ABSTRACT:
A portable liquid spill containment has an endless containment wall fabricated from closed-cell foam that encircles a spill containment area and has an elastic memory that enables the material to recover its shape fully after each of repeated deformations. A top layer of elastomeric polymer compound is formed to the shape of the containment wall and is reinforced with woven fabric to provide a reinforced, liquid-impervious, seamless and foldless top membrane that lines the containment area and extends up and around the containment wall. A bottom layer of the same elastomeric polymer compound is united to the underside of the top membrane to encapsulate the containment wall therebetween. In use, the containment is positioned in an area where liquid to be contained is being handled. Wheeled vehicles, such as fuel delivery trucks, may enter the containment area simply by driving over the resiliently deformable containment wall. Any spills are contained within the confines of the containment wall. Prior to the vehicles exiting over the containment wall, the spilled liquid is removed.
