English term or phrase: bermed
Upon arrival at the rail terminal at the concentrator site, diesel will be off-loaded and stored in a lined and bermed fuel storage site. A pipeline will deliver the diesel from this storage site to the truck shop and maintenance yard for refueling of heavy mine and transportation vehicles. The pipeline alignment is shown in Drawings 000-P-505 and 000-P-506 and will be approximately 7,5 km long. Diesel supply to the refueling area will consist of an internally lined pipe, installed as an overland pipeline.

con berma // con muro de contención
Explanation:
Los grandes depósitos de combustibles deben ser rodeados de un muro de contención (berma) de tal manera que si se incendia o se derrama el contenido de combustible líquido, éste queda dentro de los muros.

Webster’s on-line dictionary,
Spanish - berme English - berme
Meaning - Muro de contención.

De la DRAE, berme: muro o talúd protector que rodea una construcción.

Sugiero "Muro de contención" por ser una expresión más moderna y usual.

Muro de contención aparece en varias pgs. web relaciónado con combustibles líquidos, refinerías, incendio, depósitos y seguridad.
