ABSTRACT:
A device for building a berm to contain and absorb a leak or spill has a plurality of corner members each having an elongated member spaced there between. The elongated members are formed from a pliable strip having a vinyl housing. The housing has a hollow center provided longitudinally therein which is filled with an absorbent material such as an absorbent sock or mat. Openings are provided in the elongated members along the side of the housing nearer the spill or leak. The elongated members are sized and cut at the workplace to form a berm of sufficient size to meet the present spill containment problem. Once the side members and corner members have been selected and arranged, they are secured to the building floor by a caulking compound. Strapping material can then be applied, if necessary, to seal the joints between the corner members and the side members of the berm.
