A 10,000-Gallon Reminder of Why Secondary Containment Matters. 💧✈️

The recent jet fuel spill impacting the Flint River and the City of Griffin’s water supply is a sobering example of how a single mechanical failure can escalate into a community-wide crisis. According to reports, a failed sight glass on an underground pump allowed thousands of gallons of fuel to enter the stormwater system.

Incidents like this highlight why Secondary Containment isn't just a regulatory "checkbox"— it is the frontline defense for our environment and our drinking water.

At BCI, we are committed to helping facilities prevent these "what-if" scenarios before they become headlines.

A recent diesel fuel release in Spartanburg, SC underscores an important reality for fuel storage and transfer facilities: secondary containment systems are critical, but they must be properly designed, installed, and maintained.

According to reports, fuel escaped due to a leak associated with secondary containment infrastructure, reinforcing that containment isn’t just about having a system in place, it’s about ensuring every component performs as intended.

At BCI, we design engineered secondary containment solutions to help facilities control spills, protect waterways, and support SPCC compliance when incidents occur.

Effective containment helps limit environmental impact before a spill becomes a larger cleanup event.

❄️ Stop winter leaks before they damage equipment and disrupt operations—without shutting down your facility.

https://hubs.la/Q040yV9c0

Snow, sleet, and ice can put unexpected stress on roofs, pipes, and ceilings, leading to sudden indoor leaks. Leak diverters provide a fast, reliable way to capture and redirect water away from people, equipment, and critical areas until permanent repairs can be made.

Stay prepared when winter weather strikes.

❄️ Snow & Ice Incoming This Weekend ❄️
Much of the U.S. is expected to see winter weather, are your spill containment areas ready?

Snow, ice, and freezing temps can compromise containment systems if they’re not properly prepared. To help weather-proof your containment areas, consider these best practices:

✔️ Inspect containment berms for cracks, wear, or gaps before temperatures drop
✔️ Ensure proper drainage to prevent ice buildup and overflow
✔️ Secure liners and sidewalls to prevent shifting under snow load
✔️ Remove snow and ice promptly to maintain capacity and compliance

At Basic Concepts, our flexible spill containment solutions are designed to perform in harsh conditions—helping you stay protected, compliant, and operational all winter long.

Be proactive before the storm hits.
