Steel: The Material of Choice

The Steel AdvantageSteel is the material of choice atHighland Tank because of its manyadvantages, and it should be yours

too. As a construction material,steel is strong, affordable, reliableand environmentally friendly. Steel’sunique combination of properties andcharacteristics enable it to achieveperformance levels required in today’sstorage tanks. Because of its productcompatibility, steel is the best choicefor your liquid storage needs, includingmotor fuels, biofuels, heating oils,aviation fuels, lube oils and chemicals.

Speci ed for StrengthWe buy steel according to our ownstrict guidelines and rigid ASTMspeci cations. All of our mild carbon

steel is ne grain with superiortoughness and surface quality thatoffers both weldability and improvedcorrosion resistance. The time-testedstrength and performance of steelremains unparalleled.

Steel’s structural integrity can withstandeven extreme weather conditions ornatural disasters. State-of-the-artfabrication technology, welding, interiorlinings and exterior coatings reinforcethe durability of Highland’s mild carbonand stainless steel products.

Environmental Bene tsSteel has the highest recyclingrate of any durable material in theUnited States. Unlike concrete or

plastic storage tanks, or even thosereinforced with berglass, recycledsteel storage tanks ultimately keep avaluable commodity out of the nation’sland lls. In addition, the latest recyclingprocesses drastically reduce industrialemissions by over 70% to air andwater, accompanied by a reductionof approximately 30% in the amount ofenergy required to produce new steel.

Superior Structual Strength

Recycled steel productsare important to projects

striving to achieve LEEDcerti cation. Highland Tankcan help companies earnvaluable Materials andResources credits.

When specifying or ordering customstainless steel tanks from Highland,our experienced staff will assist youin selecting just the right grade andcombination of features to meet yourspeci c needs.



Highland Tank Sets the StandardFew names in the eld of storage tank manufacturing are as widely recognized as Highland Tank.Our products are available in a vast range of sizes, all types of construction and a variety of options.

Design StandardsHighland Tank fabricates tanksand vessels to a wide range of

speci cations and standards. • Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

UL-58, UL-80, UL-142 ®, UL-1746,UL-208

• National Fire Protection AssociationNFPA 22, NFPA 30-30A, NFPA 58

• American Petroleum Institute

• API-650, API-12F

• American Water Works Association AWWA D100

• Occupational and Safety Health Administration OSHA

• Southwest Research InstituteSWRI 97-04

We can supply a full range ofequipment packages, and we excelin custom fabrication for thoseunique situations.

Material SelectionThe fabrication process begins withthe rolling of steel that meets ASTM

speci cations. Steel plates from 7gauge to 1.25" are rolled to form therigid shell.

Steel plates are formed, tted andlap-welded to provide superior“ribbed” strength. Flat- anged headsare standard, as are continuousexterior welds on all joints. Imperviousbulkheads are added to createcompartments for multiple uid

storage options.

Fittings of various sizes and stylesenable connections to external pipingsystems. Emergency vent ttingsare standard on all abovegroundfuel storage tanks 24" diameter, orlarger. Cylindrical or large rectangularmanways allow for convenient accessfor inspection and maintenance.

100% Secondary ContainmentDouble-wall tanks are constructedby wrapping an impervious

secondary wall completely aroundthe primary tank.

The space between the two walls,known as the interstice, assures arapid uid migration rate not less thanone centimeter per second, vastlysuperior to the allowable rate. Theinterstitial space can be electronicallymonitored to immediately detect a leak;any breach in the wall of the tank that

results in a leak can be immediatelyaddressed without impactingthe environment.

Emergency vent ttings are standardon both the inner and outer tanks ofdouble-wall aboveground fuel storagetanks, per re codes.

The Ultimate Protection(DW UL-2085)Fireguard ® re-protected tanks are

cylindrical or rectangular double-wallaboveground tanks. The exterior steelwall provides superior weatherabilityand low-cost maintenance. Theinterstice, a minimum of 3" around theinner tank, is lled with a lightweightmaterial which provides thermalinsulation for a 2-hour minimum

re rating.

Both inner and outer tanks can be

tightness tested and are equipped withemergency vent ttings. Our Fireguard ® tanks meet or exceed requiredstandards for protected, insulated,

re-rated storage tanks.

Unique Secondary Containment(DW UL-1746)The inner tank is constructed similarly

to a UL-58 single-wall steel tank,but the outer thermoplastic tank ismade from a high molecular weightpolymer creating a tough, economicaldouble-wall tank. The intersticedesign assures uid migration to themonitoring system. This innovative tanktechnology is Highland Tank’sown TITAN ®.

Factory Testing

A 5 PSI factory air test and seaminspection is conducted on everystorage tank. All undergrounddouble-wall storage tanks are shippedwith a vacuum on the interstice forcontinuous testing to guaranteeintegrity of both the primary andsecondary tanks.

Performance CoatingsProper surface preparation is animportant factor in any successful

coating or lining. Quality assuranceis maintained through Highland’scomplete in-house grit blast cleaning,

nishing and curing facilities. Ourfacilities are temperature-controlled foryear-round application.

The OP Tank is equipped with apatented over ll protection systemand integral over ll chamber designedto capture and store over lls resultingfrom mistakes or failures during llingoperations. Unlike other forms ofsecondary containment, the OP keepsthe product in the storage tank where itcan be easily recovered and used.

