How Much Does Bund Waterproofing Cost?
Bund waterproofing typically costs between £50 and £150 per square metre. The price mainly depends on the size of the area, complexity of the project, and materials used.
We employ various techniques, such as the application of epoxy resin or polyurethane coatings, which are selected based on their chemical resistance and durability. Additional factors such as surface preparation and access difficulties can also affect the cost.
For instance, a challenging terrain may necessitate specialised equipment like scaffolding or lifting gear, which can increase expenses. Compliance with standards such as BS 8007 for reinforced concrete structures ensures long-lasting results.

What Types of Bund Waterproofing Are Available?
We offer a range of bund waterproofing solutions, each suited to different needs and environments. Selecting the right technique is crucial for ensuring containment integrity and compliance with environmental regulations.
Liquid Membrane: Quick to apply and ideal for irregular surfaces, this method uses a self-levelling acrylic or polyurethane solution that conforms to unique geometries. It's suitable for both concrete and steel substrates.
Epoxy Coating: Durable and resistant to chemical spills, this option provides a tough, impermeable layer that enhances chemical resistance and can withstand extreme temperatures, making it perfect for industrial bunds handling hazardous materials.
PVC Lining: Offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness, using polyvinyl chloride sheets that are welded for a finish. This lining is excellent for areas where movement or vibrations may occur, maintaining waterproof integrity.
Cementitious Waterproofing: Suitable for water tanks and reservoirs, it creates a rigid barrier using cement-based compounds that penetrate concrete pores, offering robust protection against water ingress.

What Does Bund Waterproofing Cover?
Bund waterproofing works on a range of containment areas, including chemical storage facilities, water treatment plants, and fuel storage depots. We apply waterproofing techniques using materials such as epoxy coatings, polyurethane liners, and flexible membranes.
These materials are selected based on the specific needs of the facility, whether it requires chemical resistance, flexibility, or UV protection. The service is essential in environments with a high risk of liquid spillage, as it prevents leaks that could harm the surrounding environment.
Our process involves the initial assessment of the bund's condition, followed by surface preparation and material application using equipment like spray pumps and brushing tools. We adhere to industry standards such as BS 8102 for waterproofing of structures to ensure maximum efficacy.
Regular maintenance checks can be conducted to prolong the lifespan of the waterproofing, ensuring consistent protection. Contact us today to discuss your bund waterproofing needs.
How Long Does Bund Waterproofing Last?
A professionally applied bund waterproofing system can last between 10 to 20 years. The lifespan depends on factors such as the type of waterproofing method used, environmental conditions, and ongoing maintenance.
For instance, using bituminous coatings or polymer-modified cementitious coatings can affect longevity differently. Bituminous coatings, known for their water resistance and flexibility, can endure harsh weather changes, while polymer-modified cementitious coatings offer strong adhesion and durability in chemically aggressive environments.
Environmental conditions like temperature fluctuations and exposure to UV rays also play a vital role. Regular inspections and maintenance, such as sealing any cracks and ensuring proper drainage, are crucial to extending the system's effectiveness.
Scheduling biannual inspections allows for early detection of potential issues, helping maintain the integrity of the waterproofing system.
