Spill/Bund

Spill pallets and bunds contain liquid that escapes from drums and containers, and the capacity figure is the whole point: containment has to be justified against what sits above it.

That calculation depends on the rule your site works to. Some require the capacity of the largest single container; others a percentage of the total volume stored. With four full 205 litre drums on one bund those two rules give very different answers, and a bund that satisfies the first can fail the second.

Beecraft’s range runs from a 100 litre tray for up to four 25 litre containers, through one, two, three and four drum bunds, to an eight drum unit that also takes two 1000 litre IBCs. Options include four-way forklift access for units that get repositioned often, high-capacity sumps where the percentage rule applies, and low-profile versions where drums are rolled on by hand rather than lifted.

All are moulded in polyethylene rather than steel. Polyethylene resists the oils, solvents and cleaning chemicals that are usually what you are containing, and it has no internal corrosion path — a steel bund holding an aggressive liquid fails from the inside where nobody can inspect it.

Removable grids let the sump be inspected and emptied, which is what keeps the stated capacity real rather than theoretical.
