Permanent Bunding

Permanent Bunding is a low-profile retaining barrier that is fixed to the floor. It’s tall enough to contain a large spill, but still low enough so workers and industrial vehicles can pass over without restraint. 

It’s important to know that permanent bunding should not act like an obstacle, it should be able to exist without interfering with your daily activities. When you buy from Spill Station, you're investing in a design that is safe, while not getting in your way. 

Bunding is essential in certain industries as it prevents a liquid from exiting an area where a spill occurs, allowing for easy spill management. The liquid comes in contact with a barrier and this stops the spread, allowing for containment. 

Bunding allows for easy access, letting employees correctly address the spill and also ensures worker and environmental safety and compliance. Spill Station offers portable bunds, collapsible bunds and permanent bunds, always of the highest quality, 

Bunds are also sometimes referred to as secondary containment facilities, and to remain in line with the Australian standards, the bunds must be impervious to the content of the substance stored and contain 110% of the total content in the largest bund, or 25% of the total store in the bund.
