Complete Storage and Infrastructure Solutions for Water Treatment Plants
Water and wastewater treatment facilities face unique storage challenges: chemical drum containment, maintenance parts organization, regulatory document archiving, PPE management, and secure access to hazardous materials. Material Handling USA has been solving these problems for utilities like Central Utah Water Conservancy District and South Valley Water Reclamation for over 25 years.
Whether you manage a drinking water plant, wastewater reclamation facility, or water conservancy district, we design storage systems that keep your chemicals organized, your maintenance teams efficient, and your facility OSHA-compliant.
Chemical Storage & Containment
Water treatment plants store chlorine, fluoride, sodium hypochlorite, acids, and dozens of other chemicals that require OSHA-compliant containment. Our chemical storage solutions protect your staff, organize your inventory, and keep you in compliance:
- Pallet rack for chemical drums — heavy-duty systems rated for 55-gallon drum storage with proper spill containment and seismic anchoring
- Safety cabinets — flammable, corrosive, and acid storage cabinets meeting OSHA 1910.106 and NFPA 30 standards
- Security cages — wire mesh enclosures for restricted chemical access areas with lockable gates and ventilation
- Industrial shelving — heavy-duty shelving for smaller chemical containers, test reagents, and lab supplies
- Spill containment pallets — secondary containment for drums meeting EPA requirements
Modular Buildings for Water Treatment Plants
When your facility needs additional space without the timeline and cost of conventional construction, our modular buildings provide a fast, code-compliant solution. Factory-built, site-delivered, and ready to use:
- Control rooms — climate-controlled SCADA monitoring stations with electrical and data connections
- Lab additions — enclosed testing spaces with proper ventilation, plumbing, and chemical-resistant surfaces
- Administrative offices — multi-story modular office buildings with full HVAC and ADA compliance
- Guard shacks — prefabricated security structures for facility perimeter entry points
- Maintenance shops — enclosed work spaces for equipment repair, welding, and parts storage
Storage Products for Every Area of Your Treatment Plant
Employee Lockers & PPE Storage
Water treatment plant employees handle hazardous chemicals, work in confined spaces, and operate heavy equipment every shift. Proper PPE storage and locker systems keep your team safe, organized, and OSHA-compliant:
- Metal lockers — ventilated lockers for storing chemical-resistant gear, rain gear, and personal items between shifts
- Smart lockers — electronic access for tracking PPE distribution, returns, and inventory levels
- PPE stations — organized storage near facility entry points for gloves, goggles, hard hats, and respirators
- Gear drying systems — ventilated storage for wet or contaminated protective equipment
- Bench and hook systems — changing areas with integrated seating and gear hanging
Case Study
South Valley Water Reclamation Facility — West Jordan, UT
We designed and installed a mobile shelving system for South Valley Water Reclamation Facility, maximizing their storage capacity in a limited footprint. The high-density system organizes maintenance records, compliance documents, and operational supplies — reducing their storage area by over 50% compared to static shelving.

What storage solutions does a typical water treatment plant need?
Water treatment facilities typically need pallet rack for chemical drum storage, industrial shelving for parts rooms and maintenance shops, security cages for restricted chemical access, employee lockers for PPE, mobile shelving for regulatory document storage, and modular buildings for control rooms, labs, or additional office space. The specific configuration depends on your plant size, chemical handling requirements, and staffing levels.
How do you handle OSHA chemical storage requirements?
Our storage systems are designed to meet OSHA 1910.106 (flammable liquids) and NFPA 30 requirements. We provide safety cabinets rated for flammable, corrosive, and acid storage, security cages with restricted access and ventilation, and pallet rack systems with proper containment for chemical drums. Our design team reviews your chemical inventory and recommends compliant storage configurations.
Can you install storage systems in an active treatment plant?
Yes. We regularly install storage systems in operating facilities with zero disruption to plant operations. Our installation teams coordinate with plant management to work during scheduled maintenance windows or in phases. We completed a full mobile shelving installation at South Valley Water Reclamation while the plant remained fully operational.
Do you provide free design services for water treatment facilities?
Yes. Our design team provides free storage layout consultations, including AutoCAD drawings, product recommendations, and installation planning. We can visit your facility or work from measurements you provide to design solutions that maximize your available space while meeting all safety and access requirements.
