Solution
- Our risk management best practices are geared towards complete risk avoidance in safe handling, transport and distribution of chemicals from our tank farms to customer tanks or UBA Storage Tank System.
- We use pump off-load where 98% of the industry uses air pressure off-load, which allows safe partial load delivery and risk avoidance by not having to pressurize a tanker trailer to offload into a small customer tank.
- Partial to Full Truck load deliveries is our specialty. However UBA could effectively address the need when sometimes full truck load business requires partial loads. UBA can accommodate the customer where other suppliers cannot.
- All our products are sourced from major manufacturers to ensure quality and consistent supply to our customers.
These tanks are fabricated in steel, 316 stainless steel, fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) or modern plastics (HDPE). They can be mounted on elevated steel structures, to take advantage of trouble free gravity feed. Each tank is specifically designed for the type of chemical it will store.
The UBA chemical handling system starts with UBA's two large tank farms where liquid chemicals from leading Canadian suppliers are stored. A fleet of multi-compartmented tank trucks are owned and operated by UBA. Highly qualified drivers perform deliveries from these tank farms to customers.
Deliveries are based on two alternative plans: "as ordered" (demand), or on a "keep filled" schedule (scheduled delivery) determined by consumption rates. The latter plan is both more common and more convenient, since it means the UBA customer need never run short of supplies providing "peace of mind" delivery and supply.
