Do Your Bunds Comply?

There are many rules and regulations regarding the storage of liquids in packages (e.g. up to 1000L IBC's), but if you are looking for a portable bund solution for a non-permanent storage situation a general rule of thumb to assist in selecting the appropriate bund is that it should contain either 110% of the largest container, or 25% of the total stored, whichever is greater.

As shown in the table above, the 110% rule determines the minimum capacity for each storage situation in each example.

If you need a larger bund, say for several IBC's, our portable bunds are a possible option as they can be custom made to suit your requirements.  These bunds are extremely portable, for example a 1.2 x 1.2m bund fits in a 500 x 500 x150mm carry bag when not erected.  For further information on these please see our blog post "Portable spill bunds: the easy way to temporarily store drums".
