Fuel & Chemical Containment
Protecting your site, your people, and the environment isn’t optional—it’s foundational. Seven Sons Construction designs and builds fuel and chemical containment systems that keep your operation compliant, resilient, and ready for the long haul.
Why containment matters
Fuel and chemicals are the lifeblood of many industrial and commercial operations—but they’re also a major source of risk.
- Environmental protection: Prevent leaks and spills from contaminating soil and groundwater.
- Regulatory compliance: Meet EPA, OSHA, and local code requirements with properly engineered containment.
- Operational continuity: Avoid shutdowns, fines, and cleanup costs caused by preventable incidents.
- Reputation & community trust: Show your customers and neighbors that you take safety seriously.
Seven Sons Construction brings together structural concrete expertise and practical field experience to build containment solutions that work in the real world—not just on paper.
Our fuel & chemical containment services
Engineered containment structures
We design and construct containment systems tailored to your specific fuels, chemicals, and site conditions.
- Concrete containment pits & basins for tanks, pumps, and process equipment
- Secondary containment walls around above-ground storage tanks (ASTs)
- Sumps and collection trenches for controlled drainage and spill capture
- Equipment pads and foundations designed to resist chemical exposure and heavy loads
Every structure is built for durability, ease of maintenance, and long-term performance.
Secondary containment for tanks & equipment
Fuel and chemical storage demands more than just a slab.
- Tank containment for diesel, gasoline, oils, and industrial chemicals
- Double-wall and dike systems to provide redundant protection
- Spill containment for loading/unloading areas (truck fill stations, rail, and transfer points)
- Custom solutions for irregular layouts, tight sites, and existing facilities
We coordinate with your tank supplier, engineer, and safety team to ensure the entire system works together.
Chemical-resistant concrete solutions
Not all concrete is created equal—especially around aggressive chemicals.
- Specialized mix designs for chemical resistance and reduced permeability
- Protective coatings and liners to extend service life and simplify cleanup
- Joint detailing and sealing to minimize leak paths
- Reinforcement and anchoring designed for thermal, mechanical, and chemical stresses
Our goal is simple: build containment that holds up under real operating conditions.
Drainage, control, and access
Good containment doesn’t just hold a spill—it helps you manage it.
- Integrated drainage slopes to direct spills to sumps or collection points
- Sumps designed for pump-out and safe removal of captured liquids
- Access points and platforms for safe inspection, sampling, and maintenance
- Clear separation of stormwater and process fluids to support compliance and reporting
We think through how your team will use the space day-to-day, not just how it looks on a drawing.
Built for compliance and peace of mind
Seven Sons Construction works closely with engineers, safety managers, and regulators to align your containment system with applicable standards and best practices.
- Code-aware construction: Built to meet or exceed project specifications and governing codes.
- Coordination with design professionals: We collaborate with your engineer of record to resolve details before they become field problems.
- Quality control: Layout, reinforcement, concrete placement, and finishing are all executed with strict attention to detail.
You get a containment system you can stand behind—because we stand behind our work.
