Once wall package corners are pinned and marked, the Bobcat operator begins spreading base screenings (aggregate) below the geotextile matting and liner.

While crew members are measuring containment placement, the Bobcat operator begins to
unload wall package.

Once base screenings are spread, the crew quickly re-paints the orange lines while the Bobcat aligns the roll of geotextile matting to be rolled out below liner.

The crew rolls out the geotextile matting while the Bobcat operator sets the liner in place to be unfolded above the geotextile.

Once the geotextile matting is placed, the crew begins unfolding the liner.

Laying out the geotextile and unfolding the liner may not be possible on windy days.

The crew (with the assistance of the Bobcat operator) begin unloading and laying out the wall panels and slide in legs.

The slide in leg connections saves substantial costly time and labour – NO nuts and bolts.

Wall set-up with drop pin panel connections saves substantial costly time and labour – NO nuts and bolts.

While wall panels are being setup, the galvanized ridge pieces are placed into position to secure top mount liner as it is being unfolded.

Once wall set-up is complete, unfold remaining liner over wall and secure with ridge cap.

Once liner is fully secured with ridge cap, the excess located outside of the containment is trimmed, picked up and disposed.

While ridge cap is being fastened and liner trimmed, the Bobcat operator starts to spread screenings above liner.

One end wall is left open until Bobcat work inside containment is complete.

When required, crew measures for location installs Sting (sand) door(s).

Completed system complete with crossover stairs and sting doors.

Berm Wall Setup Instructions:

		1.	Clear and level area (transit level) required to place properly and set-up secondary containment system.

		2.	Mark out containment area berm with paint or stakes to determine actual placement or foot print of the containment wall package.

		3.	Place 2" - 6" of screen sand (wash sand) or non-woven geotextile over containment ground area to protect liner. Sand depth is dependent on ground conditions (clay, top soil, rocky, etc.) and whether or not geotextile will be laid under liner as well as liner thickness.

		4.	Carefully unfold liner ensuring it is wrinkle free and centered in the containment area on sand or geotextile.

		5.	Place 2" - 6" of screen sand and non-woven geotextile if required over containment liner for protection leaving approximately 3' of uncovered liner around the perimeter of the containment wall. Fold liner inward to ensure it does not get damaged while setting up the wall panels.

		6.	Place the steel containment wall panels face down around the perimeter of where the berm will stand. Place the panels in such a way that when the wall is setup, the outside of the panel will be directly on the actual berm foot print as marked.

		7.	While the panels are face down, slide each of the legs into the wall clips until the top of the leg reaches the top of the wall.

		8.	Stand the panels up carefully, ensuring the legs do not slide out and the outside of the panel is in line with the berm foot print as marked.

		9.	Connect all adjoining panels with 3 locking drop pins.

		10.	Continue around the perimeter until the entire system is erected and square.

		11.	Fold liner towards wall panels ensuring it falls into corners with a loose fit. Minimize folds and creases.

		12.	Take liner up and over the berm walls. The corners will require extra attention - they will have to be carefully folded compared to wrapping a present.

		13.	Take corner top ridge caps, two (2) – 4’-3” pieces, and place 90^o of each other and secure to the top of the wall using six (6) Hex Tek self-tapping screws, three (3) screws per corner piece. This will secure the liner in each corner once the liner has been folded properly.

		14.	Fasten the 8’-0” top ridge cap pieces to the top of the wall using four (4) Hex Tek self-tapping screws to secure the liner. Start from the corner ridge cap pieces outward. Custom size walls will require the top ridge cap to be field cut to fit properly. Cut ridge caps in such a manner the caps overlap the wall seams by no less than 2 feet.

		15.	Trim extra liner around exterior of ridge cap to ensure a neat appearance.
