CONTAINMENT BY DESIGN <br /> The Owens-Corning Double-Wall Tank: <br /> Engineered for Maximum Safety <br /> Owens-Corning Fiberglas tanks have a <br /> reputation for safe containment. They <br /> have been proven in over 120,000 instal- <br /> lations over the past 20 years. <br /> Some industries, municipalities, <br /> counties and states are now specifying <br /> underground storage systems with <br /> secondary containment for maximum <br /> protection of their natural underground <br /> wate, supplies against petroleum con- Award for Achievement in Product <br /> tamination.
