Is a site review necessary for all fuel tank installations?

A site review is necessary for all fuel tank installations to ensure the safety and compliance of the installation with regulations and best practices. Conducting a thorough site review allows the installer to assess the specific conditions of the location, including soil type, groundwater levels, accessibility, and proximity to structures and surfaces that could impact both safety and regulatory adherence. This assessment helps identify potential hazards or issues that could arise during or after the installation, such as leaks or environmental contamination.

Moreover, site reviews are essential for planning proper tank placement, ensuring adequate spacing from other installations, and complying with local zoning and environmental protection laws. By conducting a site review for every installation, it ensures that appropriate measures are implemented to minimize risks and protect public safety and the environment.
