Wherever chemicals are stored, there’s a job.
Spray-applied polyurea lines, seals and armors the containment structures that keep spills from reaching soil and water.
Six jobs you’ll do again and again.
Tank farm dikes & bunds
Concrete and block dikes around aboveground storage tanks are the bread and butter of containment work. Polyurea turns porous, cracked concrete into a continuous, impervious basin.
- Floors, walls, wall tops and penetrations in one seamless system
- Bridges existing hairline cracks and control joints
- Common at fuel terminals, bulk plants, farms and plants
Relining aging concrete containment
Decades-old containment often fails inspection because of cracks, spalls and open joints. Repair, prep and line it instead of demolishing and re-pouring.
- Crack, joint and spall repair before coating
- Minimal downtime compared to replacement
- Documentation for the facility’s compliance file
Foam-core containment berms
Where there’s no dike at all, spray a rigid foam berm directly on the slab or pad, then encapsulate it — and the floor — with polyurea. Fast, lightweight, no forms or concrete trucks.
- Ideal for transformer pads, generator sets and equipment
- Can include drive-over ramps for vehicle access
- Built and coated on-site, often in a day or two
Sumps, trenches & pits
Collection sumps, trench drains and pits see constant chemical contact and are hard to repair. Polyurea follows every contour and seals the joints that leak first.
- Treatment plants, process areas and wash bays
- Seals pipe penetrations and cold joints
- Fast cure reduces process shutdown time
Loading & unloading pads
Transfer areas are where most spills happen. Coated, curbed pads catch drips and hose failures from tank trucks and rail cars.
- Abrasion-resistant systems for truck traffic
- Slip-resistant textures for worker safety
- Curbs and drive-over berms in the same system
Drum, tote & container storage
Chemical storage rooms, hazmat lockers and warehouse aisles need a sealed floor and curb that can hold a leak until it’s cleaned up.
- Seamless cove from floor to wall
- Easy-to-clean, light-reflective finishes
- Ideal add-on to warehouse floor projects
