Containment Definition & Scope

Secondary Containment for Spills and Leaks

Spill containment berms create a temporary or project-specific secondary containment area around equipment, tanks, drums, vehicles and other potential spill sources.

They are designed for secondary containment and are not intended to replace primary liquid storage tanks.

Support Structures & Selection

Choose the Right Spill Containment Berm

Five support structures are available for different equipment sizes, site conditions and deployment requirements. Each suits a different balance of wall stability, portability, setup speed and storage volume.

★ MOST RECOMMENDED

L-Bracket Support Spill Containment Berm

Stable Support. Fast Setup. Easy Storage.

Angle brackets provide reliable sidewall support while keeping the berm simple to assemble, fold and transport. This configuration offers a practical balance of stability, portability and deployment speed for a wide range of industrial containment applications.

Best For

  • Generators
  • Drums and IBCs
  • Machinery
  • Maintenance areas
  • Fuel handling equipment
  • General industrial containment

Advantages

Stable Sidewall Support: Reliable wall support without requiring a complete external tube frame.

Fast Assembly: Individual supports can be positioned quickly during deployment.

Easy to Store: Folds flat after use for compact transport and storage.

Versatile Application: Covers broad standard industrial spill-containment projects.

Quick Selection Matrix

Which Spill Berm Should You Choose?

Need a reliable berm for general industrial use?

Choose L-Bracket Support

Suited to standard projects where stability, portability and quick assembly are all important.

Need stronger structural support for a larger footprint?

Choose Galvanized-Tube Support

Suitable for larger machinery, equipment and containment areas requiring a more rigid framework.

Prefer an externally supported wall system?

Choose Outside Support

External supports reinforce the berm wall while leaving the internal containment area unobstructed.

Need a portable system without rigid brackets?

Choose Inflatable Wall

Consider an inflatable-wall configuration when portability and temporary deployment are priorities.

Need a lightweight temporary containment solution?

Choose Sponge-Filled Wall

Suitable for lighter-duty applications where quick deployment and storage are important.

Engineering Sizing Consultation

Configure the Berm Around Your Equipment

Berm dimensions should be selected around the actual equipment footprint, required clearance and containment volume—not only from a standard size list.

Wall Height: 0.2 m – 0.7 m (Configured per Project)

Tell Us Your Dimensions:

  • • Equipment length & width
  • • Required berm clearance around equipment
  • • Required wall height (0.2 m – 0.7 m)
  • • Equipment type (generator, transformer, vehicle)
  • • Vehicle access / drive-in requirements
  • • Contained liquid / medium
  • • Quantity required

Send us the equipment dimensions if you are unsure about the berm size. We can review the required footprint before quotation.

Fabric & Exposure

Material and Liquid Compatibility

Material 01

PVC Construction

FUUSHAN spill containment berms are manufactured using flexible PVC-coated materials selected according to the required structure and application.

Reinforced seams and heavy-duty corner construction help maintain liquid barrier integrity under operational stress.

Review 02

Compatibility Review

Liquid compatibility should be confirmed according to the actual contained medium, concentration, temperature and expected exposure conditions.

Spill berms provide secondary containment for incidental drips and leaks; universal fuel or chemical immunity is not assumed.

Checklist 03

• Liquid / chemical name
• Concentration (if applicable)
• Operating temperature
• Expected contact duration
• Indoor or outdoor installation

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a spill containment berm used for?

Spill containment berms create a secondary containment area around equipment, drums, tanks, vehicles or other potential spill sources.

Which spill berm structure do you recommend?

Selection depends on equipment footprint, site conditions, access requirements and containment volume rather than on one best structure. Send us the equipment dimensions and operating conditions and we will review the suitable configurations before quotation.

What is the difference between L-Bracket and galvanized-tube support?

L-Bracket systems use individual wall supports and are generally easier to deploy and store. Galvanized-tube systems use a more rigid frame and may be better suited to larger containment footprints or applications requiring greater structural support.

Can the berm size be customized?

Yes. Berm dimensions can be reviewed according to equipment footprint, required clearance, wall height and project conditions.

Can you recommend a berm size from my equipment dimensions?

Yes. Provide the equipment length, width and required operating clearance, and we can review the required berm footprint before quotation.

Can spill berms contain fuel or chemicals?

Material compatibility should be confirmed according to the exact liquid, concentration, temperature and expected exposure conditions.

Are spill berms primary storage tanks?

No. Spill containment berms are designed for secondary containment and should not be treated as primary liquid storage tanks.
