Ultra-Containment Berm®
Rapid Rise Model
Sidewalls stay lowered and out of the way until they are needed
To some, a containment berm’s sidewalls mean security. To others, they are a nuisance. After all, who needs sidewalls if there’s no spill?
One of the main advantages of the Ultra-Containment Berm, Rapid Rise Model is that the sidewalls stay out of the way until they are needed. Foam in the top, outer perimeter of this containment berm’s sidewalls raise the walls with the level of the liquid should there be a spill while rigid struts provide added support. But the walls stay down and flat during normal, day-to-day, operations. Helps comply with SPCC and EPA spill containment regulations.
Product Highlights
- Sidewalls remain down during normal operations, loading, and unloading. Vehicles and equipment can drive in and out with no set-up or take-down required.
- In the case of a spill, the foam ring around the top perimeter of the containment berm rises with the level of spilled liquid.
- Built-in struts around the perimeter of the berm provide additional support when the liquid level is high.
- Provides quick and easy spill containment for drums, IBCs, vehicles, frac tanks and other large containers.
- Built-in handles help with transport and placement.
- Material of construction: Copolymer-2000™.
- Custom sizes available.

Ultra-Containment Berm Options
Get It "All-In-One"
Part #: 8670
The new “All-In-One” option for the Ultra-Containment Berm has all of the extra protection you need built right in. Both the Ground Tarp and Track Belts are pre-attached (welded or heat-sealed) depending on the materials used to make your berm. Once you unpackage the berm and set it up, it will be ready to use with the additional protection already in place.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We recommend 2 feet of clearance on all sides of the item within the berm if space allows. For example, if your truck is 8 feet wide by 55 feet long, we would suggest a 12’ x 60’ berm.
-
Ground tarps and track belts are available to add layers of protection. But there are some “operational” precautions you can take as well. It may seem obvious, but hard braking/skidding will likely cause damage. Depending on the model, driving over the sidewall at the wrong angle can cause damage, so turning prior to completely exiting the berm should be avoided. One way to prevent this is to put a warning cone (or line of cones if possible) as a visual reminder to drivers to steer straight until clear of the cone(s) before turning.

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 definitive answer from our engineering staff, we can send a testing kit to you for a 30-day immersion test.
-
When the walls of the Ultra-Containment Berm, Rapid Rise Model are down (e.g., there is no spill being contained), they will fold inward. This means that with the 12″ walls, you will lose 28″ of space inside the berm. It is important that any equipment inside the berm is not resting or parked on top of the outer foam walls or they won’t rise in the event of a spill.
-
Yes, we can make containment berms in custom sizes in virtually any length and width.
-
Custom heights are available for most of the Ultra-Containment Berms. Please contact us for more information.
-
Ultra-Containment Berms ship from our factory in N. Augusta, SC 29860 at class 125.
-
The repair kit is simply an 11” x 36” piece of matching material and instructions on how to apply it to the berm. The only other item required is an industrial heat gun.
-
The ground tarp provides added protection from punctures or damage from beneath the Ultra-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.
-
For smaller standard sized berms, the 11′ x 11′ ground tarp is recommended (Part# 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.)
-
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.
