The Ultra-Containment Berm, Modular Model, also known, affectionately, as the Gorilla Berm has the ability to do something that none of our other Berms can... change its dimensions.

By using 6-foot long coated, foam blocks for its wall structure, the Berm can very quickly and easily be resized to other shapes and sizes to meet additional requirements.

The Modular Model Ultra-Containment Berm uses polymer-coated, triangular shaped pieces of foam to provide a sidewall structure.  Once all of the foam pieces have been arranged (typically in a square or rectangle), the area is covered with a heavy-duty PVC material.  The compressible foam can be driven over without being damaged so tanker trucks, oilfield vehicles, and other equipment can be loaded into the containment area ensuring the surrounding area is safe from any environmental harm.

A molded-in slot in the top of all of the foam pieces is designed for rebar or steel rod and secures the PVC material in place during day-to-day operations.

"Our customers came to us with a need for a spill containment solution that was flexible and adaptable enough to meet the ever-changing requirements of the oilfields," said Global Sales Director, Tim McGrath.  "Finding a solution was our top priority.  So our team designed the one-of-a-kind Modular Containment Berm that fit the bill perfectly." The Ultra-Containment Berm, Modular Model has been successfully deployed by hundreds of customers worldwide.

UltraTech has received more than sixty patents over its twenty-five-year history for products ranging from specialized containers for the Department of Energy to its line of spill pallets to a portable, battery-operated welder.  Find out more about UltraTech's patented products.
