The legislation typically reads as follows: the bund must have sufficient capacity to contain 110% of the volume of the largest container; or 25% of the total volume stored on the bund, whichever is greater.
This means a 4 drum bund (sump capacity 230 litres) can be used to store up to 4 x 205 ltr drums (205 x 110% = 225.5 litres, 820 x 25% = 164.0 litres) or 46 x 20 litre drums (20 x 110% = 22.0 litres, 960 x 25% = 230 litres), but cannot be used to store a 1,000 ltr IBC (1000 x 110% = 1100.0 litres).

However storage requirements do vary depending on the product being stored – typically, flammable liquids, corrosive substances, oxidising agents and organic peroxides must be stored in compliant dangerous goods safety cabinets rather than on bunds.
Please note this advice is general in nature, and is based on Australian legislation. If you are unsure please check with a Dangerous Goods consultant.
SpillShop has two distinct floor bund variants available: a lightweight, light duty EVA foam bund, excellent for light traffic areas or where there is a requirement for a quick and easy floor bund solution, and a heavy-duty urethane bund, great for heavy vehicle traffic and permanent bund areas.
Floor bunding can be used to create bunded areas for product storage, to prevent water coming in through workshop door openings, and to create bunded washdown bays, among other applications.
All liquid storage must comply with local, state and federal regulations. Typically, these regulations state that a bund must have sufficient capacity to contain 110% of the volume of the largest container; or 25% of the total volume stored in the bunded area, whichever is greater – for more details please check our FAQ.
Users include Workshops, Mining, Oil and Gas sites, Washdown Bays, and Service Stations and Refuelling sites.
