What if I need to use the Ultra-Containment Berm with a chemical
that is not listed in the compatibility guide?
If the chemical is not listed in the
guide,
chances are that chemical has not been tested with the material.
If we cannot get a definite answer from our engineering staff, we can
send a testing kit to your customer for a 30 day immersion test.

What is the
optional Ground Tarp for?
The Ground Tarp provides added
protection from punctures or damage from beneath the Containment Berm.
Standard procedure is to sweep the area of any rocks or debris, then place the
Ground Tarp down followed by the Containment Berm.
Back to the top
How
do I know what size Ground Tarp to order?
For smaller standard sized Berms, the
11' x 11' Ground Tarp is recommended (p/n 8311). For larger Berms, the
general rule of thumb is to add 4' to both the length and width dimensions of
the Berm. (e.g. a 16' x 64' Ground Tarp would be used for a 12' x 60
Containment Berm.

What are the
Track Belts for?
Track Belts are strips of very
heavy-duty material (Reinforced PVC) that lay down inside of the Berm.
They take the wear and tear from tires of the vehicles that are driving in and
out of the Berms. Thereby extending the life of the product.

There
are so many different models. What's the difference?
The thing that's different in each
model is the way the sidewalls operates. Some need to be manually set-up
while others require very little or no set-up. Each application will
dictate which model is the best choice. On each product page is a link
that reads, "See how the sidewalls work". This will show a short animation
of how the sidewalls work.
