Secondary Containment

Leaks and spills of hazardous chemicals can contaminate soil and groundwater, and result in the need for costly site remediation. Proposed new legislation would allow ministry officers to impose large penalties for corporations and individuals who allow such unlawful spills. In addition, companies are being strongly encouraged to go beyond basic environmental compliance and to be proactive in their approach to containment of hazardous chemicals. The cost of secondary containment is typically a fraction of the expense incurred in the clean-up and remediation of one major spill.

With over 50 years of combined applicator experience, Inscan is a leading supplier of a variety of high-performance secondary containment linings and membrane systems. From simple concrete coatings, to troweled or fiberglass-reinforced lining systems, to high-performance geosynthetic membranes, Inscan has the knowledge, experience, and equipment to provide a “turnkey” installation from start to finish. From abrasive blast preparation (including dust extraction via a 20,000 cfm mobile dust collector), through skilled application of the lining product, to completion and testing of the finished system, Inscan has the expertise and equipment to do the job right – the first time.

Having built long-term relationships with some of the industry’s leading product manufacturers, we are able to recommend and supply the best solution for a wide variety of applications. From bulk fuel storage dikes to some of the most aggressive acid, alkali, salts, and organic solvent containment areas, a system is available to meet your needs.

Building a new secondary containment area?

Inscan has developed a semi-permanent berm system for indoor secondary containment applications. This field-fabricated, fiberglass-reinforced berm exhibits excellent chemical resistance and can be custom designed to suit any configuration. The berm is tough enough for foot traffic, yet, when your process or requirements change, it can be removed or reconfigured more quickly and easily than a poured concrete berm. Contact us for details.
