The James Factor: Double‑Wall Specs that Don’t Leak, Warp, or Fail Audits

James matches containment path, venting/monitoring, fittings, anchors, and materials—so your tank stores clean, alarms correctly, and passes audits first time.

Factor
Berm + Single Wall
Riggins Double‑Wall Spec
Containment Path
External dike; rain/debris management
110% interstitial; clean, enclosed containment
Venting & Monitoring
Ad‑hoc vents; manual checks
Primary & interstice vents; leak port & alarm provision
Fittings / Outlets
Sidewall penetrations risk leaks
Top‑draw / UFO™‑style seals; Dualline™ restrictions respected
Anchors / Seismic / Wind
Site‑built; variable quality
Engineered anchor patterns; stamped calcs available
Materials & Temp
Generic PE; temp limits unclear
XLPE/HDPE/PP matched to chemistry; PP up to ~200°F
Docs & Audit
Mix of vendor sheets
Submittals, torque specs, startup; SPCC‑ready package
Total Impact
Built‑in compliance, clean installs, lower risk
James’ Pro‑Tip: Vent both the primary and the interstitial space. Provide a leak alarm port (dry contact). Respect Dualline™ limits (no sidewall fittings) and use UFO™‑style sealed sidewall fittings on Captor units when required.

Double‑Wall Types: Choose a System for Your Duty

Extrusion‑wound double‑wall tank with built‑in 110% containment.

Extrusion‑Wound Double Walls (PP/PE): large engineered systems up to 50,000 gal; ~200°F service when PP; extreme longevity vs. FRP/steel.

Captor® (Rotomolded XLPE): enclosed tank‑in‑tank; UFO™ sealed sidewall fittings on primary; clean interstice.

Dualline™ (Freestanding): flat‑bottom, min. 110% containment; no sidewall fittings (top‑draw kits & sight gauges available).

Day‑Tank / Compact Units: 35–1500 gal integrated containment; automatic compliance for labs/commercial.

110% Containment Leak Alarm Port Seismic/Wind Calcs NSF‑61 Options Up to 50k gal

Double‑Wall FAQ

Why choose double‑wall over a berm + single‑wall?

Double‑wall provides enclosed 110% containment without rainwater/debris management, reduces trip hazards, and often cuts install cost vs. building a dike.

How do we monitor the interstitial space?

We provide a leak alarm port with dry contact for SCADA. Routine checks are clean and visual; no standing water like berms.

Can I put sidewall fittings on all double‑walls?

Dualline™: no sidewall fittings—use top‑draw kits and reverse sight gauges. Captor®: use UFO™ sealed sidewall fittings on the primary while maintaining the interstice seal.

What resins handle my chemistry and temperature?

XLPE/HDPE cover most ambient chemical duties. PP handles hotter service up to ~200°F water and many chemicals. We’ll match resin to MSDS and duty cycle.

Can Liberty integrate pumps, skids, and monitoring?

Yes. Single‑point accountability—tanks, feed skids, transfer pumps, and SCADA‑ready controls—all spec’d by James.
