Underground storage tanks for chemical storage and landfill leachate collection is a very "niche" application that project owners and designers are very selective about when looking to a manufacturer. Xerxes' unparalleled experience in fabrication of underground tanks for the storage of petroleum products sets us apart from any other supplier.
Chemical storage tank applications include emergency drain collection runoff, water treatment chemical storage, airport deicing and other industrial gravity drain requirements.
Leachate storage tank applications include municipal, industrial, mining and agricultural waste landfills.
Potable water, commonly referred to as drinking water, can safely be stored underground utilizing a Xerxes potable water tank. Xerxes potable water tanks are designed and manufactured to NSF Standard 61. They are available as NSF-listed and labeled tanks, unlike many competitive products.
Xerxes tanks are commonly found in national forest facilities, state parks, campgrounds or wherever the supply of safe drinking water is limited or not available.
Features of a Xerxes potable water tank include:
Multi-compartment fiberglass storage tanks are a popular choice when storing two or three grades of fuel in a single tank within separate compartments. In many cases, these tanks provide overall savings vs. two or three separate tanks. Available in capacities up to 40,000 gallons, Xerxes multi-compartment tanks come standard with double-wall bulkheads.

Today's designs for decentralized wastewater treatment systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated and also dependent on large capacity water-tight storage and process tanks. Infiltration from a leaking tank can result in an improperly functioning system, while exfiltration causes pollution of water supplies. Xerxes tanks are the perfect alternative to pre-case or pour-in-place concrete tanks.
Features of Xerxes wastewater tanks include:
Xerxes' extensive FRP fiberglass fabrication experience has been applied to the development of custom wet wells and vertically buried basins for lift stations and adjoining valve boxes in municipal wastewater systems, as well as vertically buried basins incorporated into industrial fluid-handling equipment systems.
Capabilities include 6, 8, 10 and 12 foot diameter or greater sizes and burial depths up to 50 feet in depth. This flexibility provides customers with alternatives to concrete in a size range where limited fiberglass options have been available.
Factory-fabrication and assembly for many of the components of a complete lift station is available, reducing field hours to assemble.
This is a unique advantage for fiberglass that simply can't be matched by concrete products.
Features and benefits of these systems include:
