THE SITUATION
The G.R. Birdwell Construction company in Texas required a heavy-duty Drive-Over Spill Containment Berm system (Secondary Containment Berm) for a new bulk liquid container facility, as well as a separate containment berm for wastewater in the same area. But these berms needed to be easy to install, easy to remove, and durable enough to last for decades.
Tall and Easy to Install
The engineers at G.R. Birdwell Construction required a drive-over berm system that was 3 inches tall and easier to install and remove than concrete. Our existing drive-over berm, while easy to work with, was only 2” tall at the time.
Our Innovation
RubberForm worked with the engineers at G.R. Birdwell Construction and proposed a 3” high drive-over Spill Containment Berm along with our 4” high, chemical resistant EPDM solid rubber Secondary Containment Berm. We modified our 4” Speed Bump to a 3” tall solid molded, durable Spill Berm. This gave RubberForm 2 new solutions: a 3” high Drive-Over Containment Berm and a 3” high Speed Bump to be added to RubberForm’s American-made recycled material product offerings.
It Worked
G.R. Birdwell Construction installed our new 3” tall drive-over spill containment berm for a bulk container customer. It’s held up to years of heavy truck traffic. G.R. Birdwell liked our solution so much they’ve installed it at many subsequent sites.
