LCV Fuel Storage System
Major East Coast C-Store Gets the "Green Light" with Approval of Unique Underground Fuel Storage System
Turkey Hill had a problem with their
newest C-Store location. Blasts from a nearby Quarry combined with
the close proximity to a protected watershed caused enough concern
with local officials that they would not allow fiberglass
underground tanks on the property. For Turkey Hill the solution was
an innovative Liquid Containment Vault (LCV) system. This unique
concrete seamless sectional vault offers uncompromising
environmental protection to soil and groundwater, resists corrosion
and rising water tables and even the sudden trauma of earthquake
activity.
The vault incorporates a specially
formulated concrete mix, factory poured in two parts that
encompasses a steel tank. Because the storage tanks are located
within a vault that allows for easy accessibility and visual
inspection by your personnel, they are classified by the EPA, NFPA
and IFC fire codes as Aboveground Storage Tanks (AST) even though
they are located at or belowgrade. Core’s integrated solution
included two 15,000 gallon split tank UL 2245 LCV systems as well as
design, drawings and installation assistance. Core’s unique solution
allowed Turkey Hill to complete the construction of the C-Store
without compromising the township or it’s surrounding watershed.
