What Is a Bund – And Why Does Your Site Need One?
If you’ve ever stored drums or IBCs filled with hazardous liquids, chances are you’ve asked the question:
“Do I really need a bund?”
Short answer? Yes.
Long answer? It’s one of the easiest ways to avoid fines, mess, and safety headaches. Here’s why.
First – What Is a Bund?
A bund is a spill containment unit. Think of it like a safety tray – placed under drums or IBCs to catch leaks and spills before they hit the ground. They help you stay compliant, avoid environmental damage and keep your site clean.
They’re not just a “nice to have”. For many industries, they’re a legal requirement.
The Problem: Spills Happen – And They Cost You
Even the best equipment eventually leaks. Valves wear out. Containers crack. Refuelling gets messy. And once that liquid hits the floor, things get expensive.
Without proper bunding, you could face:
- Environmental fines
- Site downtime
- Slippery surface hazards
- Clean-up costs
- Damaged stock or equipment
And if you’re using steel bunds in harsh conditions? Rust and corrosion can creep in fast.
