Abstract
The fluid containment system comprises a plurality of interlocking wall sections, each having a male connector at one end and a mating female connector at an opposite end for connection to the male connector of an adjacent wall section in alignment therewith having a similar configuration. A plurality of connector sections are also provided which connect the wall sections at right angles to one another for forming a perimeter about a selected area to contain spilled fluid within the selected area. A liner is provided which spans the selected area and is secured to the wall sections about the perimeter of the selected area by a suitable capping system. The connector sections permit the selected area to be divided by the wall sections into plural divided and contained zones for protecting various different fluid storage systems within the selected area against undesirable spillage and possible mixing with one another.
