Abstract
An oil containment system and installation method for a transformer mounted on a transformer pad, comprising a plurality of interlocking open-topped containment units. Each of the containment units having a base, a sump formed with two vertically-aligned sidewalls, a first end, and a second end. The sidewalls have support struts extending across the sump and a grate member. At least one of the ends includes a connecting member or a receiving member, the connecting member sized to be placed within the receiving member sized to interlock adjacent containment units. A discriminative outlet is disposed within an opening in the sidewall and includes a filtration media for adsorbing oil from a fluid and subsequently blocking oil flow through the discriminative outlet. The interlocking containment units are secured to the transformer pad around a peripheral edge to restrict the migration of oil to an outside portion of said oil containment system.
