👉 Containing engineering is a specialized field focused on designing and implementing systems, structures, or processes that safely isolate, prevent, or mitigate the release of hazardous materials, energy, or other potentially dangerous substances into the environment or human-populated areas. This discipline involves a multidisciplinary approach, integrating principles from chemical engineering, materials science, environmental science, and safety engineering to ensure that containment barriers—such as tanks, pipelines, storage facilities, and waste management systems—are robust enough to withstand various operational stresses, including extreme conditions, mechanical failures, and human errors. The primary goal is to protect public health, the environment, and infrastructure by effectively containing and managing hazardous substances until they can be safely disposed of or neutralized.
