UltraTech Ultra-Containment Mini Foam Wall Berm

Spill containment is oftentimes about capturing the really large, catastrophic, environment-altering spills. And many of our products are designed to capture those kinds of spills. But the nuisance leaks and drips can cause problems of their own. Even just a few gallons spilled in a sensitive area could cause major problems. Even if it s a small leak that results in an hour lost in clean-up, that hour is much better spent elsewhere.

Containment Berms for Spill Control and Environmental Protection

Containment berms are essential spill containment solutions designed to capture leaks, drips, and spills from fuel tanks, industrial equipment, and vehicles. Often described as “portable spill pools,” these berms create an immediate containment area that prevents hazardous materials from spreading into soil or waterways. From small maintenance tasks to large-scale operations, containment berms provide reliable secondary containment for environmental compliance and workplace safety.

Why Use a Containment Berm

A containment berm acts as the first line of defense against accidental spills. Whether used under fuel tanks, generators, or parked trucks, berms are built to hold liquids such as oil, fuel, coolant, and other hazardous substances. Many are constructed from durable, chemical-resistant materials like PVC or Copolymer-2000, ensuring long-lasting protection in demanding environments.

These spill containment berms are ideal for mobile operations, including towing and recovery work, fleet maintenance, and construction sites. They’re designed to deploy quickly, fold for compact storage, and handle everything from small equipment leaks to full vehicle containment.

Choosing the Right Spill Containment Berm

Selecting the right containment berm depends on your operational needs and the type of fluids being contained. Here are key considerations:

Size and Capacity: Containment berms come in a range of sizes, from small 2’ x 2’ units to large 12’ x 50’ setups capable of holding thousands of gallons.
Material Compatibility: Ensure your berm is rated for the type of spill you’re containing like oil, fuel, acids, or hazardous materials.
Portability and Setup: Many modern berms feature collapsible or foam wall designs that can be deployed by a single person and packed away in minutes.
Durability: Look for UV-resistant, tear-resistant materials suited to outdoor and industrial environments.

Proper containment not only protects your worksite and equipment but also ensures compliance with federal and state environmental regulations.
