Maximum focus on environmental safety and regulatory compliance

Overview of WHG standards

The WHG standards (Wasserhaushaltsgesetz), established by German federal legislation for the protection of water resources, represent a key reference for the construction of tanks intended for the storage of hazardous substances.
Steeltech, based in Corato, thanks to its experience and technical expertise, is able to design and manufacture stainless steel tanks fully compliant with WHG requirements, ensuring maximum protection of water resources and the environment.

What it means to build according to WHG standards

To guarantee full compliance with WHG requirements, Steeltech integrates into its tanks:

  • High-quality materials: use of corrosion-resistant stainless steels.

  • Overfill prevention systems: devices to prevent exceeding maximum levels.

  • Leak prevention: double-wall configurations and advanced sealing systems.

  • Detection systems: active monitoring devices for leaks.

  • Structural robustness: resistance to impacts, stresses, and temperature variations.

  • Testing and inspection plans: pressure, tightness, and material integrity tests.

  • Periodic inspections: five-year inspections by notified bodies.

  • Document traceability: complete technical documentation for each production phase.
