Why Aluminum Bracket Containment Berms Matter

EPA SPCC regulations (40 CFR Part 112) require facilities that store, transfer, or process oil and petroleum products to implement secondary containment systems sized to hold 110% of the largest single container’s volume plus accumulated precipitation. Aluminum bracket containment berms provide a structurally rigid, weather-resistant, and cost-effective alternative to poured concrete containment pads — without construction permits, curing time, or permanent facility modification. The aluminum L-bracket supports hold 12-inch Copolymer-2000 walls permanently upright for reliable outdoor containment around drum storage areas, generators, transformers, bulk tanks, and industrial equipment.

Aluminum Bracket Berms — Economy Rigid-Wall Containment

The Aluminum Bracket Containment Berm 12x50' features pre-attached aluminum L-bracket supports that provide self-supporting 12-inch walls without the need for stakes, sandbags, foam inserts, or external bracing. The Copolymer-2000 liner resists oils, fuels, diesel, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, coolants, antifreeze, solvents, and mild acids and bases — while also providing UV resistance for permanent outdoor installations that maintain integrity through years of sun exposure, rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles. Available in 19 sizes from 4′×6′ (179 gallons) to 15′×66′ (7,405 gallons), these berms provide the most economical rigid-wall containment solution for large-area applications.

EHS managers, environmental compliance officers, facility engineers, plant maintenance supervisors, and procurement teams at refineries, chemical plants, power generation facilities, data centers, manufacturing plants, military installations, oil field operations, and construction companies order aluminum bracket berms for SPCC compliance, outdoor drum storage containment, generator and transformer secondary containment, and equipment staging areas. Government agencies and environmental contractors specify them for permanent and semi-permanent field installations.

How do aluminum bracket berms work?

L-shaped aluminum brackets slide into pockets on the outside of the 12-inch walls to hold them upright. There are no frames outside the sidewalls, so the berm fits inside sheds and buildings where floor space is tight. It is made of Copolymer-2000.

When is an aluminum bracket berm the right choice?

It is an economical choice for berms that are set up when needed, or for drums, IBCs and equipment left in the berm for long periods, including frac tanks and other large containers.
