Expert Insights
When selecting a containment berm, calculate the required sump capacity as 110% of the largest container stored within, or 10% of the total volume of all containers — whichever is greater. This ensures compliance with EPA 40 CFR 264.175. Consider UV exposure for outdoor installations; polyethylene berms offer superior UV resistance compared to PVC options.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Flexible Wall 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 flexible wall design unique?
Flexible polyurethane stakes every 12 inches, each with a built-in living hinge at its base, hold the 12-inch walls up. Drums and trucks can roll over the walls in either direction and the walls spring back upright automatically.
