Secondary Containment
Secondary containment consists of a liner system that surrounds a primary containment system such as a steel tank. These tanks often contain hazardous materials such as fuel or chemicals that can be very damaging to the environment and dangerous if released by a primary containment failure. | |

If the tank were to fail and leak, then the surrounding secondary containment area is designed to have the capacity to contain the entire spill volume and confine it until clean up can be performed. | |
