Spill Berms Are Extremely Portable

By Andrea Davidson


One thing that makes spill berms so useful is of course the fact that they work so well. Sure, they do the job they were made for and they do it really well. Even so, one thing that makes them so much more valuable, especially when you really need one, is the fact that they can be brought to any location on the globe! The portability of this product is what makes them so great!

Spill berms are made from heavy rubber or plastic, sometimes both. Their primary purpose is to redirect the flow of water or keep the flow of water restricted to a certain area. Their solid and sturdy construction, as well as how well they work has made these little tools very useful on the job site. The variety of uses is almost endless.

For example, while they could be used to keep water flowing into a drain when heavy flow would otherwise cause it to overflow, the same berm could also be used to surround a large bucket or barrel that you might expect to spill or leak upon opening. These can be placed around things that you might suspect of a leak while it sits overnight.

Some of them have been used to make a long slide down a hill or retention pond. Sort of like the ever so popular slip-n-slide from our childhood. The various uses for these products is unbelievable. It is made even easier for people to do when these are so easy to obtain. It does not take much to order them online. Just an Internet connection and a credit card.

The great advantage of these products is their extreme portability. They are extremely easy to transport anywhere. They can be rolled up or packaged for transport and some of the larger ones may even be assembled on-site if necessary. There is nothing else that can do the job and be transported as easily. They can even be placed in the trunk of a car when other similar tools need a truck.

This would be necessary if the water flow is heavy and fast. Nobody wants the berm to fail because then you would really have a mess on your hands. They are also made to handle certain chemical spills as well. Depending on the type of chemical, they will use a specific material that can come into contact with the chemical and not fail.

In other cases they might place the berms around the mats on the floor to keep the water contained because perhaps the drain is right there on the floor. If the berms were not used, the water would continue to flow elsewhere and would never make it to the drain under the mats where it is supposed to flow. This way the water can drain properly.

Spill berms are manufactured in various shapes and sizes for a reason. You will never know what situation might present itself or what you will need it for. The flow velocity and the type of liquid will dictate the materials needed and for this reason a large variety of selections is available.
