UltraTech 8278 – 12′ X 50′ Ultra-Containment Berms®, Economy Model

The UltraTech 8278 (12′ x 30′ x 1) Economy Containment Berm is an affordable spill containment system with a spill capacity of 4,488 gallons (16,988.9 liters). Economy spill containment berms are ideal for infrequent usage or secondary containment where you do not need to move the equipment in and out of the spill containment unit often. This berm features L-shaped brackets to support the durable walls made from Copolymer-2000™. The aluminum brackets slide into the sleeves around the perimeter of the berm for easy set up. As this model does not have an apron or elements outside of the unit, the cost-efficient containment berm provides wall-to-wall spill protection for tight spaces such as storage sheds, garages, etc.

Spill containment berms can help you meet regulatory compliance such as SPCC and EPA Container Storage regulations to avoid fines for improper storage of liquids as well as to minimize repercussions of costly leaks or spills from hazardous fluids.
