FEMA: LCV Fuel Storage System
In An Emergency...Emergency Power Won’t Be A Concern For FEMA, Berryville
FEMA
Logistics center in Berryville, VA is one of 8 centers within the
continental US designed to support first responders with equipment
needed to manage an emergency situation as well as providing
life-saving and life-sustaining resources for disaster victims. For
employees at FEMA, Berryville, having safe and reliable emergency
power and boiler fueling systems to support these operations is
absolutely vital.
For
maximum security FEMA chose to use an innovative vault (LCV) to
house their emergency power and boiler fueling tanks. The Liquid
Containment Vault (LCV) is a unique a concrete sectional vault
created from specially formulated concrete mix, factory poured in
two parts that encompasses a steel tank. LCV systems offer
uncompromising protection to soil and groundwater, corrosion, rising
water tables and even the sudden trauma of earthquake activity or an
external explosion. Because the storage tanks are located within a
vault that allows for easy accessibility and visual inspection by
your personnel, they may be classified by the EPA as Aboveground
Storage Tanks (AST) even though they are located at or belowgrade.
FEMA issued Core Engineered Solutions a BPA (blanket purchase
agreement) for 11 task orders (encompasing 22 tanks) to replace
existing UST’s with the more secure LCV systems. In addition, Core
provided FEMA with another four 15,000 Gallon LCV systems purchased
through a private contractor.
