ABSTRACT:
A system for detecting leaks in a tank, or the like, comprising an excavation basin including a periphery and defining a generally saucer-like formation with a basin surface with slopes from the periphery. A tank supported by the excavation basin. The tank as a permeation barrier extending from the periphery of the basin excavation and is supported by and conforms to the basin surface of the saucer-like formation. A corrosion curtain is integrally bound to the permeation barrier and defines an upright wall of the tank. Particulate matter is supported by the permeation barrier, and a liquid-impervious liner continuously extends from the top of and down the corrosion curtain upright side wall and across the top of the particulate matter that is being supported by the permeation barrier. An improved liquid leakage receiver is positioned in the particulate matter.
