Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a portable fluid containment pad and, in particular, a portable fluid containment pad adapted to support a drilling rig. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Hydro Engineering Inc. of Salt Lake City, Utah sells portable wash pads and fluid containment systems for use in cleaning heavy equipment under the brand name “Hydropad”. Hydropads are advertised as having a weight bearing capacity of up to 15,000 pounds per square foot. These weight limits are not sufficient to support the weight of an operating drilling rig. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] What is required is a portable fluid containment pad suitable for use to support drilling rigs.

[0004] According to the present invention there is provided a portable fluid containment pad, which includes a pan having an interior fluid containment cavity with a bottom, opposed sides, and opposed ends. At least two structural load bearing beams are provided which rest upon the bott...
