About SpillBarrier Expert - Our Mission

Our Mission: Making Spill Containment Science Accessible

SpillBarrier Expert publishes educational information about spill containment barriers and environmental protection. The aim is to help readers identify questions to raise when planning, selecting and maintaining containment systems.

The resource is intended for facility managers, safety officers and people researching containment options. It is not a substitute for project-specific engineering or advice from the authority responsible for a facility’s requirements.

What We Cover

This site serves as an introduction to topics of spill containment barriers, including secondary containment berm design and materials selection, polyurea and polyurethane containment coatings, portable spill containment systems for emergency response, regulatory compliance under EPA SPCC and OSHA standards, soil and groundwater protection strategies, and maintenance and inspection protocols for containment systems.

Using This Resource

Check the current regulator guidance and the exact manufacturer documentation before relying on a technical claim. Requirements and chemical compatibility depend on the facility, stored material and selected system. Article publication does not establish professional certification or approval of a design.
