tank fire protectrion

[alexmurchison]

evening all.
quick qestion on fire protection for domestic oil storage tanks. new tank is going to be located in same place as old but to get it to regs needs the extra fire protection. basically along 2 sides ( width and depth ) is brick built buildings belonging to owner. a garage and outer building. so these are rated enough, but the tank is within 1.8m to the eaves. and sionce i first went to look at the job, she has had new soffits / facias all round these buildings!! anybody recommend something suitable ? all be it she will have to have a sheet of galv steel hiding her pretty new facias ??
cheers

Just clicked on the link. Look a legit product but as matt06 says a bit prices, around £700 more than I can get a standard bunded tank for! Also they are a lot bigger than the average tank, again 600-700 MM. longer , so the base in turn will be extended to suit. I best throw some options at the customer
