Berm Contains Chemical Spills

By Staff -- Logistics Management, 10/1/1999

The Flexwall Model containment berms from UltraTech International provide spill containment for drums, tanks, generators, and chemical processing equipment. They also are designed as washdown pads for aircraft, trucks, and other heavy equipment.

The 4-inch tall sidewalls are held upright by flexible polymer inserts that easily compress under weight and instantly rebound to their original shape. This feature is useful for drive-in, drive-out applications where taller sidewalls are not desired. The berms are accessible by standard drum trucks or forklifts with a 4-inch or higher undercarriage.

The standard construction material is new Copolymer 2000, a reinforced polymer-coated fabric with excellent chemical resistance. Optional 2-foot by 4-foot grates keep drums, tanks, and other devices elevated away from potential leaks and spills.
