One of our clients makes upmarket potato snacks from high quality ingredients – and it needs to use lots of oil to make its products on a large enough scale.
The only problem was that the company had a leaking bund, which would have caused major problems if sunflower oil or rapeseed oil had emptied into it.
So they came to us and asked whether we could help get their bund oil-tight once again – they only wanted to worry about making great snacks.
The clients' bund is 9 metres by 8 metres, and over a metre high.
A long lasting solution was needed, so we recommended a GRP bund lining.
GRP (fibreglass) is strong, flexible and has a much longer lifespan than other coatings or linings – a good 20+ years.
We lined the bund in under a week and caused no disruption to the company's normal activities.
And now the work's done, they're free to concentrate on making their snacks – and won't have to worry about that problem bund for at least a couple of decades.
We offer a high quality bund lining service to produce a simple, long term cost effective solution to your spill containment, protection and corrosion problems.
Our technical surveyors have years of experience within the industry and are experts in fibreglass lining.
A free site survey will provide you with recommendations for the future use of your tank bund spill containment area.

Industrial Bund Lining Service
Rapeseed oil had leaked into the bund. It's not easy to clean up, so we used special caustic cleaners to get rid of it. Then it was time to send in an operative with a pressure washer to get the bund clean and ready for gritblasting.
Next came the gritblasting itself. This is necessary to give the brick and concrete a keyed surface – this makes sure that the fibreglass bund lining adheres to the surface properly, giving it maximum strength and adhesion.
With a prepared surface to work with, it was time to apply the lining to the bund. First came a resin primer, followed by a chopped strand glass fibre matting, impregnated with resin.
With the re-inforced resin in place, the last job was to use orbital sanders to remove any irregularities, before covering with a further coat followed by a top coat to make sure every surface in the bund was oil tight.
