More information about Portable Containment Bunds
Portable containment bunds offer a great tool for hazardous waste and spill management, especially when traditional rigid spill pallets are not feasible due to their size and inflexibility. These portable bunds are widely used in outdoor applications such as forestry, civil engineering, vehicle maintenance, machinery cleaning, and any other area that may be exposed to potential spills.
Constructed from welded PVC with metal support brackets, portable bunding is highly durable yet lightweight and easy to maintain. With the ability to effectively contain liquid runoff and prevent environmental contamination, portable bunding is an effective mobile secondary containment option suitable for many applications.
All our portable bunds are available with fast and free delivery across mainland UK. For more information or advice, contact our sales and customer service team.
What are Portable Containment Bunds for?
We must protect the environment from pollution and damage. Portable bunding helps with this by providing a way to contain unexpected spills and leaks and prevent them from spreading into the environment.
Examples of portable bunding applications range from storage of standard oil drums and cans, to IBC containers in a location where rigid spill pallets can't be used. Larger bunds can be set up around vehicles and plant machinery during a service, oil change or repair work to contain any oil spills safely.
Portable bunds can also be used to contain chemical spills, as the PVC construction offers a good level of chemical resistance. However, temporary bunding should only be used as a fallback for accidental spills, and isn't designed for long term use. Although compatible with a wide range of chemicals, checking compatibility before ordering is important.
