shoulder?

Imposible sin contexto. ¿Es español de qué país? en Chile "berma" es "arcén" (o sea "shoulder" o "hard shoulder" según en qué inglés...) Pero es que no sabemos de qué estás hablando. ¿De una carretera?

Article describing perimeter berms

A sediment basin configuration that has been experimented with over the past few years in Charlotte is the perimeter berm. The perimeter berm basin provides protection along the periphery of a job site with weirs strategically placed and sized for drainage areas. This type of system is becoming a standard practice in Charlotte in lieu of the standard rectangular basin.
Note from asker:
