Bund Lining

To meet regulatory standards and effectively contain specific liquids, it’s essential that a bund’s base and walls are fully impermeable. Even minor weaknesses in the bund structure can allow stored substances to seep through, potentially leading to structural damage as the stored material interacts with and corrodes the walls and floor. Surprisingly, materials such as concrete and mortar, though durable in appearance, can still be permeable, allowing harmful contaminants to pass through and compromising the bund’s overall integrity.

To prevent this, specialised linings are applied to the walls and floor of the bund to create a tight, impermeable barrier. These linings must be carefully chosen to withstand exposure to the stored substances, as well as any chemical reactions or pressures that might damage them over time.

Transformer bunds, in particular, are subject to extreme environmental stresses, leading to gradual wear and potential deterioration. To maintain their protective function and prolong their useful life, regular relining is essential. By reinforcing bunds with a suitable impermeable lining, we ensure their resilience, compliance with safety standards, and reliability in containing potentially hazardous materials.
