What Services Does Bund Lining Systems Provide?

We offer a range of services tailored to the needs of containment and protection, ensuring the integrity of your facilities and compliance with environmental regulations.

Chemical Resistant Bund Lining: Providing durable protection against a wide variety of corrosive chemicals, we use materials such as epoxy and polyurethane. These materials are selected based on chemical compatibility, resisting aggressive substances in industries like petrochemical and pharmaceuticals.
GRP Bund Lining: Using Glass Reinforced Plastic to create strong, long-lasting protective barriers, we employ hand lay-up or spray-up techniques that conform to any shape or size. This method is ideal for sectors like wastewater management due to its resilience and adaptability.
Bund Waterproofing: Ensuring fluids are securely contained without seeping into surrounding earthworks, we apply systems like polyurethane and cementitious coatings. These provide a resilient seal to protect both the infrastructure and the environment.

Our expertise in bund lining solutions ensures your operations continue smoothly with minimal risk of environmental contamination.

When Is Bund Lining Needed?

Bund lining is essential when facilities manage hazardous liquids that pose risks of leaks or spills. It's often necessary in industries dealing with chemicals or oils, such as petrochemical plants, pharmaceuticals, and food processing units, where even small leaks could cause significant harm.

Bund lining is particularly needed when existing containment areas start showing signs of wear, such as cracking or erosion, which compromise their integrity.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) are among the materials used to provide a durable barrier against these substances, helping to prevent contaminants from seeping into the ground.

Additionally, we adhere to standards such as BS 8007 and EN 1992-3, which guide the design and construction of liquid-retaining structures, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

By addressing these needs, bund lining effectively prevents environmental damage and legal non-compliance, safeguarding both the facility and the surrounding ecosystem. If your facility requires bund lining, contact us for more information on how we can assist.

How Does Bund Lining Systems Work?

We follow a proven process to ensure each project meets the highest standards. This structured approach is designed to address various containment challenges across different industries.

Consultation: We assess your facility’s needs by evaluating factors such as chemical exposure levels, potential environmental risks, and existing structural conditions. From this, we recommend suitable lining solutions that meet your operational and safety standards.
Design: Tailoring designs to your specific containment requirements, we use CAD software for precise planning. This stage includes determining the appropriate materials, such as epoxy resin or polyurethane coatings, based on their resistance properties and expected load conditions.
Preparation: Preparing surfaces involves cleaning and repairing them. Surface profiling is done to achieve the correct texture, ensuring maximum adhesion and long-term durability. This may include techniques like abrasive blasting or mechanical grinding.
Installation: Implementing systems using industry-grade materials such as fibre-reinforced plastics or acid-resistant tiles. Installation is performed by our certified technicians using precision equipment to ensure a uniform application.
Final Inspection: We conduct a thorough inspection to ensure the lining meets the necessary quality standards. This includes checking for any leaks, verifying thickness with ultrasonic gauges, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations such as BS 8007 and ISO 45001.

By employing these steps, we offer solutions that protect your operations and the environment. Contact us today to discuss your bund lining needs.
