Expert Insights

At 12x52 ft., this Plus tarp covers large berm installations with a single piece, eliminating seam overlaps that could allow ground debris to contact the berm floor. The 130 mil polypropylene handles quarry-grade gravel and sharp rubble. At 129 lbs, this tarp needs at minimum two strong people or a crew to deploy. The 52-foot length fits most large drive-through berm configurations. For even longer runs, the 12x62 ft. or the 12x450 ft. continuous roll provide additional coverage. For smaller setups, the 12x22 or 12x32 ft. sizes are more manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Containment Berm Ground Tarp Plus, 12x52'

How many people are needed to deploy this tarp?

At 129 lbs, this tarp requires at minimum two strong people. A crew of three or four makes deployment much easier.

What size berm works with this tarp?

The 12x52 ft. dimensions accommodate most large containment berms. Select a tarp that extends 1-2 ft. beyond the berm footprint on all sides.

Is one piece better than overlapping smaller tarps?

Yes. A single tarp eliminates seams where ground debris could push through and contact the berm floor. Use the largest single tarp that fits your berm.

How thick is 130 mil?

130 mil equals approximately 1/8 inch. This is significantly thicker than standard ground tarps and provides superior puncture resistance on rough terrain.

What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.

  • ★★★★★

    "We keep 4-inch quick deploy berms under every piece of heavy equipment on our job sites. When a hydraulic line blows, we can have containment under the machine in seconds. Saved us from two potential EPA violations already this year."

    Mike R.Fleet Maintenance Supervisor / Heavy Construction
  • ★★★★★

    "The 8-inch wall berms with snap-up supports are perfect for our outdoor drum storage area. We went from a non-compliant gravel pad to full SPCC compliance in one afternoon. The galvanized supports keep the walls rigid even in wind."

    Sarah T.EHS Manager / Chemical Distribution
  • ★★★★★

    "Bought the 6-inch folding berms for our maintenance shop. They fold completely flat when we need the floor space for other work, then pop right back up for oil changes and equipment servicing. Great quality — the welded seams don't leak a drop."
