Services

At Spill Plan Man, we provide specialized engineering Spill Plan Engineers Arkansas services to ensure your facility is compliant, protected, and prepared. Our team has deep, real-world experience in SPCC compliance, secondary containment design, field surveying, and EPA inspection readiness. We take a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to help you meet federal and state regulations without wasting time or money.

Below is a detailed look at the services we offer.

Secondary Containment System Certification

Is your secondary containment system large enough? If a tank leaks, the containment structure must be capable of holding the entire volume of the largest tank plus any rainfall that could accumulate before cleanup occurs. More importantly, it must be sufficiently impervious so that the spill doesn’t escape into the environment.

At Spill Plan Man, we evaluate and certify secondary containment systems to ensure they meet EPA SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure) requirements. Whether you’re operating a large industrial site or a remote oil production area, we tailor our Spill Plan Engineers Arkansas evaluation approach to fit your specific facility layout and risk profile.

Containment Capacity Evaluation

We specialize in determining whether your containment system has enough capacity to handle a worst-case spill. Our team uses the most accurate and cost-effective methods available, customized to the size and complexity of your site.

Large Facilities

For large operations like refineries, chemical plants, or tank terminals, we rely on UAV (drone) LiDAR technology to measure containment volumes. This method offers several advantages over traditional surveying:

• Speed: A 100-acre site can be flown in under an hour.
• Accuracy: We achieve vertical accuracy within ±½ inch.
• Safety: Drone surveying limits the risk of slips, trips, and falls, and doesn’t interfere with your daily operations.
• Data Density: We collect roughly 400 data points per square meter across the site.

Our team flies two missions: one for high-resolution LiDAR data and another for aerial imagery. Clients love the laminated aerial photo we provide afterward—it’s a great addition to the operations office wall.

Back-office data processing takes a few days due to the sheer size of the datasets we collect. We’ve invested in the right hardware and software to process large volumes of information without decimating accuracy. In the past, reducing data density caused important features—like low points in earthen berms—to be missed. We’ve since learned the value of keeping the full dataset and double-checking all potential spill paths, even in obscured areas like under pipe racks or walkways.

If drone usage is restricted due to airport proximity or bad weather, we employ alternate surveying methods to ensure you still get reliable results.

Small Facilities

For smaller sites, like single bermed tank batteries or isolated facilities in pastures, we use laser level or motion sensor tools that are not reliant on GPS. These Spill Plan Engineers Arkansas instruments provide exceptional vertical accuracy and are simple to deploy.

Field data is collected and analyzed on-site, usually in under 90 minutes. In many cases, we physically stake the berm elevation so that a contractor can come in and add fill to meet containment volume requirements—no need to interpret a CAD drawing. This hands-on, practical approach saves time and avoids confusion.

We’re often more affordable than traditional Spill Plan Engineers Arkansas land surveyors because we don’t focus on producing contour maps for aesthetics. Instead, we stick to what matters—making sure your containment works when it counts.
