We use the interlocking dikes around our generator sets during refueling operations. Setup takes less than two minutes — the quick-connect ends snap together and the whole crew knows how to deploy them. We've had two minor diesel spills contained completely within the dike perimeter. The inspector was impressed.

Product Overview
The Connecting Dike provides maximum floor-level spill containment at 4.5 inches tall. This 5-foot polyurethane dike features dovetail connecting ends that lock sections together for building high-capacity containment perimeters. Measuring 5 ft. L x 4 in. W x 4.5 in. H and weighing 16 lbs, it delivers the tallest barrier height in the dike product line. Made from flexible polyurethane elastomer in green, the Connecting Dike seals against smooth floors without adhesive and conforms to minor surface irregularities.

Expert Insights
The Connecting Dike is the tallest floor-level containment dike at 4.5 inches, providing maximum spill volume capacity per linear foot. The 5-foot sections use dovetail connecting ends rather than the quick-connect system found on the Interlocking and Connectable Dikes. At 16 lbs per 5-foot section, this dike is the heaviest per-foot option but justified when you need to contain larger spill volumes. Ideal for areas around tanks, pumps, or equipment where significant fluid release is possible. For lighter-duty applications, consider the Interlocking Dike (1.37 in.) or Connectable Dike (2.25 in.) instead.
Connecting Spill Containment Dike, Green, 5ft | Spill Containment & Secondary Containment
Why Spill Containment Dikes Matter
EPA SPCC regulations (40 CFR Part 112) require facilities that store, transfer, or process oil to implement secondary containment measures capable of holding the entire contents of the largest container plus precipitation. Flexible spill containment dikes provide a cost-effective, rapidly deployable alternative to permanent concrete berms — without the construction cost, lead time, or floor space limitations.
High-Profile Connecting Dike for Maximum Containment Volume
The Connecting Spill Containment Dike, Green, 5ft stands 4.5 inches tall — nearly double the height of standard 2.25-inch dikes — providing significantly greater containment volume per linear foot. The integrated dovetail connecting ends eliminate the need for separate connectors, reducing setup time and preventing connector loss. Available in 5-foot sections for precision sizing.
Who Buys Spill Containment Dikes
EHS managers, facility maintenance supervisors, and environmental compliance officers at refineries, chemical plants, tank farms, power generation facilities, and manufacturing operations order spill containment dikes for SPCC compliance and spill prevention. Construction contractors use them around fuel storage and equipment staging areas. Military installations and government facilities specify them for fuel and hazmat operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Connecting Spill Containment Dike, Green, 5ft
How does this connect to other sections?
The Connecting Dike uses dovetail connecting ends that slide and lock together. This is a different connection system from the Connectable Dike quick-connect ends.
Can I mix this with Connectable Dike sections?
No. The Connecting Dike uses dovetail ends and is not compatible with the quick-connect ends on the Connectable Dike (AMR8014S) or Interlocking Dike (ASPB10CS).
Why choose a 4.5-inch dike over a shorter one?
The 4.5-inch height contains significantly more spill volume per linear foot than the 1.37-inch or 2.25-inch dikes. Choose this for areas where large fluid releases are possible.
Is adhesive required?
No. The flexible polyurethane creates a seal against smooth floors through its own weight and conformability without adhesive or fasteners.
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.
-
-
These connectable dikes replaced the concrete berms we were planning to pour around our transformer pad. Saved us thousands in construction costs and we can reconfigure them when the equipment layout changes. Forklifts drive right over them without any issues. Very happy with this purchase.
-
Ordered the dike carry case along with a set of interlocking dikes for our mobile spill response kit. Keeps everything organized and protected in the truck. Only wish they made a larger case for storing multiple sets — but the quality of both the dikes and the case is excellent.
