Carlson Erie manufactures above ground storage tanks, but not underground storage tanks. There are many advantages of above ground storage tanks versus underground storage tanks. Above ground storage tanks are much less expensive to construct and install while also involving lower pollution insurance premiums due to the decreased risk of groundwater contamination.
With above ground tanks, there is no need for excavation or special backfull materials. They are also easier to repair because visual inspection is is possible for a more reliable leak detection. Since they are subject to less regulatory requirements, there have low maintenance and record-keeping costs.
