Expert bund lining and repair services to prevent leaks and ensure containment integrity.
We guarantee your bund will contain any fluids in the event of a catastrophic spillage or failure to your primary containment.
A bund is a liquid containment facility built around a storage vessel and is typically made from concrete and mortar. The purpose of a bund is to contain leaks and spillage from tanks and pipes. Bunds are often lined with a protective coating on the inside via a bund lining.
Bund linings are used to prevent flammable liquids from causing excessive damage.
The chemical industry has developed a range of protective linings that can hold up against aggressive chemicals. These range from epoxies to polyurethanes, vinyl and polyesters. Employing the right bund lining adds decades to the lifetime of the underlying concrete.
The bunds are exposed to tough conditions and continued exposure to oils, chemicals and other liquids can make them crack, corrode, leak or become contaminated. Thus, bund repairs become a necessity.
A GRP bund lining is extremely durable and requires minimal maintenance. It works effectively for more than two decades. It is also non-corrosive and can withstand all chemicals from oils and diesel to sulphuric acid.
GRP bund lining offers several advantages as a tank and bund lining material:
Bund repairs should focus on ensuring the structural integrity of the bund. It should provide a clean, dry and contaminant-free surface to maximise the adhesion of the resin. GRP bunds are an ideal solution for all industries which need an application geared toward spill containment as they are cost-effective and lightweight linings.
