Primary Containment

Protect your site operating ability from potential shutdowns. Leaks or spills are a safety threat that you can mitigate with primary containment.Primary containment occurs when a geomembrane is in constant contact with the material being contained over the service life of the liner, preventing any accidental or uncontrolled release of contaminants into the environment. We provide innovative solutions to ensure your operations run efficiently and are environmentally sustainable.

  • Meet Stringent Regulations: Primary containment helps contain hazardous chemicals safely, meeting federal and local regulatory standards.

  • Improve Refinery Reliability: A properly installed primary containment system can prevent the shutdown of sites due to leaks or spills.

Secondary Containment

Your workers, the environment, and your site should not be in danger from spills or leaks. Keep safety a top priority with secondary containment.Secondary containment systems act as a second line of defense to prevent hazardous liquids from spilling or leaking and contaminating a job site and the surrounding environment. These systems typically consist of a specialized geomembrane liner and berm and, in many applications, never come into contact with the liquid it was designed to contain. We offer a growing line of specialty geomembranes specially formulated for various contaminants.

  • Cost-Efficient Cleanup: Secondary containment keeps spill material in a confined area, making clean-up less costly.

  • Reduces Liability Risk: Prevents damage to the surrounding environment and reduces worker exposure to hazardous materials.

  • Ensures Regulation Compliance: Various Federal laws and regulations are in place to ensure hazardous materials are handled correctly.

Fresh & Produced Water Storage

Development of most oil and gas wells includes fracturing with water, sand, and other agents injected at extremely high pressures. When the pressure is released, flowback water returns to the surface containing corrosive chemicals and brine from deep within the earth.This water must be captured and securely stored at the well pad until treated and properly disposed. Layfield’s high-performance geomembranes can contain flowback and formation water without degradation.

  • Offers Environmental Protection: Containment solutions to protect the area surrounding a fracturing site from contamination.

  • Economical Options Available: Above-ground frac tanks are mobile, reusable, quick to install, and can store large volumes of liquid.

  • Prevents Loss of Fresh Water: Offers temporary storage of onsite water resources during maintenance cycles.
