Spill Containment

Equipment that captures leaks and spills before they reach the floor, drains, or ground — containment sumps and pallets for drums and totes, containment berms, and related products. UltraTech is the primary line in this collection.

EPA spill prevention rules and local fire codes apply to petroleum and chemical storage above certain thresholds, commonly 660 gallons under federal SPCC rules with lower thresholds in some states and municipalities. Check with the local fire marshal and applicable EPA requirements for your facility.

A common requirement is containment rated for 110 percent of the largest single container's volume, though the applicable rule depends on your jurisdiction and the material stored. Confirm the requirement that applies to your facility rather than assuming the general figure.

A platform that holds drums or totes above a captured volume below, so a leak drains into the sump rather than onto the floor. Models are sized by the number and size of containers they hold, such as 275 and 550 gallon tote sizes.

It covers hoses and cables running across a floor so they are protected from traffic and do not create a trip hazard. It is a shop safety and housekeeping product rather than a containment product, but appears alongside them in this line.

Correct — The UltraTech spill containment collection contains the same products under the brand name. Either reaches the same items, so browse whichever organization is easier for you rather than looking for products unique to one.

Start from what you store, in what container size and quantity, and what the applicable regulation requires for your facility. Then match a containment product rated for that volume and compatible with the material. Alamo can help identify a configuration once you have confirmed the local requirement.