Over ll Protection From:

• Malfunctioning over ll limiter

• Unattended delivery truck

• Malfunctioning vents

• Distracted delivery attendant

• Malfunctioning gauge

• Incorrect inventory record

• Malfunctioning alarm

OP Tank FeaturesIn the unlikely event of an over ll,the patented Over ll Protector chutedirects the spill into the ContainmentChamber. The chamber is largeenough to contain a spill of at least20% of the tank’s storage volume. Thecollected product can be recovered bypumping it back to the primary tank,or to another storage tank, through thepump-out tting located on the top ofthe tank. Since the entire OP Tank is ULlisted for ammable and combustibleliquid storage, the Over ll Protector andContainment Chamber do not need tobe cleaned or freed from vaporsafter pump-out.

OP Tank OptionsThe OP Tank is available as a UL-2085Fireguard ® tank or as a standard singleor double-wall UL-142 ® horizontal tank.In addition to our standard features andoptions, we can also supply a larger(above 20%) Containment Chamber ifgreater spill containment is required.

Highland Tank underground steel tanks provide superior structural strength,product compatibility and durability. They are designed to withstand the rigors ofthe underground environment and are serviceable for storage of a wide range ofpetroleum products and other hazardous liquids. All of our tanks meet or exceedthe United States Environmental Protection Agency’s regulations for undergroundstorage of petroleum and chemical products.

Steel storage tanks have been shownto be satisfactory for storing 100%ethanol and E-blend gasoline. Steeltanks have been used to store alcoholsfor more than 50 years withoutdocumented compatibility problems.



Superior Tanks for a Tough Environment

The HighGuard features a strongdielectric coating of high solidspolyurethane for protection even underthe most dif cult conditions. HighGuardresists surface damage due to impactor abrasion that may occur duringtransportation, rigging and installation.

In fact, HighGuard undergroundstorage tanks are so tough they requireno cathodic protection or expensive

corrosion monitoring. They out-performberglass-reinforced polyester (FRP)clad tanks and require absolutely noarti cial reinforcement.

HighGuard is superior in strengthand rugged in appearance. Aftermanufacturing and rigorous testing,the tank’s exterior surfaces arecommercially blasted with steel grit inpreparation for coating.

The HighGuard protective coatingis a dense, solvent-free, tar-free,two component polyurethanecoating system with high impactproperties and tensile strength. Thecoating is spray-applied with specialequipment that ensures an evenapplication of 75 mils over the entiresurface of the tank. The nished tankis quality checked by a 15,000-volt

spark test to ensure coating integrityand effective corrosion protection thatcan be measured in decades, ratherthan years.

The HotShot is the most innovativeheated product storage tank system inthe industry. The HotShot is designedspeci cally for the safe storage ofheavy residual fuel oils (RFO), such asNo. 6 fuel oil. Since No. 6 fuel oil is sothick and viscous, users heat the oilto over 150 degrees Fahrenheit beforeburning it. Due to the complexity ofstoring the heated fuel, RFO usersmust be on constant guard against theenvironmental hazards brought aboutby faulty storage tanks.

The HotShot design and construction ismulti-layered for optimum performanceand safety. We begin with a steelstorage tank designed and constructedin accordance with UL-58 standardsand certi cations, as well as tocustomer speci ed design criteria. Thetank surfaces are protected againstcorrosion with a rmly bonded, damageresistant coating. An industrial high-temperature, two-part catalyzed interiorcoating is applied over a grit blast formaximum interior surface protection.

Additionally, a high temperatureresistive exterior coating, coupled witha pre-engineered cathodic protectionsystem, creates a dependable dielectricbarrier between the tank and theunderground environment.

Deadmen Anchors are beams ofreinforced concrete placed alongsidethe tank in the bottom of theexcavation. The weight of the back llon the Deadmen Anchors provides

additional resistance to buoyancyforces acting on the tank. Properlyinstalled Deadmen Anchors, whenused exclusively with PolyesterHold-Down Straps and the suppliedhardware, prevent tank otation andcost less than a concrete bottomhold-down pad. Best of all, there is nodelivery charge for Concrete Deadmen

Anchors when they are shipped onthe same truck along with a Highland

storage tank.

Steel Hold-Down StrapsThis guide provides information aboutSteel hold-down straps manufacturedspeci cally by Highland Tank. Theguide references dimensions ofstandard underground tanks. Also

referenced are hold-down strapspeci cations, recommended quantity,spacing and anchor bolt requirements.Contractor-supplied anchor bolt sizesmust be in accordance with this guidefor proper t and system performance.

This guide is intended only as an aid toprofessional engineers. Highland Tankrecommends that underground storagetank anchorage systems be designedby a licensed professional engineer.

A. Steel Hold-Down StrapsSteel hold-down straps aremanufactured from mild-carbon steelwith an adjustable turnbuckle andangle clip on each end for securingtanks in place. Neoprene rubber linersare supplied for electrical isolation andcoating protection. Standard straps aresized so that when the turnbuckles arecompletely closed, there will be six (6")

inches between the anchor pad andthe tank bottom. Turnbuckles canbe opened to allow up to twelve (12")inches of clearance.

B. Safety Hold-Down StrapsSafety hold-down straps are designedto avoid having installation personnelin the excavation during tankplacement. They are manufactured intwo pieces and shipped connected

with a threaded tie rod at top center.These straps are designed to beinstalled before placing the tank inthe excavation. By loosening the tierod, the two pieces are separated andeach rotated 90˚ to 180˚ away fromtheir original position. After the tank ispositioned, the strap’s sides are rotatedback toward each other and tightenedover the tank with the tie rod and nuts. Due to shipping restraints, safety straps are required for tanks with a diameter of 10' or greater.
