Product Description

Federal Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations require that a containment area has enough capacity for at least 10% of the total volume of the primary containers, or 110% of the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater. Failure to comply can lead to significant penalties and legal consequences. Protecting your workers and neighbors is also just the right thing to do. And when you’ve done it, you can focus on your best work, guilt-free. Also see the relevant EPA regulations.ย 

Traditional spill containment involves expensive, custom-designed poured concrete barriers, cider block construction or other means that can chip, break and crack over time and require demolition for any reconfiguration.ย 

RubberForm Drive-Over Spill Containment Berms are custom-made in shape and size needed for your project and can adhere to almost any surface, indoors or outdoors. They are especially useful at locations with over-head doors, allowing vehicles to enter or exit unhindered by the berm. Removal and relocation is easy as your needs change. Our 100% American recycled composite TPV material berms are made for any environment: heat, cold, rain, ice, or snow, and will not crack, crumble, or corrode over time.ย 

Our liquid-tight sealant/caulk/adhesive and composite TPV berm are both highly resistant to most chemicalsโ€“self-certification testing kits are available, just contact us for more info.

*Please consult with your environmental engineer to ensure compliance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What if the berm is not fabricated right and a measurement is wrong? Who pays for that and who is responsible?

Too much can go wrong and has gone wrong without a drawing done by our team. The drawing needs to be approved by the customer with written proof and signed off before we start.

What is the โ€œSpill Containment Border Layout Check Charge-RFโ€ fee for?

RubberForm needs to have you approve the spill berm containment layout for your secondary containment berm based on your requirements which is drawn up by RubberFormโ€™s SolidWorks CAD designer. Your approval is needed before we custom fabricate in plant at RubberFormโ€™s facility where we will custom-build to your spill berm layout specifications. This CAD drawing is used to fabricate in our plant and for your installation crew at your facility. Our RubberForm team will also lay out the completed fabricated berm system to double check that the berm is fabricated as drawn and approved by you.

Can I cut your rubber berm and fabricate myself?

Yes, with the proper tools you can cut and fabricate on-site. You will need a radial arm or chop saw with the proper saw blade. We offer an installation guide, so you can fabricate and install on-location.

Which spill berm is best for me?

The EPA/DEC have guidelines for this SPCC โ€“ Spill Containment Counter Measure requirement. Based on the SPCC requirement, you must ensure your containment area has enough capacity to contain at least 10% of the total volume of the primary containers, or 100% of the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater. We have a spreadsheet that provides a rough estimate of the height and size containment berm you will need. Please consult with your licensed engineer/P.E. for certification and full requirements.

How many bolts do you recommend for the spill containment berm?

We recommend bolting down every 1 ยฝโ€™ to 2โ€™. Our rubber berm needs to be sealed/caulked/glued down as well. However please consult with your P.E. and engineer for your specific project requirements.

Do we need to bolt and glue our berm down?

Definitely glue/seal/caulk your berm down. This creates the seal for the spill berm. Not all surfaces are level, and the glue/sealer/caulk should fill in the holes or gaps on the surface. We also recommend bolting down in place; however, this is up to the customer and your P.E./engineerโ€™s recommendation. If it is in a high traffic area, we highly recommend bolting and sealing/caulking/adhering in place.

How tall of a spill berm do I need?

According to the rules governed by the EPAโ€™s SPCC, you must ensure your containment area has enough capacity to contain at least 10% of the total volume of the primary containers, or 100% of the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater. You would need to engineer the volume of liquid that fits into the square foot area you have to work with. If you need help, please give one of our specialists a call. For a rough estimate of the height and containment berm needed, contact us for our spreadsheet.

I need to drive in and out of the containment area. Do you offer a ramp solution for a drive-in containment area?

Yes. We have drive-over spill containment ramp solutions that can be combined with any of our spill berms. Weโ€™d be glad to help you with this over a quick phone call!

What is the turnaround time for these berms?

Depending on the spill berm size and the amount of fabrication we will be doing; this can range from 1 week to 3 weeks. Please email us your drawing at service@rubberform.com so we can quote and provide a better timeframe for delivery.

What size of spill containment berm/dikes do you offer?

We offer 3 sizes of spill containment berms. Our extruded EDPM rubber spill berms come in 2โ€, 4โ€, and 6โ€ heights.

Do you offer custom fabrication services - cutting and mounting hole drilling - or will I have to do it myself?

RubberForm has a custom fabrication service department for cutting and drilling. Our team can custom fabricate our spill berms per your specification requirement and layout. There is a charge for custom fabrication which is included in our quotes so you will know the exact fees. Email your drawing and specs to Sales@RubberForm.com to work with one of our product specialists to provide a firm quotation for your project.

What do we use to fabricate the berm with?

The customers drawing is helpful, but we need one to mark all the pieces of cut berm and give to our fabrication team.
