Chemical and HazMat Storage Buildings
Protect your Employees and the Environment
SafeSite chemical and hazmat storage buildings are designed to provide safe storage, dispensing, and transfer of hazardous materials, chemicals, flammables and combustibles.
Two Hour, Four Hour, or Non-Combustible Fire Rating
Our standard building has a two hour fire rating. We also offer a four hour fire rating (per code) for customers that need units that will be installed inside another building. For customers that do not require a fire rated building, non-combustible buildings are also available.
Unmatched Strength and Quality
SafeSite storage buildings are strong enough to withstand explosions, interior pool fires, and extreme temperature swings. Furthermore, they offer proven structural reliability and secure secondary containment under catastrophic situations. SafeSite storage buildings undergo stringent evaluation and independent testing which assures unmatched quality. Consequently, these units are the best possible solution for the storage or dispensing of flammable goods.
Storage Applications
Paint/Thinner/Varsol Storage
Customers use SafeSite hazmat storage buildings to store 55 gallon drums. Another usage is the storage of one gallon cans with the addition of shelving units. In addition, separation walls of non-combustible construction (14 gauge steel) afford a degree of protection from mixing incompatible substances, materials, and/or products.
Pesticide and Fertilizer Storage
SafeSite hazmat storage buildings are approved as suitable containment by the Crop Protection Institute and meet established guidelines for natural and mechanical ventilation.
Corrosive Chemical Storage
SafeSite FM approved corrosive chemical storage buildings come in fire rated and non-combustible units. Highly concentrated corrosives can cause vapors if they come in contact with non-compatible coatings. We evaluate individual products to ensure that the coating provided will withstand a spill—and we match our paint to your product.
Battery Storage
SafeSite battery storage buildings are fully secure and are designed to contain vapors produced during recharging or explosions.
HouseHold Hazardous Waste Storage
You can enhance community awareness and reduce collection and operations costs with a Permanent Household Hazardous Waste program.
Chlorine Storage
Chlorine gas is very poisonous and corrosive. Therefore, chlorine should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly sealed containers protected from exposure to weather, extreme temperature changes, and physical damage. Furthermore, the containers should be stored separately from flammable gases, vapors, and combustible substances. While chlorine itself is not combustible, contact with these other substances can lead to a fire or explosion.
Used Oil & Hydraulic Fluids Storage
Customers must consider fire hazard and fire exposure. In addition, you need to consider the setback from property line and public-way, fire rating of adjacent wall(s), ventilation, and spill control (refer to NFPA 30). The number of drums that a facility may store is related to the fire rating, square footage, and automatic fire sprinkler protection of the room.
Gasoline & Diesel Storage
SafeSite hazmat buildings can be equipped for dispensing inside the building.
