 The marina fuel distribution system consists of four (4) 12,000 gallon Eultron UL-142 double wall underground storage tanks with specifically designed overfill and overspill system. The anchoring of the underground storage tank was achieved by the use of dead man concrete anchors, with stainless steel wire rope, stainless steel cable clamps, and stainless steel turnbuckles. Filter Fabric was installed to prevent migration of native soils within the imported 3/8” pea rock backfill. Pearock was used to obtain a stable and self compacting tank installation.

The reinforced concrete slab is installed on grade was designed to contain any surface residuals by the use of a perimeter drain plumbed to an oil water separator.
