Like us, you probably use large volumes of liquids in your operations, and those commonly come in 55-gallon drums or other large volume containers. But often we do not anticipate these containers leaking or chemicals spilling, but we should. Proper drum spill containment can come in many forms.

Spill berms… barriers… bunds… dikes… How are you supposed to sort through it all and determine the best solution for containing potential spills in your workplace? While it can be confusing weeding through the various options, we’ve successfully helped people just like you find the right solution at the best price. This article will help you evaluate your options and explore the various types of containment products and how they each function to contain spills.

With any construction project, one thing is inevitable: throughout the process, you’re going to have a lot of debris on your hands. However, some materials are more dangerous than others. When contractors are building new structures or dismantling old ones, how can they keep themselves and those nearby safe from hazardous debris?

The federal government, EPA, OSHA, and states have all passed laws and regulations that place strict requirements on businesses concerning the containment of certain hazardous liquids and chemicals, such as oil and gasoline. The goal aimed at preventing accidentally spilled or leaked hazardous materials from contaminating the environment, including soil and groundwater, and from harming human health. The rules are very precise requirements for calculating secondary container volume requirements based on the size of the primary storage container, but, fortunately, you can use a secondary containment calculator that accommodates various job site setups.

Commercial and industrial generators can produce ignitable, corrosive, reactive and/or toxic waste from spillage, harming people and the environment. For industrial plants and refineries, oil and gas services, environmental field services, construction, and equipment rental - using a generator spill containment system is a critical requirement for governmental compliance, employee safety, and corporate social responsibility. Fortunately, there is a variety of generator spill containment portable berm and long-term berm options that provide effective containment solutions at facilities.

Chemicals play a vital role, either directly or indirectly, in many workplaces including industrial plants, refineries, laboratories, agriculture and construction sites. But mishandled, these chemicals can wreak havoc on your operations and expose you to environmental fines or penalties. PacTec has been manufacturing chemical spill containment solutions since the 1980’s and has helped thousands of businesses store their chemicals to properly mitigate spills to prevent ground/soil contamination, employee hazards and EPA fines.

Depending on the industry you are in, you may have encountered the term FIBC bags at some point.

Back in 1736, Benjamin Franklin proclaimed that “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Clearly, he knew that preventing the cause was better than dealing with the effect, in this case fires in Philadelphia.

Since PacTec began over 30 years ago, significant innovations in flexible waste packaging have occurred, creating a large shift in the way waste generators safely transport and dispose of problematic waste streams. You’re no longer restricted to using bulky, heavy, expensive, and difficult-to-manage rigid containers. While rigid containers may have their place in certain applications, the mindset has shifted towards the safety and reliability of flexible waste packaging for most industrial and nuclear waste types.

Let’s put to rest some common misconceptions about flexible waste packaging.

Realizing significant cost savings in packaging hazardous wastes for disposal by utilizing FIBCs in lieu of rigid IBCs. When considering packaging methods for hazardous wastes, many people focus on just one number - the cost of the disposal unit itself. This is often shortsighted, as significant cost savings can be realized in many other places. A holistic approach should be utilized in properly evaluating hazardous waste disposal options.
