Secondary containment

HDPE for Secondary containment

The term secondary containment refers to any temporary or emergency containment system for a product or substance that is already retained by a primary system.

Emergency containment systems

The classic example of a secondary containment system is the waterproofing of spill pools built around large tanks in the oil industry. This creates a safety system that guards against environmental disasters caused by surface run-off of highly contaminating liquids in emergencies, with the potential to affect large areas of land and even reach the level of underground water.

Choose our safe containment barriers

By definition, a secondary containment system should never be needed and should only ever have to operate for a short period time (e.g. hours or days). As such, it does not require extreme durability in terms of impermeability to the retained substance, a requirement that would increase costs without any financial benefit.
