The professional bund lining solutions has become a critical component to the protection and safety of many industrial sites. For example, a concrete bund housing a tank with an aggressive chemical such as hydrochloric acid would be lined to protect the concrete from damage and to prevent any possible chemical spillage causing environmental harm.
However, it is important to note that not all bunds need to be lined. If the chemicals being stored in a bund are harmless then the structure can be left unlined. Alternatively, a liner can be used to protect the walls of the bund should a leak or rupture occur.
Sealing Safely: Choosing and Implementing Professional Bund Lining Solutions
When a bund is lined the first step in the process is to clean the walls with either water or grit blasting to remove any loose debris and prepare the surface for the application of the protective coating system. This allows the installer to identify any potential problem areas such as leaks, cracking, honeycombing, and voids in the concrete and repair them with fast-reacting resin systems like VIP’s QuickRepair that can be overcoated with the impermeable bund lining the next day.
All of the resin-based protective coatings that we supply for the lining of bunds and secondary containment are spray-applied which allows them to be rapidly installed in any site condition. The specifics of the required system build-up, the environment, and chemicals that will be stored in the bund need to be taken into consideration so that the most appropriate materials are selected.
