Custom Hazardous Material Storage: Ensuring Safety and Compliance for a National Defense Initiative
When a long-standing client in the United States began expanding their new facility, they faced a critical challenge: safely storing and managing highly flammable pretreatment chemicals while adhering to strict national and international building codes. With a national defence contract, they required a partner capable of delivering a customized solution that prioritized safety, durability, and regulatory compliance.
Relying on DENIOS’ expertise in hazardous material storage, we developed a bespoke, movable building solution tailored to their specific requirements. Our design streamlined compliance, enhanced safety, and provided the client with the reliability and efficiency needed to maintain peace of mind throughout their operations.
Custom Hazardous Material Storage for a National Defense Project
Client Overview
A long-term chemical industry client planned to expand operations with a new plant tied to a national defense contract. They required a dependable, code-compliant solution for storing pretreatment chemicals and highly flammable substances while supporting paint pumping operations. The project demanded a customized hazardous material storage building to handle temperature-sensitive materials and meet stringent OSHA, EPA, and NFPA standards.
Challenge
While initially considering on-site construction, the client opted for a DENIOS solution due to its portability, safety, and adherence to regulatory codes. Their key priorities included:
A storage and pumping room designed for flammable chemicals.
Temperature-controlled walk-in enclosures with rack-mounted storage.
Full compliance with OSHA, EPA, and NFPA standards.
A tight timeline to coincide with the plant expansion.
Proximity to the main facility for enhanced operational efficiency.
The building also needed to meet state and local certification requirements.
DENIOS' Customized Solution for Hazardous Material Storage
DENIOS provided a fully customized hazardous material storage building tailored to the client’s specific requirements. Key features included:
Expanded Size: The original design was updated to a 50-foot structure to accommodate operational needs.
Enhanced Durability: A severe-duty paint system with multiple layers was applied to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
Advanced Safety Features: Explosion-proof AC units and heaters ensured safe temperature regulation while continuously running fans and maintaining proper airflow. The sloped roof design allowed efficient water drainage.
Custom Modifications: Hinged doors provided superior temperature control compared to roll-up doors, and the 4-hour fire-rated construction enabled placement near existing structures without additional setbacks.
