Why choose Hazguard
Designed around the material being stored
Hazguard is specified around the hazardous substances being stored, the quantity involved, how the store will be accessed and the conditions of the site.
Built-in spill containment
The standard Hazguard construction incorporates a bunded floor designed to contain accidental spills and help reduce the risk to people and the surrounding environment. HazGuard
Ventilation built into the design
High- and low-level natural ventilation is incorporated into the external walls, with flame-arrester gauze and vermin guards forming part of the established specification. HazGuard
Secure hazardous-material storage
Galvanised-steel doors, multiple locking points and anti-jemmy features provide robust protection against unauthorised access.
Built for long-term durability
Galvanised steel construction provides strength, non-combustibility and resistance to corrosion for demanding storage environments.
Configure around the requirement
Different sizes, internal arrangements, linings, access systems, ventilation and electrical specifications allow Hazguard to be configured around the material and operating environment.

Hazguard Store is designed specifically for hazardous-material storage. Explore our wider Portable Spaces applications where your requirement extends beyond specialist storage.
Storage
Built around your requirements
Construction, Security & Configuration
Hazguard combines robust galvanised-steel construction with containment, ventilation and security features designed around the demands of hazardous-material storage.
Structure
Fully galvanised structural steel wall panels with integral supports.
Spill containment
A continuously welded bunded floor provides integral containment within the store.
Doors and security
Outward-opening galvanised-steel doors with heavy-duty locking and anti-jemmy security features.
Ventilation
High- and low-level natural ventilation with flame-arrester gauze and vermin protection.
Roof
Heavy-duty galvanised structural steel roof panels, mechanically interlocked, bonded and sealed.
Base
Welded steel perimeter frame supported by full-length steel skids.
Lifting and handling
Heavy-duty roof-mounted lifting points support handling and positioning.
Linking and configuration
Units can be linked side-by-side, end-to-end or side-to-end to create larger storage arrangements where required.
Finish and durability
Galvanised construction and protective external finishes provide long-term resistance to corrosion and demanding environmental conditions.
Compliance & Performance
Specified around the material and site
The appropriate Hazguard specification depends on the type and quantity of material being stored, the operating environment and the requirements applicable to the individual site.
Hazardous-material storage
Hazguard can be configured for applications including petroleum products, LPG, highly flammable liquids, industrial chemicals, paints and adhesives, acids, pesticides and other hazardous materials.
Spill containment
Bunded floor construction provides integral containment, with the required store capacity and configuration selected around the storage requirement.
Ventilation
Natural high- and low-level ventilation forms part of the established Hazguard design. Mechanical ventilation and specialist electrical provision can also be incorporated where required by the materials being stored.
Site and regulatory requirements
The location and final specification of a hazardous-material store should be considered against the requirements applicable to the materials being stored and the intended use of the site.
Where required, appropriate regulatory or approving bodies should be consulted as part of the specification process. The historic Hazguard literature explicitly recommends early engagement with the relevant authority rather than treating the product itself as a blanket compliance solution.
Configure Hazguard around your storage requirement
Hazguard can be configured around the materials being stored, required capacity, access arrangements and operating environment.
Sizes and configurations
A range of store sizes is available, with units capable of being linked to create larger storage areas
Insulation
Insulated wall and roof construction can be specified, with floor insulation also available where required.
Internal linings
Alternative wall and roof linings can be selected where specific performance requirements apply.
Raised flooring
Durbar steel or galvanised open-mesh raised flooring can be installed above the bunded floor to create a dry access area.
Doors and access
Single, double and emergency-exit door configurations can be incorporated according to the requirements of the store.
Shelving
Galvanised-steel shelving can be incorporated to support different storage arrangements.
Ramped access
Slip-resistant steel ramps can be added where trolley or wheeled access is required.
Safety signage
Appropriate fire, safety and warning signage can be incorporated around the final application.
External finish
Contract-specific colour schemes are available where required.
Quality, Safety & Assurance
Our independently assessed management systems and recognised industry standards provide customers with confidence in the quality, safety, environmental responsibility and control behind how we manufacture and deliver.
