Bunds can soon lose their resistance to contain constant drips and spillages through chemical erosion, accidental wall damage, deficient floor joints etc. Poor or incorrect construction of the bund can also allow spillages to easily penetrate the secondary containment area which is most commonly the wall to floor joint. This has Health & Safety implications, and the potential to contaminate the surrounding area and damage the environment which both in turn will affect profits.

Compliance to ISO 14001 also requires bunds to contain drips and spillages.

Government legislation was implemented in 2005 for all bunds which contain oil storage vessels. Regulations state that the secondary containment area should be impervious to oil and water, should the contents of the primary vessels be breached.

In our experience and with its proven track record, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is the most superior system for its effectiveness to contain liquids.

Our system will reinstate the integrity of the bund; it will cope with normal structural movement, is impact resistant and will provide a seamless long lasting maintenance free finish. Our lining system will breach any holes or cracks within the bund that paint on coatings simply cannot do.

Whilst our system is suitable for oils; it will also provide effective containment for the most aggressive chemicals.
