Expert Insights
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.
Build Your Berms - Corner | Build Your Berms Modular Containment
Why Modular Floor Berm Systems Matter
EPA SPCC regulations (40 CFR Part 112) and OSHA hazard communication standards require facilities handling oils, fuels, and industrial chemicals to implement secondary containment that prevents spilled liquids from reaching floor drains, adjacent work areas, and the environment. Modular build-your-own berm systems provide a permanent, customizable containment perimeter directly on existing floor surfaces — without construction permits, concrete work, or permanent facility modification. They are essential for equipment workstations, drum storage areas, chemical handling zones, and any indoor area where incidental drips and spills must be contained at the source.
Corner Pieces — Create Any Layout Shape
The Build Your Berms - Corner is a 90-degree PVC corner piece that creates turns in your Build Your Berms containment layout. Connects to straight wall sections using vinyl adhesive for a permanent, leak-proof joint. Additional corners allow you to create L-shapes, U-shapes, and fully enclosed rectangular or irregular containment perimeters.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 is included in a Build-a-Berm kit?
Build-a-Berm kits include wall sections, corner sections, and a liner that you assemble to create a custom-sized containment berm. You choose the wall height, perimeter length, and liner size to match your specific containment requirements. Additional wall and corner sections can be purchased separately to expand your berm later.
