Abstract (en)

An outer protection and secondary containment system for an underground cylindrical metal tank (1) for liquid hydrocarbons comprising two identical half shells (9,10) in plastics, having a generically cylindrical wall closed at one end by a cap (11,12), the half shells being force-fitted on the cylinder of the tank (1) so as to mutually couple with two flanges (13,14) formed at their open end, the cylindrical wall being provided with projections (45), extending inwardly or with bellows-like corrugations so as to form a space between the half shells and the tank, with spacing and coupling between the half shells (9,10), at one side and the tank (1) at the other, ensured by said projections (45) or said bellows-like corrugations (17,19). <IMAGE>
