Maple Grove Featured in Tank Storage Magazine
Ted Hobin, Jr., VP of Maple Grove Enterprises was interviewed recently for an article in Tank Storage magazine from the United Kingdom.
Deputy editor Luke Buxton sought out Hobin for his expertise on secondary containment for the article, entitled "The Second Line of Defence," in the February 2008 issue of the journal.
Secondary containment is an enclosed area around a primary containment tank holding oil or related products. If the primary containment fails, secondary containment must contain the leaks to prevent environmental consequences that kill wildlife, pollute water and spoil agricultural land.
Maple Grove Enterprises has been installing and repairing secondary containment systems for over five years. Methods of containment include impermeable dike walls, dirt berms, or galvanized steel walls erected around the primary containment to contain 110% of the tank capacity. According to Hobin, "The DEC has increased its workforce and is starting to do more visual inspections of secondary containment in petrochemical storage" and it is up to companies such as Maple Grove to make sure that the containment is secure.
Maple Grove Enterprises provides both primary and secondary containment services, as well as custom metal fabrication, millwrighting, welding, sandblasting, industrial coating, and industrial floor coatings.

They coated the inside of the table with chemical-resistant coating and applied a urethane coating on the exterior. The table was then shipped to Klein Steel.
