A two-drum spill deck is a containment solution specifically designed to safely store and handle drums containing hazardous liquids.
Design and Construction:
- Material: Usually constructed from durable polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) for chemical resistance and structural integrity.
- Capacity: Designed to hold two standard 55-gallon (208-liter) drums horizontally.
- Sump Capacity: Includes a sump area that exceeds regulatory requirements, typically holding at least 66 gallons (250 liters) of spilled liquid.
- Modularity: Some models feature modular design, allowing for easy expansion by connecting multiple spill decks to accommodate more drums.
Features:
- Removable Grates: Equipped with removable grates or decking to facilitate easy access for cleaning and inspection.
- Low Profile: Often designed with a low-profile height to ease loading and unloading of drums.
- Forklift Channels: Integrated channels or recesses to accommodate forklifts for easy movement and positioning.
- Leakproof: Designed to be leakproof to prevent spilled liquids from leaking out and contaminating the surrounding environment.
- Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to corrosion from chemicals and weather elements, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Usage and Applications:
- Industrial Settings: Ideal for use in warehouses, factories, and manufacturing facilities where drums of hazardous chemicals or liquids are stored.
- Compliance: Helps facilities comply with environmental regulations by providing secondary containment for drums, preventing spills from reaching floors, drains, or soil.
- Safety: Enhances workplace safety by reducing slip hazards and minimizing exposure to hazardous substances during drum handling and storage.
Benefits:
- Environmental Protection: Prevents accidental spills from causing environmental contamination and pollution.
- Cost Savings: Reduces cleanup costs associated with spills and avoids potential fines from regulatory non-compliance.
- Versatility: Can be used indoors or outdoors, depending on the specific model’s design and construction materials.
