Can a containment wall be constructed out of concrete blocks?

Yes. SPCC regulations do not mandate design specifications, rather, they are performance based. Therefore, a containment wall may be of any construction type, material, or design, assuming it meets the performance standards and requirements of Part 112. Regional offices can help determine whether individual containment equipment meets the performance standards of Part 112.
