1. Aviation fuel tank bund areas with completed GRP lining.

The problem – cracked bunds

The company has a base at Belfast International airport, where it keeps five bunded tanks – one for aviation fuel, two for diesel and two for de-icer.

The bunds had been in place for decades and had developed cracks and other structural problems, particularly where the walls met the floor. Farrans needed an economical and long-lasting solution to make them oil-tight.

2. GlyCol bund with completed GRP lining.

The solution – GRP bund lining

After a free site survey, we recommended repairing each bund with a GRP lining system. This creates a new bund within the old one, meaning that new cracks in the concrete don’t compromise the bund’s integrity.

3. Diesel tank bund with GRP lining.

Fast bund repair & major savings

Farrans asked us to repair all five bunds in a single project, allowing us to offer a 32% reduction on the price of repairing them separately – and to complete the repairs within 12 working days.

The company’s bunds are now fully oil-tight and should remain maintenance and leak-free for 20+ years.

4. GRP lining completed to diesel oil tank bund.
