Double bottom tanks offer strong leak detection advantages. By incorporating the use of vacuum detection between the two bottoms, the tank bottoms can be verified leak free after construction and during use. Using vacuum leak detection requires special considerations. In 1992, a tank construction company built 10 tanks for an oil company in Ponca City, Oklahoma. Each of these tanks were built with a double bottom. This article provides insight into the planning, construction, and testing of this type of double bottom design.
