Highland Tank -
Fireguard Aboveground Storage Tanks
 
 
  The Aboveground Alternative:
 
  The Fireguard Tank is an attractive alternative for complying with stringent underground tank regulations. The Fireguard technology was developed through years of research by the Steel Tank Institute and its members, in conjunction with fire marshals, code officials and Underwriters Laboratories. The Fireguard tank is Underwriters Laboratories UL-2085 labeled for Secondary Containment and is available from any of our six manufacturing locations.
 
  Technology
The Fireguard Tank employs the best available technology. It is used where a fire-protected tank is needed because of setback limitations and/or regulatory insistence for storage of flammable and combustible liquids. The Fireguard tank is a double-wall steel tank with a minimum of three inches of high efficiency insulating material between the two walls. This insulation provides thermal protection for the inner tank in the unlikely event of a pool fire or other extreme heat. The insulation material is porous and allows migration of any liquid through the interstice to the monitoring point. Unlike outdated concrete encased tanks, Fireguard's steel outer wall protects the insulation eliminating the problem of cracking and spalling concrete.
