We have expanded our operations with the completed construction of the largest and most advanced test facility in the world for conducting third-party evaluations of leak detection equipment. Located in Grain Valley, Missouri, the test facility includes one 20,000 gallon underground storage tank, (UST), two 13,500 UST's, and more than 400 feet of underground pipelines. The site is fully instrumented and has capabilities for heating and cooling product to simulate product deliveries. The UST's can be manifolded together or individually isolated depending on the manufacturer's requirements. Product may be dispensed at variable rates or throughputs (with or without leaks present) to simulate "real-world" gas-station operations. Fiberglass and flexible pipelines are present for line leak detector testing.

Ken Wilcox Associates, Inc. is an independent third-party testing organization that has provided evaluations and R&D facilities for manufacturers of leak detection equipment since 1989. KWA certifications have been used by manufacturers to meet regulatory requirements in all 50 states and world-wide.
