barrier includes corrugated panels connected end-to-end to define an enclosure, a bar or cap mounted on the panels, a plurality of threaded rods for extending through the cap into the ground, an anchor for mounting on the bottom end of each rod, whereby, when the rod is pulled upwardly, the anchor engages the ground to hold the rod firmly in position, and a nut for mounting on each rod above the bar which can be tightened to push the bar and consequently the panels downwardly into the ground.
