ABSTRACT:
A safety storage enclosure for housing containers of hazardous material is formed using wall components that have complementary edge formations that extend vertically and connect with elongate framing members to provide post-like supports. The wall components connect at their lower end regions with a welded, generally rectangular base assembly, and at their upper end regions with a correspondingly configured roof assembly, with the post-like supports strengthening the enclosure by providing rigid, columnar structures that extend from the base to the roof assembly. Front, back and opposed end walls of a variety of lengths can be formed using selected sets of "standard" wall panels and wall-corner panels, and "door panels" can be substituted for selected wall panels. Framing members of a variety of types are removably and replaceably mounted in inwardly-facing recesses that are defined at junctures of abutting edge formations of adjacent wall and/or wall-corner panels, including framing members that are configured to cooperate with fasteners to adjustably position shelf brackets and the like. A removable grate-like floor fully spans the interior of the enclosure. One or more sumps underlies substantially the entire area of the floor to catch spillage and leakage, with the sumps being elevated so their integrity can be visually checked.
