Drive through Spill Berms: Spills can occur at any time, however, facilities are most vunerable during transfer processes that take place at shipping dock and loading racks. Preparing for these potential spill events is required by law. Basic Concepts’ drive through spill berms are an excellent way to prepare these area for spills. Installing drive through spill containment berms can assist sites in meeting and exceeding good manufacturing practices and the regulatory requirements of 40 CFR part 112 of the Clean Water Act also known as the SPCC (Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures) requirements. Facilities must prepare for accidental container and operator failures. Basic Concepts provides durable and versatile secondary containment systems that can be used for effective spill containment. Using Basic Concepts' drive through spill containment products assists in keeping your workplace and the environment safe and clean by keeping chemicals and hydrocarbons on site and not allowing them to enter storm water drains. Many manufacturing plants were designed prior to current regulations being implemented. Loading racks and shipping docks were not designed for keeping spills on site. In most instances storm drains were installed to efficiently remove rainwater from the area.

These older designs are often in direct violation of storm water permitting and 40 CFR of the Clean Water Act. Correcting these deficiencies can be expensive. Using a drive through spill berm in loading/unloading areas can be a cost efficient means to addressing this issue in a site's spill plan. Manufacturing facilities that receive chemicals or hydrocarbons at their location should consider using a drive through spill berm to ensure compliance with all federal, state and local regulations pertaining to spill control.

Drive through spill berms are also utilized in remote locations or in instances where tankers are defined as above ground storage tanks (ASTs). Having a drive through spill berms easily provides the ability to provide secondary containment for these applications where it was difficult to do so in the past.

End users requesting drive through spill berms should require that the berm be durable and puncture resistant. There are many fabrics available on the market, not all are created equal. The end user should request that the drive through spill berm be compatible with whatever chemicals they are wanting to be contained. In addition to this requirement, the end user should fully describe the application so that all elements of the process can be factored into the berm's end design. Most drive through applications will be located outside so it is important to consider the environmental impact to the berm. On what type surface area is the drive through spill berm going to be located. How much rain does the area receive, should a hydrocarbon filter be included with the berm? If the berm is to be located in direct sunlight then the fabric body of the berm should be infused with UV inhibitors.

Custom sizes are available for any end application. Offering the ability to custom design a specific sized drive through spill berm is very advantageous because every application is different. Tanker volume and the loading rack dimensions often drive the final layout of the drive through spill berm. Basic Concepts manufactures all of our berms to order, typically with a two week or less lead time, so every berm is considered a custom job and there is no extra pricing for getting your berm sized precisely for your need.
