Volvo R-11 and the International R-11 Aircraft Refueling Tankers are used by the Air Force to provide transport capabilities for re-supply of aircraft’s and other vehicles. More specifically, the R-11 Refuel Tanker is used to provide a rapidly deployable mobile fueling station for the Air Force. When dealing with a primary vessel containing such a large capacity of fuel, spill containment should be a primary consideration for the safety of personnel and the environment. Whether for deployment or for storage on base, Containment Corp provides several spill containment systems for R-11 Refueler containment:

Permanent to Long-Term Spill Containment Systems for R-11 Refuelers

Rapid Deploying Spill Containment Systems for R-11 Refuelers

Our standard Stinger Berm size for containing R-11 Aircraft Refuelers is 12′ x 60′ x 1’H. Stinger Berms are constructed of XR-5 fabric material. XR-5 is highly chemical resistant and extremely puncture and tear resistant. Stinger Berms are considered soft systems cause the fabric construction allows it to be folded up and stored or deployed as needed. Below are two 12′ x 60′ x 1’H Stinger Berm options we recommend for a rapid deploying Spill Containment System for R-11 Aircraft Refuelers:

Snap-Foam Stinger Berm Spill Containment System for R-11 Aircraft Refuelers

The Snap-Foam Stinger Berm incorporates foam walls with heavy duty connectors. End walls utilize a two-way air-relief that allows the wall to lower and raise automatically for un-manned entry and exit.
