Abstract
A modular containment system, primarily for secondary containment of potentially hazardous materials, includes a series of interconnectable berm members which can be interlocked together to form virtually any desired containment perimeter. A sheet of flexible plastic material is laid over the containment area, and extends over the shoulders of the perimeter structure as a liner for the containment area. The liner is secured to the top of the perimeter structure, such as by a snap-in tube arrangement. For high stability of the perimeter structure, the modular berm members are hollow, formed of plastic material, to be filled with water or sand, as well as having a low, wide profile.
