What is a Bund Wall?
All industrial polluted tanks and the areas where polluted substances are stored must be retained with a surrounding wall known as a bund wall.
The process of bunding is to capture and store any escaped substance from their original tanks into the bunded tank, which is usually metal or concrete. This is to prevent any spillages onto the surrounding ground or areas that can become contaminated or dangerous to public health. A bund wall acts as a safety net for the main tank, therefore, the retaining wall of the bunded area must be completely leakproof and inspected regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
Bund Empty at Hazclear
As the bunded area becomes full of oil or chemical substances it will need to be professionally emptied by a person(s) who is equipped to do so. This must be completed without creating spillages or pollution to the surrounding environment and disposed of in the correct manner, depending on the substance. Hazclear, are fully compliant and provides a professional service for all bund empties, giving you a no hassle service whilst keeping in line with legal standards.
The Importance of a Bund Clean
Once emptied, previously stored chemicals will leave residue and toxic substances on the bund walls. Cleaning the bund wall is essential to ensure the build-up of product doesn’t clog any filters, causing long-term issues. Build-up residue can also hide any cracks or damage to the bund wall therefore, it's always beneficial to book a deep clean and inspection after every empty. The industrial cleaning services provided by Hazclear are bespoke to you. We can provide deep cleans in any location, accessing tight spaces is something we achieve regularly.
