A method for creating a multiwalled container capable of safely holding a desired liquid. The container may be formed using a mold or form or may be formed on the inside of an existing shell or structure, thereby incorporating the shell or structure as part of the container. The mold or shell is prepared and coated with a first, impermeable polymer layer. An interstitial material is then applied to the first polymer layer and a second impermeable polymer layer is then applied to the permeable, interstitial material. This creates an interstitial space between the two impermeable polymer layers. The process of applying interstitial material and additional polymer layers may be repeated as many times as necessary to achieve the desired number of impermeable walls within the container.

1. A method for manufacturing a multiwalled container for containing liquid comprising the steps of: a. providing a shell having an inner surface and an outer surface; b. applying a primer layer to said inner surface; c. applying a first polymer layer to said primer layer to form a first, outer wall; d. applying a first, permeable, non-absorbing material to said first, outer wall to form an interstitial space, wherein said interstitial space is compartmentalized by leaving a gap between adjacent sections of said first, permeable, non-absorbing material to allow for quicker and easier detection of spills or leaks; e. applying a second polymer layer to said first, permeable, non-absorbing material such that upon application of said second polymer layer the first and second polymer layers are in direct contact with each other in the gaps between sections of the first, permeable, non-absorbing material, the second polymer layer forming a first inner wall. 2. The method of claim 1, including the step of positioning a monitoring means in the interstitial space, said monitoring means being capable of alerting a user of the container of leaks or ruptures in said inner surface.3. The method of claim 2, wherein said monitoring means comprises an electrical monitor.4. The method of claim 2, wherein said monitoring means comprises a mechanical monitor.5. The method of claim 1, said second polymer layer containing a specific additive to alter the characteristics of the polymer, wherein said specific additive is a biocidal agent to deter algae growth inside the container.6. The method of claim 1, including the steps of: cleaning said shell to create a suitable substrate for application of the primer layer; applying treatment to said inner surface of said shell to create an improved surface profile; after applying the primer layer to said inner surface and prior to applying the first polymer layer, applying a thermal insulation layer. 7. The method of claim 6, said second polymer layer containing a specific additive to alter the characteristics of the polymer, wherein said specific additive is a biocidal agent to deter algae growth inside the container.8. A method for manufacturing a multiwalled container for containing a liquid comprising the steps of: a. providing a shell having an inner surface and an outer surface; b. cleaning said shell to create a suitable substrate for application of a primer layer; c. applying treatment to said inner surface of said shell to create an improved surface profile; d. applying a primer to said inner surface; e. applying a thermal insulation layer to said primer; f. applying a first polymer layer to said insulation layer to form a first outer wall; g. applying a first, permeable, non-absorbing material to said first, outer wall to form an interstitial space wherein said interstitial space is compartmentalized by leaving a gap between adjacent sections of said first, permeable, non-absorbing material to allow for quicker and easier detection of spills or leaks; h. applying a second polymer layer to said first, permeable, non-absorbing material which is in direct contact with the first polymer layer in gaps between the sections of the first, permeable, non-absorbing material, to form a first inner wall. 9. The method of claim 8, said second polymer layer containing a specific additive to alter the characteristics of the polymer, wherein said specific additive is a material capable of blocking ultraviolet light to prevent exposure of the liquid in the container to ultraviolet light.
