Oil Spill Berms - Fuel Containment Spill Berms: Spills can occur at any time, especially when working with fuels and oils. Transfer processes are extremely vunerable to equipment and operator failures. Preparing for these potential spills is required by law. Basic Concepts’ oil spill berms are an excellent way to prepare for these events. Deploying spill containment berms can assist 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). Unfortunately, the general public has been made all too aware of the hazards associated with an oil spill. Whether the spill occurs on water or land, the results are devastating to the local ecosystem and can impact local economies as well. Businesses should take preventative measures concerning oil spills because it is required by law, is economically more cost effective than the costs associated with an oil clean up of any size and avoids negative press in the community. Each application must be evaluated differently when addressing the potential of an oil spill. All parameters of the work site must be taken into account. What surface is the oil spill berm going to be deployed on and what is the expected traffic use for this bermed area. Is the area paved with concrete, asphalt or just a gravel area or dirt. Punctures happen and proper oil spill berm protection in the form of ground mats and track mats should be incorporated into any site design.		Let Us Help Find What you Need: What separates Basic Concepts spill berms from other containment berm systems is the ability to quickly have your berm deployed. With our unique design strap system most spill berms such as example, can be set up in less than 5 minutes.

Weather can also impact the design of the oil spill berm that is used to meet the secondary spill requirements for the area being contained. If there is significant snow fall then a semi rigid upright wall design should be used. Float up walls will not work with the weight of the snow and ice on top of them. Oil spill berms that are to be used in areas where there are high winds will need a method of securing the berm down. An unsecured berm can act like a sail and catch the wind and blow away. Direct sunlight can also be damaging to a fabric. Any oil spill berm that is used outside should be constructed with a fabric that has UV stabilizers in the fabric.

These are just a few of the items that should be taken into consideration when designing an oil spill berm for any end use. Custom sizes are available for any end application. Offering the ability to custom design a specific sized portable spill berm is very advantageous because every application is different. 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.
