By Christa Jarvis


Spill containment is a very serious concern for many workplaces, particularly those dealing with any type of hazardous material. This is done by using a variety of specially designed products that form barriers that prevent the substances from spreading and causing harm or contamination. A Throw N Go berm can be particularly useful in many such situations.

These products may be deemed necessary for a good many reasons. For starters, they keep containers holding materials that have the potential to be toxic, from mixing with others and having disastrous results. They are frequently utilized to keep substances such as gasoline, oil, acids and the like from contaminating the soil when they seep into the ground.

Both the employees and workplace equipment are as protected as the environment when these products are in use. This type of barrier is rated as one of the quickest and most convenient to deploy. Some of the factors that make them popular are their durability, portability, extreme resistance to caustic substances, lack of assembly required and near instant set up.

Products in this line are made of 30oz heavy duty fabric that is able to withstand hydrocarbons and most chemicals as easily as it handles water. They are compliant with all US requirements for this type of item. Their durable construction also makes them resistant to tears, rips and punctures due to rocks, nails and other sharp or abrasive substances.

Setting them up is as simple as unfolding the product and spreading it over the ground in the space that needs to be protected. After deployment, containers may be arranged within the enclosure or vehicles might simply be driven into the containment area because the sides lay flat and deflated. There are no rigid walls to put together and no hinges that might possibly break.

Accessories are pieces that can be used in conjunction with the basic barrier to increase effectiveness. Specialized tarps are recommended for use when the berms are to be placed on gravel or dirt, to add more protection against ground contamination. To reduce the chance that the berms will be worn down by vehicles being excessively being driven over them, track mats can be utilized.

Once the barriers are in place, the walls will remain flat until there is a substance that needs to be contained. As the fluid approaches the perimeter, the sides will automatically expand and rise in order to form a catch basin. Any 3/4 inch drain may be used to empty out the tubes so that they may be cleaned, dried, flattened, fold and prepared for their next assignment.

Another factor that makes this product an attractive type of containment, is its versatility. There are a variety of sizes available in both rectangular and squared formations with the capacity to hold anywhere between 206 and 5805 gallons of fluid. Both their convenient portability and the ease with which they are deployed, make this style the ideal choice for many workplaces at high risk for spills and leaks.
