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.
A drum spill pallet is used to provide safe storage for liquids at the location they are used in a manufacturing or workshop process. Our spill pallets can be easily moved to new locations by both forklifts and pallet jacks while empty. Anyone storing, handling, or using liquids during their work process is likely to need spill pallets to comply with regulations, including workshops, mining, oil & gas sites, construction sites, manufacturing facilities, waste management companies, and local, state and federal government organisations.
All liquid storage must comply with local, state and federal regulations. Typically, these regulations state that the bund or drum spill pallet must have sufficient capacity to contain 110% of the volume of the largest container, or 25% of the total volume stored on the drum spill pallet, whichever is greater – for more details please check our FAQ.
