Ultra Berm Repair Kit

Ultra Berm Repair Kit Applications & Ultra Berm Repair Kit Installation

Designed to be easy to carry and kept on hand, the containment berm repair kit has everything needed for basic repairs of tears, punctures and other containment berm repair needs. It is best to stay on top of any maintenance and repair needs for your spill berm by addressing these punctures or rips before they become larger issues. This will extend the life of your spill containment berm.

There are also some preventative measures that we recommend that will make a difference in avoiding damage to your spill berm:

• Prevent puncturing the spill berm by placing a protective ground tarp beneath the berm.
• Protect drive through spill berms from wear with track belts.
• Protect the edges of the spill berm from damage caused by hoses with the Ultra Hose Stand that bridges the berm's sidewall without placing pressure on the berm.

How to use the Ultra Repair Kit:

• Step 1: Clean the repair area

Using soap and water, gently clean the area requiring repair. A solvent such as MEK or Acetone can be used for further cleaning. Using a cloth soaked in water or solvent, clean the area to be repaired to remove any foreign materials. If the soiling in the repair area is excessive, a wire brush maybe be carefully and gently used to loosen the pollutants. For the repair to be successful, the repair area must be dry and clean.

• Step 2: Prepare the surface

Air-dry the area to be repaired with a hot air gun prior to sealing by holding at a distance of about 12 inches for 10 - 15 seconds.

• Step 3: Apply the patch

Note: We recommended before attempting to patch your Ultra-Containment Berm, two pieces of the patch material be practice welded to ensure proper heat gun settings and pressure application. Knowledge of CP2K welding is required of personnel performing the work. Plan to patch on both sides of the damaged are.

• Extend the patch a minimum of 4 inches in all directions from the damage and cut the patch with rounded corners.
• Seam the patch to the original material using hot air, overlap the two sheets and hold the tip of the heat gun so that heat contacts both surfaces simultaneously, from the overlapped contact area of the two pieces.
• Apply pressure to the top and bottom surfaces for the full seam width while the welded areas are in a melt condition. Properly applied heat and pressure will cause a visible bead of material to be extruded from both welded edges.
• Weld performance checks are recommended on a daily basis to verify weld integrity. A test weld is successful if a peel test produces a ripped base fabric rather than a coating peel.
