US CHEMICAL STORAGE SOLUTIONS FOR THE
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
Stop waiting on stick built construction
Traditional contsturction can involve multiple trades, lengthy permitting, and prolonged activity inside an operational plant.
Don’t make your EHS team become the building-code expert
Bring the chemical, process, and site requirements; but let an experienced engineering team help translate those requirements into the building and options package.
Don’t force your process into a box
Chemical plants have different materials, segregation requirments, temperatures, ventilation requirements, container types, workflows, and site constraints. We’ve worked with the largest chemical companies in the world to create one-of-a-kind buildings. But we also offer standardized designs engineered specifically with the chemical industry in mind.
Your facility is growing. That is great news. However, the headaches of site-built chemical storage can be disruptive to your business goals. US Chemical Storage designs pre-engineered and fully customizable storage buildings around your chemicals, processes, site constraints, and regulatory requirements.

Why Hurricane Preparedness
Must Be a Strategic Priority
for All Manufacturing Facilities
As climate patterns evolve, extreme weather events are becoming not only more frequent—but also more unpredictable.
For EHS professionals, procurement leads, and plant or project managers across manufacturing, chemical, aerospace, and energy sectors, this trend has serious implications.

Our Signature Products
FIRE-RATED BUILDINGS
Fire-rated hazmat storage buildings safely manage risks when storing the most dangerous flammable and hazardous chemicals. With 2-hour or 4-hour construction available, they can offer all the protection required.
NON-FIRE RATED BUILDINGS
All U.S. Chemical Storage non-fire rated hazmat buildings are perfect when the chemicals don’t require a fire rating, or you have space to distance the hazards from your people and property.
CHEMICAL LOCKERS
U.S. Chemical Storage engineers outdoor storage lockers with sumps to provide a quick, safe, and compliant solution to drum storage for 2 drums – to 16 drums.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chemical facilities commonly store flammable and combustible liquids, corrosives, compressed gases, and wastes.
Each requires specific storage conditions, including ventilation, fire protection, and secondary containment to remain compliant.
Considerations for your material handling is engineered into every building we ship, with racking, ramps, doors, and safety equipment that allow the building to easily enhance your day-to-day operaions.
For specifics about your particular need, grab your SDS and reach out to us!
Fire-rated storage is often required when storing flammable or combustible liquids, especially in larger quantities. The exact requirement depends on chemical type, volume, and local fire codes. Your Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) can let you know the expectation.
Compliance requires aligning with OSHA, NFPA, EPA, and local AHJ regulations. This includes proper chemical segregation, ventilation, spill containment, labeling, and use of engineered storage solutions designed for hazardous materials.
We certainly can create multi-room buildings with segregated spaces that are separately climate-controlled, have different spill containment liners or capacities, unique vapor or leak sensors, infrared sensors, security entrances, lighting, and more.
The right solution depends on the type and volume of chemicals, required fire rating, ventilation needs, and facility layout. Working with a manufacturer that offers consultative design ensures compliance and operational efficiency.
When you’re first speaking with one of our experienced sales reps, they’ll walk you through the process. Generally, you’ll want to look at your Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to determine the type of chemical you’re storing and any storage requirements listed.
There are three main questions you should answer before engineering or design can begin a quote on a building:
- + WHAT is to be stored?
- + HOW MUCH of it is being stored?
- + WHERE is the location it will be stored?
You will eventually need to consult with your local “Authority Having Jurisdiction” (AHJ) – usually your local code expert or fire marshal – to determine your area’s specific storage building requirements. So you want to be sure who that is in your area.
Our team at U.S. Chemical Storage has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and resources to help analyze your storage needs. Ultimately, the final approval is made by the local AHJ, so you will need to ask them about your requirements fairly early in the planning process.
