Containment Pans

Southern Tank offers a range of steel containment pans designed to provide an added layer of spill protection beneath aboveground storage tanks. Built to the same high standards as our double wall tanks, these containment pans are an ideal safeguard against incidental drips, leaks, or hose failures, helping you stay compliant with EPA regulations and maintain a cleaner, safer storage area.

Why Choose a Containment Pan?

Containment pans act as a compact secondary containment solution, capturing fuel or chemical leaks before they pose a safety or environmental risk. They are especially beneficial for locations where impoundment berms may not be feasible or where added protection is required around smaller tanks and day tanks. The containment pan allows for not only secondary containment, but for monitoring, and recovery of product. Containment pans are often used in conjunction with a double wall tank when tertiary containment is required or desired.

Containment pans are commonly used with:

• Day tanks and skid-mounted tanks
• Generator fuel supply tanks
• Lube and waste oil storage tanks
• Chemical dosing systems
• Remote fill locations
• Temporary fueling setups
