What is an Earth-lined Slurry Store? Earth-lined Slurry Stores (ELS) are an alternative to traditional concrete or steel slurry tank storage systems. An ELS is a subsoil-based structure which is used as a method of slurry storage. They may be used to store neat, diluted or separated slurries and the storage or settlement of dirty water. The tank is formed by using excavated or suitable imported material to form surrounding banks and the subsoil liner. The subsoil liner is installed to protect the surrounding environment from contamination.

An ELS also requires full planning permission which legally requires a "Site Assessment Report" to be completed by a local authority
approved site assessment consultant. Barry Walls Consultant Engineer Ltd. are nationally approved to assess sites for ELS design,
in full compliance with the current legal requirements of the department of agriculture. We are professionally qualified and insured to certify the construction of the structure.
