FiREGUARD™ is the New Generation of fire-rated ASTs, going far beyond those "first generation" tanks which were merely enclosed in concrete.
  • Fireguard™ was the first AST of its design to obtain a UL listing for secondary containment.
  • Fireguard™'s secondary containment can be tightness tested on-site with standard testing procedures!
  • Fireguard™'s exterior steel wall provides superior weatherability and low-cost maintenance. Unlike concrete, cracking or spalling will never be a problem!
  • Fireguard™'s unique thermal insulating material is 75% lighter than concrete. . . shipping cost, installation and relocation costs are reduced!
  • The Fireguard™ technology is patented under U.S. Patent #5695089 and #5809650 for "lightweight Double Wall Storage Tank."
  • Fireguard™ is UL approved core component for the 2244 system listing.
UL 2244 systems listing includes core components (Fireguard™) and optional equipment for vehicle fueling, motor oil storage and generator base tanks (Call for information on airport fueling systems)

Is Your Aboveground Tank Everything It's Cracked Up To Be?
Fireguard™                      vs.                     Concrete Encased
  • Secondary containment is testable on-site using standard, economical testing procedures.
  • Fireguard™'s steel outer wall provides low-cost maintenance and protects the insulation material from weathering.
  • An average 12,000 gallon Fireguard™ weighs under 30,000 pounds - well within the legal load limit for trucking.
  • 30-year warranty is standard with every Fireguard™.
  • The secondary containment on certain designs may require elaborate and expensive procedures to be tested on-site.
  • exposed concrete outer wall is susceptible to cracking, spalling and weathering - problems that are expensive to correct and are usually not covered by warranty.
  • An average 12,000 gallon concrete-encased tank weighs upwards of 100,000 pounds - imagine the hassles involved in handling that tank.
  • Some manufacturers may charge extra for a 30-year warranty.
