What Is Spill Containment?

Spill containment, also called secondary spill containment, is the practice of capturing and controlling leaked liquids so they do not reach floors, drains, soil, or waterways. For municipal spill containment, the focus is on three core products that work together in daily operations and emergencies: Spill Kits for fast response and cleanup, Spill Containment Pallets for compliant drum and IBC storage, and Spill Berms for mobile equipment, fueling areas, and temporary setups.


Using these solutions helps achieve Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) compliance for municipalities while protecting people and infrastructure in streets, shops, yards, and utility sites. Cities and public works teams often standardize on trusted options, including spill berms and pallets, to simplify training, streamline inspections, and ensure consistent performance. The goal is to select right-sized equipment, manage collected liquids responsibly, and pair gear with clear inspection and response procedures so spills are contained before they become incidents.

Applications for Spill Containment


  • Industrial and Chemical Facilities: Manufacturing plants, blending operations, and chemical processors handle a mix of raw materials, intermediates, and finished liquids every day. Typical exposures include drum and tote storage, line connections during batching, pump seals, and washdown water that can mobilize residues. Effective containment organizes work into clean, inspectable zones and prevents movement beyond the immediate operation. Our spill pallets and tote basins help keep floors dry, while floor berms and drain covers create quick, reliable boundaries around wet processes. Pairing these with absorbent socks/pads and simple shift-end logs helps supervisors catch and resolve small releases before they reach drains or sensitive equipment.

  • Oil and Gas Operations: Fuel storage, lube oil handling, and used oil consolidation at depots, terminals, and service sites see their highest risk during transfers. Fittings, filters, and hoses can seep under pressure or vibration. Good practice starts by defining the transfer zone and protecting nearby inlets. Our portable spill berms and track mats establish clear, weather-ready containment, and drain guards manage stormwater during rain events. Standardized connection steps, pre/post transfer inspections, and ready spill kits with overpack drums help crews isolate and recover liquids quickly. This keeps work on schedule while minimizing cleanup and preventing migration to soil and surface water.

  • Transportation and Logistics: Distribution centers, cross docks, railyards, and ports experience frequent handling of packaged liquids with constant vehicle traffic. Risks concentrate at dock plates, staging lanes, and trailer interiors where containers can shift or be damaged. Containment here focuses on keeping traffic lanes dry and intercepting leaks fast. Our dock spill kits, absorbent rolls for staging areas, and drip pans for trailer interiors help maintain clear access for forklifts and trucks. Posting simple reporting steps, staging response supplies at control points, and using mobile spill caddies shorten disruptions, so minor leaks are contained at the dock and don’t travel through the network.
