Our Business
Bristar Containment Industries is located in the heart of Alberta’s Upstream Petroleum Industry – Central Alberta. We are the premiere environmental firm to provide Secondary Containment solutions to meet Regulatory Requirements issued to the Upstream Petroleum Industry by the governing board – EUB. We are recognized as the leaders in this portion of Environmental concerns and our reputation has captured both national and international attention wherever protection of the environment has become critical and important. A new industry has evolved in recent years that transcend all industrial sectors – Environmental Protection. It is in this sector we provide innovation and leadership.
Founded in 1995 as an Environmental Products manufacturer, Bristar originally fabricated Geomembrane liners combined with Corrugated Steel to form an impervious barrier of secondary containment between aboveground storage tanks and the earth and groundwater. Our unique containments help tank operators to bring their tanks into compliance to regulatory requirements, protect their investment, and preserve our environment.
Brief History:
Evolution of an idea
Bristar Containment Industries Ltd is Alberta’s premiere secondary containment firm providing secure environmental protection for Above Ground Storage Tanks in the Upstream Petroleum Industry. The challenges surrounding environmental protection of Alberta’s soils and ground water became paramount in 1995 with the introduction of the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) Guide G-55. The Guide G-55 required producers to preserve the environment from potential leaks and spills surrounding above ground storage tanks by the implementation of Secondary Containment. Bristar Containment Industries Ltd, a team consisting of Brian and Star Campbell with experience in Tank Storage and Secondary Containment, met these challenges by introducing innovative and cost effective Secondary Containment systems constructed of corrugated steel and geosynthetic materials compatible with the products being stored. Today in Alberta’s “Oil Patch” we have established the standard which both Producers and Regulatory officials recognize as providing the most security to our environment.
Since our inception and incorporation in 1995, Bristar Containment Industries Ltd has led the way in an important sub-industry now sustaining the environment while meeting Regulatory Requirements. Today our reputation is sound and our Corporate Name is synonymous with durability, innovation, security, and quality product.
