Safe Storage Built for Liquid Chemicals

Turnkey Contracting by Gillan builds liquid and ag chemical facilities in Illinois Valley that meet containment and safety requirements.

When you store liquid chemicals or agricultural products in Illinois Valley, containment and compliance are not optional. Your facility needs to prevent spills, protect groundwater, and meet regulatory standards while supporting daily loading and distribution tasks. Turnkey Contracting by Gillan builds chemical storage facilities that address these requirements with corrosion-resistant materials and engineered containment systems.

We construct facilities with secondary containment, proper ventilation, and code-compliant layouts that allow safe access for equipment and personnel. Each building is designed to handle the corrosive nature of liquid fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides over years of use. You get a structure built to industry standards with materials selected for durability and environmental protection.

What Goes Into a Code-Compliant Chemical Building

Your facility starts with a site assessment and design that accounts for load zones, drainage, and containment requirements in Spring Valley. We build with steel framing, epoxy-coated floors, and secondary containment basins that capture spills before they reach soil or water. Ventilation systems are installed to manage fumes, and access points are positioned to support truck loading without creating bottlenecks.

After construction, you will notice clear separation between storage areas and work zones, containment walls that direct any spills into collection points, and flooring that resists chemical damage. Your team can move product safely, and inspectors will find a facility built to current environmental and safety codes.

We use materials rated for chemical exposure, including stainless steel hardware and sealed concrete. Fire-rated walls and emergency shutoff systems are integrated where required. The building does not include office space or climate control unless specified, and layouts are customized based on the volume and type of chemicals you handle.

What You Should Know Before Starting Construction

Building a chemical facility requires planning around regulations, site conditions, and operational flow, so these questions address the details that come up before construction begins.

What makes a chemical facility code-compliant?
Your facility must include secondary containment, proper ventilation, fire-rated construction where applicable, and spill prevention systems that meet state and federal environmental standards. We design and build to those requirements from the start.
How long does construction take?
Most liquid chemical facilities take between eight and fourteen weeks to complete, depending on size, site preparation, and permitting timelines. We provide a project schedule after reviewing your site and design specifications.
What materials are used for containment systems?
We use sealed concrete floors with epoxy coatings, steel containment curbs, and corrosion-resistant liners. These materials prevent leaks and hold up under prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals.
When is a separate loading area needed?
You need a dedicated loading zone if your operation involves frequent truck deliveries or transfers between storage and application equipment. We can design the layout to separate loading from storage and reduce congestion.
What site conditions affect construction?
Soil type, drainage patterns, and proximity to wells or waterways all influence foundation design and containment planning. We evaluate these factors during the site assessment to ensure compliance and long-term stability.

Turnkey Contracting by Gillan has built chemical storage facilities across agricultural and commercial operations in Spring Valley, and we know what it takes to meet both safety codes and operational demands.
