Construction | Form: (02A ) 401084154 6/27/2017 | Rule 603.h.(1)C./ Rule 603.h.(2)C. Extraction will install an engineered containment system around the tank battery. The containment system is constructed of a perimeter of walls that are post driven into the ground around a flexible geotextile base. All components are then sprayed with a polyurea liner technology. This liner technology maintains impermeability and puncture resistance under exposure to UV rays, weather extremes, and chemicals commonly encountered in oil and natural gas production, and provides seamless protection. In addition to the engineered containment system, Extraction will install bollards on the upstream end of the tank battery as an added safety measure. The bollards will provide added protection to the tank battery in the event of a flood in which objects and debris may be floating downstream. The bollards will be constructed of steel pipe filled with concrete and will protect the containment system from being struck and compromised by floating debris. |
