If you decide you want an above the ground LPG tank then it will need a secure concrete base for it to be housed on and a trench leading from the tank to the property for the necessary pipework. There are regulations about where you can install a tank, therefore, you should always use a qualified and LPG gas safe registered engineer who will have the knowledge and expertise on the regulations. You should always consider LPG delivery vehicle access and ensure the tanker is able to park within 25m of the valve to your storage tank.
There should also be enough space around the tank to provide adequate airflow and this ensures if there is a leak then the LPG cannot build up which can cause an explosion. When the tank is in place the area needs to be kept completely clear to ensure it is always safe. Larger tanks will need more room around it and Total Boiler LPG experts will advise you of this and ensure their plan reflects the regulations.
Storage tanks can be unsightly but you can screen them off from view, however, the screen has to be a minimum of 1 metre away from the tank and on one side only and need to be constructed of non-flammable material.
If you have enough space and can install your tank underground then the lid of the tank needs to be at ground level to ensure there is suitable access to refill it. If the area you are in is prone to floods, the soil is high in clay or water-rich, there are water or electricity cables passing through the area then an underground tank will not be suitable for the site.
