BUNDING
Hazardous liquids can be stored in containers
of various shapes and sizes, depending on
the industry. Unfortunately, no matter how
prepared you are, accidents still happen and
storage vessels including tanks, cans, drums
and IBCs can fail. It is important to consider
the potential risks that could arise, to ensure
people and the environment are protected
from a spillage.

Using secondary containment in the form of bunded stores, drip
trays or bunded flooring, provides a sump capacity for potentially
dangerous substances to be retained, in the event of a spill. This
provides a safer working environment and peace of mind of
containment should a vessel fail.
Spillcraft will assist to ensure the correct secondary containment
is provided, to meet regulations that determine the amount of
secondary containment you should have for liquids stored.
You must also ensure that if multiple containers are stored,
separate bunds must be used for incompatible liquids.
We provide a variety of bunding to suit a wide range of operational
needs and liquid storage, for both external and
internal use.
For emergency situations or short-term containment
requirements, such as excess stock holding, or during a
change-over of stock, we also offer the flexibility of our
Justrite Bunds. Whatever the need is, Justrite Bunds offer a
flexible solution to spill containment. They are quick and easy
to install whilst being tough and durable.
Secondary containment is an important part of spill safety
control processes and are designed to reduce worker
exposure to harmful chemicals, in the event of a spill, as
well as containing the liquid to prevent damage to your
business and the environment.

It is important to know that
you should have 110% sump
capacity of one container stored.
If there are multiply containers
then the sump capacity of the
bunding should be either 25% of
the total liquid stored or 110%
of the largest container stored,
whichever is the greater.
