Containment concrete keeps what's inside in. Whether it's fuel, chemicals, fertilizer, or process fluids, a containment structure has to hold up to the material it contains and meet the regulatory spec for the application.

What we build
- Secondary containment pads — for above-ground tanks, drum storage, and chemical areas
- Containment berms and walls — to direct spills and prevent migration
- Fuel island containment — for commercial fuel dispensing and fleet fueling
- Wash bays and rinse pads — with collection and drainage for wastewater
- Agricultural chemical storage pads — for fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide operations
- Industrial process containment — for manufacturing and processing facilities
What containment concrete has to do
A containment structure isn't just concrete with a lip on it. It has to:
- Hold the required volume — often 110% of the largest tank or 10% of total capacity, depending on regulation
- Resist the material being contained — chemical exposure, temperature, and long-term contact
- Stay sealed at cold joints — monolithic pours or waterstops where joints are unavoidable
- Drain or pump correctly — with slopes that keep liquid away from penetrations and toward collection points
- Meet regulatory specs — EPA, state, local, and industry-specific requirements
Note: Containment projects often involve regulatory review, engineered drawings, and inspection. We coordinate with engineers, consultants, and inspectors as part of the project.
