A modular container wall unit (10) and containment system formed therewith, each wall unit (10) being comprised of a central panel (12) having wing-like panels (20, 22) integrally formed on opposite sides thereof and angularly intersecting the plane of the central panel (12) at an angle such that, when the wings of second and third modular units are affixed to the wings (20, 22) and/or central panel (12) of the present unit, and one or more like units are in turn affixed to the second and third units, at least one chamber is formed which, when combined with a bottom panel and a top panel, defines the containment system. The central panel (12) of each unit (10) is designed to include recessed areas adapted to mate with the wing panel of another modular wall unit (10) to facilitate the joining of the units as well as the expansion of the system to form an adjacent cell or chamber. Furthermore, the modular wall unit (10) is configured to withstand lateral loads and maintain system integrity. Alternatively, the wall units (10) may be joined in series to form a barrier or retainer wall.
