Featuring a completely augerless design, the Westeel Zero Ground Disturbance Secondary Containment System uses exterior above-ground braces that are attached to the walls. Because the system requires no auger to drill post holes, Zero Ground is perfect for installation at remote sites and on frozen ground.
Zero Ground Disturbance® System
A Dramatic Step Forward Over Traditional Secondary Containment Systems
MORE ECONOMICAL
Less expensive to install, less costly to maintain and much more durable than concrete or earthen containment systems, C-Ring® is the clear choice when short and long term value is important.
MORE OPTIONS
C-Ring® now offers you the option of zero ground disturbance mounting systems, as well as the original “easy-lock” heavy duty support posts. Concrete foundation mounting braces are also available.
MORE DURABLE
Heavy duty G115 galvanized steel construction and superior quality components allow C-Ring® to withstand the harshest environmental conditions and provide excellent corrosion resistance.
EASIER TO INSTALL
Simple modular design bolts together easily and requires less time to install than traditional containment systems.
EXCEEDS ALL ENVIRONMENTAL GUIDELINES
Professionally engineered to exceed today’s strict environmental guidelines and regulations (meets G55 environmental code), C-Ring® delivers your best long term insurance against primary containment leaks or failure.
EXPANDABLE DESIGN
Modular design permits C-Ring® to be enlarged or contracted after initial installation, allowing size to be adjusted as capacity is added or subtracted from a storage site.
MORE DEPENDABLE
Virtually maintenance free, C-Ring® won’t wash away like earthen berms or crack, like concrete containment systems when exposed to repeated thawing and freezing.
COMPLETELY REUSABLE
C-Ring® can be dismantled and moved from site to site – a significant cost advantage over permanent concrete and earthen containment systems. Note: The liner may not be reusable
MORE EFFICIENT USE OF SPACE
C-Ring® requires less space than concrete or earthen containment systems, making it the right choice at space restricted sites where efficient use of land is a concern.
EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE
C-Ring® containment systems can be configured in round, oblong, square and rectangular patterns for both single and multiple tank sites. When our standard configurations do not suit your application, custom configurations are also available. Pony or separation walls within a containment cell can be added to separate tanks that may require different liner due to contents.
