underground storage tanks

Underground storage tanks (USTs) are large containers buried below the ground used to store substances like gasoline, diesel, or chemicals. They are commonly found at gas stations or industrial sites. USTs help keep these liquids safely contained and away from the environment. To prevent leaks and contamination, they are made of durable materials and often have monitoring systems. If a leak occurs, it can threaten soil and groundwater, so regulatory agencies require regular inspections and maintenance to ensure their integrity. Properly managed USTs are essential for environmental protection and safe fuel or chemical storage.
