Secondary Containment Systems

Secondary containment systems are safety measures designed to contain spills or leaks from primary containers, such as tanks or drums, to prevent environmental contamination and hazards. They act as an additional barrier by trapping any leaking materials, typically involving containment berms, dikes, or lined areas that hold liquids if the primary container fails. These systems ensure that spills are confined and manageable, reducing the risk to people, property, and the environment. Proper secondary containment is essential in industries handling hazardous or liquid materials to meet safety and environmental regulations.
