Spill Containment Berms

Regulatory requirement as stated by the Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) Land Use Permit RegulationsT

'The Permittee shall ensure that fuel storage containers are not located below, or within thirty (30) meters of the ordinary high water mark of any body of water. Further, secondary containment such as self supporting insta-berms shall be used when storing barrel fuel on location, rather than relying on natural depressions. Fuel storage containers in excess of 4,000 liters capacity shall either be double-walled, self bermed construction, or diked with adequate emergency storage capacity. An impermeable liner shall be used to ensure that no fuel escapes. The Permittee shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent the possibility of migration of spilled petroleum fuel or chemicals over the ground surface.'

Exploration Tent's record of successful bermed fuel/chemical storage installations encompassing a variety of harsh liquids has given our secondary drum containment berms a recognized position of leadership in this very specialized field. XR-5 Technology is used in many types of applications including tailing pond liners, secondary containment, drum storage berm, indoor and outdoor fuel/petroleum products/hazardous chemical storage and portable compact berms.

Our technology, manufacturing processes and fabrication systems meet our industry’s most stringent performance demands. The membranes are highly resistant and non-degradable with extreme puncture and tear resistance, as well as dimensional stability under high loads and temperature fluctuations. We deliver levels of performance that far exceed specified INAC requirements and industry regulations for fuel handling containment.

Field-proven installation techniques are the result of combining long experience in manufacturing high-performance membranes with the experience of some of the best engineers, contractors and installation experts in the world.

* Our fuel containment berm covers are made from heavy duty 12oz tear and puncture resistant vinyl.
* They are heat-welded at the corners and seams for Leak-proof containment.
* Outlet drain fitting and plug supplied with each berm.
