Dec 6, 2023 | Industrial

RubberForm’s Spill Containment Berms are not only effective in mechanically isolating areas and containing spills, but they also offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods of constructing border curbs. Instead of resorting to expensive concrete barriers, culverts, and construction costs, our berms provide a practical solution. One of the key advantages of our berms is their solid bottom, which adheres to most surfaces.

This feature makes them perfect for applications where the need to hold, divert, or redirect liquids is crucial. Whether you are dealing with hazardous liquids, oils, solvents, fuels, or even water, our extruded rubber berms are designed to withstand their effects. In addition to their functionality, our berms also comply with the Federal Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations.

These regulations aim to prevent pollution of navigable waters and adjoining shorelines by establishing requirements for spill prevention, preparedness, and response. Specifically, certain facilities are required to prepare, amend, and implement SPCC Plans as prescribed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The SPCC Plans ensure that the containment area has sufficient capacity to contain a significant volume of liquids. According to the regulations, the containment area must be able to hold at least 10% of the total volume of the primary containers or 100% of the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater.

RubberForm’s berms are an excellent choice to meet these requirements, as they can be custom fabricated to any specification, shape, or configuration. By choosing RubberForm’s Spill Containment Berms, you not only get a versatile and durable solution for containing spills and isolating areas, but you also ensure compliance with the necessary regulations.

Our berms provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods, while offering the reliability and functionality required for various applications. Whether you need to protect the environment from hazardous liquids or simply redirect water, our berms are up to the task.
