️Tank & Bund Construction

The TAN.GBI-5270 features a double-skinned design, comprising an inner primary tank enclosed within an outer bunded tank. This configuration provides 110% containment, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and safeguarding against potential leaks. The tank is constructed from construction plate steel to BS EN 10025-2:2004 S275JR and mounted on full-width bearers for stability. The outer tank serves as a protective barrier, offering secondary containment in the unlikely event of inner tank failure.

Imperium® Technology | Smarter, Stronger, Faster

Imperium® Technology represents more than 18 months of research and development. It’s a complete rethink as to how our steel oil tanks, including those for waste oil, are designed and built.  Imperium®’s unique and original approach couples precision design with a new modular construction method. This is where each tank is made to tighter tolerances, needs fewer welds, has improved corrosion resistance, standardised fittings and close adherence to British standards.

Fuel Compatibility

This tank is suitable for the safe storage of a wide range of fuels including:

• White diesel (DERV)
• Red diesel (gas oil)
• Heating oil
