\r\n\r\nQuicklink to section:\r\nRELATED ARTICLE: 5 Steps to Choosing a Proper Chemical Storage Building<\/a><\/p>\r\nPrefabricated chemical storage buildings from U.S. Chemical Storage are an ideal solution for meeting federal, state, and local safety codes. Using customizable building designs, we\u2019re able to meet the requirements for construction by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).\r\n RELATED ARTICLE: Chemical Storage Inventory<\/a><\/p>\r\nStoring chemicals at their proper temperature will protect against fires and help them function as expected. High temperatures cause certain chemicals to become unstable or form vapors. For other chemicals, low temperatures can cause freezing or changes in its properties. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) of all chemicals to understand their specific storage hazards and recommended temperatures.\r\n\r\n RELATED ARTICLE: Why Climate Control is Important in Chemical Storage Buildings<\/a><\/p>\r\nU.S. Chemical Storage\u2019s prefabricated chemical storage buildings can be installed across the country, in all different types of climates. Our buildings feature weather-resistant construction and can withstand a minimum snow load of 40 pounds per square foot. Buildings can also be rated for seismic zones to meet seismic requirements as needed. U.S. Chemical Storage\u2019s 2-hour fire-rated FireLoc\u2122<\/a> and 4-hour fire-rated SuperLoc\u2122<\/a> flammable liquid storage buildings feature an innovative wall-design that can handle a wind load of at least 120 m.p.h. per ASCE-7-10.\r\nCustomizable Chemical Storage Buildings for Every Type of Climate, in Every State<\/h2>\r\nInventory control<\/a> plays a huge factor in how volatile chemical storage is maintained. This can include a variety of handling and storing procedures, such as identification, segregation, ignition control, ventilation, and\u202ftemperature control.\r\n

\r\n\r\nWithin regions of the country where extreme heat is the normal, our team can meet cooling system<\/a> requirements. In extremely frigid climates, heating systems<\/a> are available to make sure your chemicals are stored compliantly.\r\n\r\nTemperature controlled combustible storage buildings are designed to store hazardous materials<\/a> at specific temperature ranges. Temperature control accessories include air conditioners and refrigeration units, as well as heating components such as forced air or convection heaters. Explosion proof accessories<\/a> may be necessary for certain types of chemical classes.\r\nDifferent Types of Chemical Storage Buildings that Meet State Regulations<\/h2>\r\nYour\u202fhazmat storage building\u202fshould be designed to address hazards associated with your chemical material. Our fully customizable buildings make it easy for you. Our wide array of accessories are designed to be compliant with the highest safety standards to maintain your hazmat storage security and create a safe storage environment.\r\n\r\nSee below for common hazmat storage building applications.\r\n

\r\nStorage for Flammable Chemicals<\/h3>\r\nSegregate\u202fflammable materials from oxidizers and other incompatible materials to avoid dangerous chemical reactions. Depending on the location of the storage building, fire-rated construction<\/a> may be required for increased protection. Proper signage can alert personnel and visitors of the fire hazard. Keep sources of ignition away from your flammable storage.\r\n\r\nLearn More about Fire-Rated Storage Buildings for Flammable Chemicals<\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n

\r\nStorage for Corrosive Chemicals<\/h3>\r\nCorrosives are classified as either caustic or acidic materials that can burn or destroy human tissue and metal structures. Corrosive storage buildings can be designed to compliantly store corrosive materials, while keeping personnel safe. If the corrosive produces toxic or corrosive fumes, mechanical ventilation<\/a> can reduce the amount of vapors present within the building. This allows workers to access fresh air and move around the space without the risk of inhaling dangerous vapors. Some corrosive chemicals may require climate-controlled options<\/a> to maintain a specific temperature range. In case of a chemical splash, personal safety accessories such as eyewash and shower stations<\/a> should allow personnel to quickly rinse hazardous materials from the skin, eyes and face.\r\n

\r\nStorage for Chemicals with Deflagration Hazards<\/h3>\r\nGenerally, the buildup of vapors from Class IA and IB Flammables are at risk for explosions. Customize hazmat storage buildings with deflagration prevention systems (ex: NFPA 69) or explosion relief construction<\/a> to reduce these dangers. The explosion relief panels will vent and release heat and pressure outside if internal building pressure rises above 20 psf.\r\n\r\nLearn More about Explosion Relief Panels <\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n

\r\nStorage for Pesticides<\/h3>\r\nPesticide storage<\/a> should adhere to federal, state, and local regulations for total safety. Non-compliant storage may result in heavy fines. Preventing pesticides from entering water sources, including groundwater, is essential for the health of the wildlife and community. Our pesticide storage buildings feature continuously welded, leak-tested sumps for spill containment<\/a>. All buildings are customizable and designed to house small or large quantities of pesticides.\r\n\r\n \r\n
Customized Chemical Storage that Meets State Codes<\/h2>\r\nFlammables and non-flammable chemicals have different chemical storage regulations, and there are standards to prevent dangerous chemical reactions. But for many, navigating the rules and codes to ensure compliant storage is daunting. That\u2019s where the experts at U.S. Chemical Storage come in.\r\n\r\nOur dedicated and experienced engineers are devoted to helping you design a chemical storage building that suits your needs while maintaining the safest environment for your personnel. We also focus on compliance, so you can rest assured that your new chemical storage building meets federal, state, and local safety standards for any hazardous materials.\r\n
