Questions and answers

How much does the Foam Wall Containment Berm hold?

Up to 1,496 gallons, with 4 in. walls.

How do I size a containment berm?

Find the largest tank, tote or vehicle compartment that will sit in the berm. SPCC rules require the berm to hold that full volume plus room for rain, and a common rule of thumb is at least 110% of the largest container. Pick a berm whose capacity meets that number.

Can vehicles drive into it?

Yes. The foam walls flatten under tires and spring back up, so vehicles, carts and forklifts drive straight in and out with no ramps.

What liquids can it hold?

PVC handles petroleum products, hydraulic fluid and common chemicals at a lower cost. For aggressive chemicals or long-term fuel exposure, choose a Copolymer-2000 model.

What about rainwater in the berm?

Rain collects in an outdoor berm and uses up capacity, so check it after storms and remove clean water. A berm bailer or drain lets you remove water in a controlled way; never drain water that has a sheen.

Do I need a ground mat?

A ground mat or tarp under the berm protects the floor from rocks, rebar and rough ground, and track guards protect it where tires roll in. Both are in our Berm Accessories category.
