Warehouse Spill Control
It's inevitable; eventually during the course of warehouse operations, a drum will tip, rupture, or get punctured. The contents are rapidly spilling onto the warehouse floor and in danger of contaminating other materials stored in the area. What to do now? A "spill dyke" is your best temporary solution to contain the spill. These dykes are basically urethane or plastic diverters that can be connected together to contain a spill and keep it from spreading. Many of these dykes are built to form a seal on smooth surfaces, while others are designed to be used on rough surfaces such as blacktop. All of them are non-absorbent, and come in a variety of sizes, some as tall as six inches. One important use for a spill blocker is to protect drains when environmentally damaging materials are leaking. A spill dyke will prevent your company from becoming liable for allowing oil, paint, and other prohibited substances to enter a local drainage system.
