How does it work?
The bund is the catchment area around your fuel tank. Its purpose is to capture any leakage caused by a tank failure or an overfill of fuel. Traditional bunds are open and of brick construction. These often fill up with rainwater and other debris as well as becoming porous over time and leaking into the ground. Rainwater in this type of bund is classed as contaminated waste and should be disposed of.
New tanks are self-bunded and double skinned. These tanks can be located on a hard standing without further requirement for building a wall around them. This means the fuel tank is inside a second tank and not exposed to the atmosphere. This bund cannot fill with rain water or other debris and overfill will be routed into the bund via an internal breather. The outer tank has a capacity of 110% of the inner tank, for example, a 50,000 litre tank has a bund of 55,000 litres.
Bunded fuel tanks are more financially secure than underground tanks. In addition to them having a resale value, they can also be relocated between sites for long-term use.
All tanks meet the following specifications:
- Manufactured to BS799
- Conforming to EA – Oil storage regulations
Installation works:
- Pre-install survey and advice
- New tank installation offload and positioning
- Above and below ground pipework
- Electrical works
Our turnkey packages offer a complete solution for the installation and management of your equipment on site. Quite often, the tank will arrive as a package with all equipment pre-installed. In this instance, the tank can be off-loaded, positioned and ready for use within a couple of hours.
