CZ underground storage tanks have a capacity range from 5,000L to 100,000L. The Deuma automated assembly and welding facility means that our underground tanks are manufactured with maximum concentricity and straightness. Storage tanks can be supplied as single or multi-compartment, and the supply can include holding-down straps, internal suction pipes, fill pipes with overfill prevention valves, access chambers and ground covers.
All underground storage tanks are fully tested and certified to comply with BS EN 12285 specification and, on completion of manufacture, are externally blast cleaned to SA 2.5 followed by a coating of solvent-free polyurethane. The coating receives a 100% pin-hole detection test on completion.

Breakthrough in Tank Safety...
Conventional underground storage tanks are factory fitted with base frames and holding down straps, for ease of installation, and eliminating the need for site personnel to enter the excavation whilst the tanks are being placed in position. Once the tanks are in position the concrete to form the base is then poured from the top of the excavation and allowed to cover the tank base frame. Subsequent operations can then proceed as normal.
One of the main areas for potential accidents has been whilst attaching the crane hooks and guide ropes when the tanks arrive at the site. This is normally done by climbing a ladder which can slip causing the person involved to fall. CZ now attach the lifting slings, shackles and guide ropes at the factory, secure the slings on the vehicle bed for transportation, and the crane hook can then be attached at ground level, which eliminates the need for anyone to climb on the tank on site arrival..
