How to Choose the Right Spill Containment
Not sure which berm, tray or pallet you need? Use this quick framework to narrow options, then dive into the product categories above.
- Identify the liquids and containers. Are you storing oils, fuel, corrosives or hazmat? Count how many drums, IBC totes, tanks or small containers you need to contain and where they sit today.
- Decide where containment needs to go. For indoor drum storage, loading docks or warehouses, look at drum and IBC containment. For yards, vehicle fueling or temporary jobsites, consider flexible berms or hard wall containment.
- Confirm capacity & compliance needs. Use your SPCC plan, SDS sheets and local regulations to size containment volume. Many facilities plan for at least the capacity of the largest container, plus freeboard.
- Layer in response & stormwater protection. After you’ve picked secondary containment, add spill response kits and stormwater management products (drain covers, inlet filters, booms) to keep spills out of soil and storm drains.
Spill Containment Solutions by Industry
Spill containment isn't one-size-fits-all. Here’s how facilities in different industries use drum, IBC, flexible and hard wall containment alongside spill response and stormwater tools.

- Hard wall containment around tanks, mixers and washdown zones
- Flexible berms for maintenance work, equipment pull-outs and cleaning
Municipal & Utilities
- Drum containment for chemical feed systems and day tanks
- IBC containment for bulk treatment chemicals and storage yards
- Flexible berms and spill response around generators, pumps and trailers
Oil, Gas & Energy
- Drive-over flexible berms for tankers, frac tanks and fueling areas

- Drum containment in laydown yards and project warehouses
- Drain covers and spill kits for temporary protection during work
Warehousing & Logistics
- Drum and IBC containment at staging, cross-dock and transfer points
- Spill trays under small containers, repack lines and leaking cartons
- Bollards, guards and rack protection around high-traffic storage areas
Schools, Labs & Healthcare
- Small drum and can containment for maintenance and chemical rooms
- Bench and cabinet trays under lab chemicals and safety cabinets
- Compact spill kits for fast response in labs, classrooms and clinics
Spill Containment, EPA & SPCC Compliance
Regulations vary by site, but most facilities use spill containment to support their environmental and safety programs. Here's how these products typically fit into compliance plans.
- SPCC secondary containment: Capture leaks from aboveground storage containers such as drums, totes and day tanks as part of a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure plan.
- Stormwater management: Use drain covers, inlet filters and berms to keep spills and sediment out of storm drains and outfalls.
- Good housekeeping & OSHA: Keep aisles and work areas free of slippery liquids with spill pallets, trays and absorbents.
- Chemical storage best practices: Add trays and sumps under cabinets, racks and small containers to capture repeated leaks.
We don't replace your engineer or regulatory advisor—but we do make it easier to pick practical, proven equipment that supports your plan. If you share your container types, counts and a rough layout, we can help you build a containment package sized to your requirements.
Tip: Many customers start by sizing containment to hold at least the volume of their largest single container in an area, plus additional capacity for rainfall where required.
Our drum, IBC, flexible, hard wall and railroad containment systems are sized to support SPCC secondary containment requirements across drums, totes and tanks.

Spill Containment FAQs
Common questions from EHS managers, facility supervisors and contractors.
How do I know how much containment volume I need?
Many facilities size secondary containment to hold at least the volume of the largest single container in an area, plus freeboard or rainfall capacity where required. Your SPCC plan or local regulations should spell out exact requirements—we can help you pick equipment once you know the target volume.
Can I drive forklifts or vehicles over spill containment?
Some low-profile spill decks are rated for forklift traffic, while others are not. Portable spill berms are available with drive-over walls specifically designed for vehicles. Always check the load rating and product documentation before driving over any containment system.
Are these products compatible with all chemicals?
Most spill pallets, trays and berms are made from polyethylene or similar materials that handle oils and many chemicals well. Very strong solvents or high-temperature liquids may require special materials. Let us know what you store and we'll check compatibility.
Do you offer custom sizes or complete spill packages?
Yes. For larger projects we can combine standard products into a complete spill containment and drain protection package, and in some cases work with manufacturers on custom sizes or configurations.
What is SPCC compliance and do I need it?
SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure) is an EPA regulation requiring facilities storing more than 1,320 gallons of oil above ground to have a prevention plan. Secondary containment is a key component for capturing leaks from drums, totes, and tanks.
How fast can I get spill containment products?
Lead times vary by product. Many standard spill pallets and trays ship within 1-3 business days. Larger berms and custom configurations may take 1-2 weeks. Contact us for current availability on specific items.
