Expert Insights

When selecting a containment berm, calculate the required sump capacity as 110% of the largest container stored within, or 10% of the total volume of all containers — whichever is greater. This ensures compliance with EPA 40 CFR 264.175. Consider UV exposure for outdoor installations; polyethylene berms offer superior UV resistance compared to PVC options. For cold-weather operations, verify the liner material remains flexible at your lowest expected temperatures. XR-5 and LLDPE liners maintain flexibility well below freezing, while standard PVC can become brittle. Always install berms on a level, debris-free surface to prevent punctures and ensure proper containment capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Self-Rising Walls Containment Berm 12x30 Copolymer

What size containment berm do I need?

Calculate based on EPA 40 CFR 264.175: the sump must hold 110% of the largest container or 10% of total container volume, whichever is greater. For outdoor use, add freeboard for rainwater accumulation.

How do I clean the containment berm?

Remove accumulated liquids using a pump or wet vacuum. Clean the liner with appropriate solvents or degreasers based on the spilled material. Inspect for damage during cleaning and patch any punctures immediately.

Can I drive equipment over the berm?

Only berms with designated drive-over ramps or track guards should have vehicle traffic. Standard berms can be damaged by forklifts and vehicles. Consider a drive-in berm or ground-level berm with approach plates for vehicle access areas.

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."

    Jason K.Maintenance Shop Supervisor / Manufacturing
