Why Choosing the Right IBC Bund Matters
If you’re storing liquids in bulk, spills are a real risk. It’s not about ‘if’ – it’s when. That’s why IBC spill containment pallets are so important. They catch leaks before they spread and cause problems. But not every pallet suits every situation. The wrong choice can lead to non-compliance or serious mess.
Make Sure It Meets the Capacity Rule
Australian spill compliance requires that your bund can hold at least 110% of the largest container stored on it. So if your IBC holds 1000 litres, your bund needs to handle 1100 litres – no less.
This rule isn’t just a recommendation. It’s a regulation. The good news? All Bunds Australia’s IBC bunded pallets are designed to meet or exceed these standards.
Match the Material to the Liquid
What’s being stored inside your IBC? If it’s oil, fuel, chemicals or other hazardous liquids, the material of your containment unit matters.
That’s where polyethylene bunds come in. They’re chemical-resistant, won’t corrode and can handle harsh conditions. Bunds Australia’s IBC units are all built with this in mind, so you can store and manage your liquids safely.
One IBC or Two? Choose the Setup That Fits
If you’re storing a single IBC, go with the Single IBC Bund. It’s compact, reliable and does the job.
Storing more than one? The Double IBC Bund gives you space for two IBCs side-by-side while still staying compliant. This saves floor space and keeps things tidy.
Don’t Forget the Weather Factor
If your IBCs are stored outside, you’ll need protection from the rain. Water filling your bund could leave it with no capacity to catch an actual spill.
Bunds Australia offers PVC covers and galvanised frames that keep your IBCs protected from the elements. It’s an easy way to stay compliant and prevent costly clean-up.
Make It Easy to Use
The best IBC bund is the one that makes life easier. Look for features like forklift pockets and removable grates. You’ll find these across Bunds Australia’s IBC range. They make cleaning simpler and allow for easy relocation around your site.
