Secondary Containment

Secondary Containment requirements are coming under greater scrutiny from local and federal regulatory agencies. RCRA enforcement has increased significantly over the last few years, whether driven by rain or produced by the plant, all contaminants must be contained and treated on site as industrial wastewater. A porous, cracked or moving structure presents numerous challenges due to the wide variation of concrete types used in each type of application. In some cases, you may be dealing with sub-soil movement dynamics creating cracks versus shrinkage cracks that are commonly seen after new construction. Chemical erosion and attack creates challenges to not only rehabilitate damaged areas but to provide solutions to protect these areas from future exposure. Expansion and control joints can also create service life issues depending on climate or geographic location – such as a seismic zone or northern climates that see temperature extremes. Armor has the experience and knowledge to provide solutions to protect secondary containment structures.
