Chemical Storage

A general U.S. Chemical Storage chemical storage building.

When storing chemicals, it’s important to use the safest and most dependable chemical storage buildings there are. U.S. Chemical Storage offers many different options of lockers, buildings, and accessories to fit your needs. Each of our wide variety of chemical storage units and optional accessories are 100% customizable and meet NFPA regulations in addition to being tested by FM or Warnock Hersey. Our experienced engineers work with you throughout the process, from design to delivery, and help ensure the safety and integrity of our products while working to minimize costs to you.

Lockers, Buildings, and Accessories

While there are many types of chemicals that can be housed within our storage buildings and lockers, building types are generally broken down into two categories: fire-rated and non-fire-rated (also known as non-combustible). At U.S. Chemical Storage we offer both. These buildings are designed to safely segregate hazardous materials in a safe, secure area and each building contains a secondary containment solution in the event of spills.

FAQs

1. What is chemical storage?

It is storage designed and manufactured specifically for housing flammable, combustible or corrosive chemicals, hazardous materials (also known as ‘hazmat’), and hazardous waste. For more information, visit the Environmental Protection Agencies’ website at the following links:

2. Why is there a need for chemical storage buildings?

Chemical storage buildings are designed to store hazmat in safe, segregated, and secure areas, and to prevent or contain chemical fires or explosions, or to contain chemicals from leaking out into the environment in the event of a spill. The need is largely code-driven based on the chemical or materials being stored and the proximity to people, property, or the environment. A fire code inspector, an “Authority Having Jurisdiction” (AHJ), or Insurance Inspector could be any of the people that require the use of one of our buildings and will know the code requirements in your specific location.

3. Do I need a fire-rated building?

First consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to determine the type of chemical you’re storing and any storage requirements listed. There are two main classifications of buildings to consider: fire-rated and non-fire-rated steel buildings. There are three main questions you should answer before engineering or design can begin on your building: what is to be stored, how much of it is being stored, and where is the location it will be stored? You will also need to consult with your local “Authority Having Jurisdiction” (AHJ) or local code expert to determine your area’s specific storage building requirements. Our team at U.S. Chemical Storage has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and resources to help analyze your storage needs, but the final approval is made by the local AHJ, so you will need to ultimately ask them about your requirements early in the planning process.
