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.
The UltraTech Compact Containment Berm is a one-piece portable spill containment berm molded from Copolymer-2000 with integrated 12-inch sidewalls. Unlike multi-piece berm systems that require brackets, stakes, or assembly, this berm unfolds as a single unit for instant deployment. The Copolymer-2000 material provides superior chemical resistance and UV stability for continuous outdoor exposure.
Available in 19 sizes from 4′×6′ (179 gallons) to 15′×66′ (7,405 gallons), these berms serve applications from single-drum containment to large equipment staging areas. The lightweight one-piece design folds compactly for storage and transport, making it ideal for mobile operations, temporary deployments, and emergency spill response. Meets EPA SPCC (40 CFR 112) secondary containment requirements.
Ideal for: Generator and transformer pads, drum storage areas, fuel transfer operations, military field operations, construction sites, and any application requiring portable, tool-free secondary containment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Compact Containment Berm 15x20'
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 makes the compact berm different from other berms?
It folds into a tight package, so it takes minimal space on trucks and hazmat response vehicles. The 12-inch sidewalls set up quickly with no inflation required, lower quickly for drive in / drive out, and can be driven over without being damaged.
