An ultra containment wall is a cutting-edge method of containment designed to stop hazardous materials leaking into the environment. In this article we will investigate its history, design, construction, advantages and disadvantages; their various applications as well as future developments. Ultra Containment Walls Containment measures have long been employed to contain hazardous materials. Early containment methods included ditches, dams, and walls constructed from earth or stone. With modern technology's advances, ultra containment walls have proven more effective and advanced forms of containment. Types of Ultra Containment Walls Ultra containment walls can be constructed out of various materials, such as concrete, steel and composites. While concrete walls tend to be best-suited for their durability and strength, steel containment walls have more seismic activity-resilient qualities that steel options cannot match; finally composite ultra containme...
