ABSTRACT:
A system for the safe storage of fluids, such as fuels or other toxic materials. A fluid storage tank is accessibly housed within a water tight, reinforced concrete, underground compartment. Piping and electrical lines run through an accessible, water tight chase in communicating with the storage tank, its housing compartment, fluid pumps, sensors, alarms, and fire extinguishing systems. Free access to the tank within its housing compartment is available so that the tank and its compartment may be inspected and maintained. Because the tank is not buried in gravel or the like, its replacement is a relatively simple and inexpensive task. Fluids which are spilled or leaked, including washdown fluids are recovered for proper disposal. Local seismic conditions are considered in the design of the reinforced concrete housing to assure against cracking and resultant leakage through the walls and floors of the housing.
