It was a formidable challenge. <br />In 1971. file mission was to design on oduanccd type of <br />durable underground storage lank - one which would with• <br />stand a wide, range of aduersc conditions. The industry <br />needed a conk /or permancest anti safe containment of - <br />hazardous and flammable materials. a tank of superior sintc• <br />tural characteristics to withstand any punishment inflicted by <br />unstable soil conditions and high stress bads. The lank had to <br />be impervious to corrosion. eucn In rigorous conditions such <br />as salt PoLs. tidelands. or coastal areas. Joor Manufacturing. <br />Inc.. Escondido.
