Editing Filling station (section)

===Underground filling stations===
The underground modular filling station is a construction model for filling stations that was developed and patented by [[U-Cont Oy Ltd]] in [[Finland]] in 1993. Afterwards the same system was used in [[Florida]], US. Above-ground modular stations were built in the 1980s in [[Eastern Europe]] and especially in Soviet Union, but they were not built in other parts of [[Europe]] due to the stations' lack of safety in case of fire.

The construction model for underground modular filling station makes the installation time shorter, designing easier and manufacturing less expensive. As a proof of the model's installation speed an unofficial world record of filling station installation was made by U-Cont Oy Ltd when a modular filling station was built in Helsinki, Finland in less than three days, including groundwork. The safety of modular filling stations has been tested in a filling station simulator, in [[Kuopio]], Finland. These tests have included for instance burning cars and explosions in the station simulator.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.erpecnews.com/fileadmin/pdf/erpecnews19_europe.pdf |title=erpecnews19_europe |access-date=2010-07-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100613214900/http://erpecnews.com/fileadmin/pdf/erpecnews19_europe.pdf |archive-date=2010-06-13 }}</ref><ref>[http://u-cont.com/index-en/products/filling_stations.html Ucont]{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=KAP03 |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
