For facilities in Singapore handling petrol, diesel, or other flammable liquids, the underground fuel storage tank is a critical safety system. Choosing the right tank is not only about durability—it’s about compliance with SCDF, SS 532, and international UL standards. The gold standard today is a UL certified, double wall, FRP tank.

1. UL Certification – Built for Safety and Compliance

UL (Underwriters Laboratories) standards are globally recognized for fuel storage safety. In Singapore, compliance with UL 1316 (FRP tanks) and UL 58 / UL 1746 (steel tanks with FRP jackets) is critical. For fire-rated protection, UL 2085 Fireguard tanks are often required.

• Meets SS 532 Code of Practice for the storage of petroleum and flammable liquids.
• Ensures smooth approval for SCDF P&FM licenses.
• Provides assurance for insurance and authority inspections.

2. Double Wall – Extra Protection Against Leaks

A double wall underground fuel storage tank creates an interstitial space between two layers, enabling leak detection and secondary containment.

• Leak monitoring – Early detection prevents costly contamination incidents.
• Groundwater protection – Reduces environmental liability risks.
• Regulatory compliance – SCDF requires robust containment measures for underground storage.

3. FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) – Durable, Lightweight, Corrosion-Free

FRP tanks have become the preferred material in Singapore’s industrial facilities for several reasons:

• Outstanding corrosion resistance in aggressive soils and marine conditions.
• Lightweight design – easier and faster to install than steel tanks.
• Durability – resistant to ground shifts and external stress, ensuring long-term reliability.

Applications Across Process Plants

UL certified FRP underground tanks are widely used in:

• Backup generator fuel storage in manufacturing plants
• Petrol and diesel storage for chemical and food industries
• Fuel systems in energy and water treatment facilities
