How Much Does GRP Bund Lining Cost?
GRP bund lining typically costs between £50 and £100 per m². Prices depend on various factors, such as the size and condition of the existing bund.
We use different grades of materials, including fire-retardant and chemical-resistant options, tailored to specific needs. The surface preparation involves cleaning, degreasing, and possibly repairing or priming the existing substrate to ensure optimal adhesion of the lining.
We follow standards like the BS 6150 for coating application, ensuring reliability and durability. Our experienced team uses specialised equipment, such as gel coat applicators and resin spray systems, to deliver precise installations.

What Industries Benefit from GRP Bund Lining?
GRP bund lining is essential for industries handling aggressive chemicals or hazardous substances. It offers superb resistance to corrosion and chemical attack, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of storage and processing areas.
Our clients include chemical manufacturers, oil and gas facilities, wastewater treatment plants, and pharmaceutical companies. Each uses our services to protect against potential leaks and spills, maintaining compliance with standards like ISO 14001, which governs environmental management.
We also cater to food and beverage processing plants, where GRP linings prevent contamination and ensure hygienic conditions. In addition to chemical resistance, our linings are durable and can withstand wide temperature ranges.
This resilience makes them well-suited for industries with varying operational environments. We ensure that all these facilities comply with environmental and safety regulations by providing robust containment solutions.

How Does GRP Bund Lining Work?
A typical GRP bund lining process involves several stages:
Surface Preparation: Thorough cleaning and preparation of the bund surface to ensure proper adhesion of the fibreglass liner. This typically includes degreasing, pressure washing, and removal of loose particles using abrasive blasting methods.
Application of Fibreglass Layers: Applying multiple layers of resin and fibreglass mat to build a strong, impermeable barrier. We use specific types of resins, such as vinyl ester or epoxy, depending on the chemical resistance required for the project. Each layer is rolled and compressed to eliminate air pockets before the next is applied.
Curing and Inspection: Allowing the lining to cure properly before conducting final inspections to ensure quality and durability. Curing times can vary depending on temperature and humidity but typically range from 24 to 48 hours. We use tools like ultrasonic thickness gauges to verify that the linings meet industry standards.
Each stage is crucial for optimal performance, providing a reliable containment solution against chemical leaks. For more information on how we can assist with your bund lining needs, contact us today.
How Long Does GRP Bund Lining Last?
GRP bund lining can last 20 to 30 years, depending on environmental conditions and maintenance. This longevity is due in part to the corrosion-resistant properties of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), which effectively withstands chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and solvents.
We use techniques such as filament winding and hand lay-up during installation to ensure the lining is applied with precision. Regular inspections, ideally following ISO 9001 standards, are crucial for monitoring wear and tear, while proper maintenance can involve surface cleaning and minor repairs to address any damages promptly.
These proactive steps help extend the lifespan of the lining, ensuring ongoing protection and compliance with safety regulations. For clients in industries like petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and waste management, this longevity translates to reliable containment and reduced risk of environmental contamination.
