Outdoor Self-Bunded Fuel Tanks: Built for Harsh Environments
Self-bunded tanks are exceptionally well-suited for outdoor use, featuring robust construction and protective designs that withstand diverse environmental challenges while maintaining fuel integrity and safety.
Durable Construction Materials
Manufactured from high-grade steel with corrosion-resistant treatments, these tanks resist:
Rust formation UV degradation Moisture damage Temperature extremes
Double-Walled Protection System
The innovative inner tank + outer bund design provides:
- Leak containment - 110% capacity bund wall catches any spills
- Physical protection - Shields against impacts from debris or equipment
- Thermal regulation - Air gap between walls buffers temperature fluctuations
Weather Resistance Features
Engineered specifically for outdoor endurance, these tanks incorporate:
- Industrial-grade weatherproof coatings that reflect UV rays
- Optional insulation packages for cold climate operation
-
Chemical-resistant finishes that prevent degradation from:
- Acid rain
- Salt spray (coastal areas)
- Industrial pollutants
Ideal Outdoor Applications
- Construction sites - Withstands dust, vibration, and temporary placement needs
- Agricultural operations - Resists chemical exposure from fertilizers/pesticides
- Mining operations - Durable enough for remote, rugged terrain
- Industrial yards - Complies with strict outdoor storage regulations
- Emergency power locations - Maintains fuel quality during prolonged outdoor storage
Installation Tip: For optimal outdoor performance, position tanks on level, stable ground with proper drainage. Allow at least 1m clearance around all sides for maintenance access and ventilation. Regular inspections (quarterly recommended) help identify any weather-related wear before it becomes significant.
Compliance & Safety Assurance
These tanks meet rigorous international standards for outdoor fuel storage including:
- API 650 (American Petroleum Institute)
- EN 12285 (European Standard)
- AS 1940 (Australian Standard)
- Local environmental protection regulations
