Drum Bunding

Drum Bunding – Secure and Compliant Liquid Containment

In industrial workplaces, chemical plants, manufacturing facilities, and warehouses, safely storing and handling liquids is a critical part of operations. Accidental spills, leaks, or contamination can pose serious safety hazards, environmental risks, and financial costs. Drum bunding provides an effective and compliant solution, offering secondary containment for drums and containers to prevent spills and ensure workplace safety.

 

What is Drum Bunding?

Drum bunding refers to the use of a containment system, often called a bund, to catch leaks or spills from drums storing liquids. Bunds are typically constructed from durable materials such as polyethylene, steel, or a combination of both, and are designed to hold one or more drums securely. The bund acts as a secondary containment system, preventing liquids from escaping onto the floor, reducing environmental hazards, and ensuring compliance with Australian workplace safety and environmental regulations.

Drum bunding solutions can range from simple bunded pallets to larger bunded storage platforms capable of accommodating multiple drums. Many designs include features such as forklift accessibility, adjustable sizing, and chemical-resistant coatings, making them suitable for a wide range of liquids, including oils, chemicals, solvents, and other hazardous substances.

 

Benefits of Drum Bunding

Implementing drum bunding in your workplace offers a range of benefits:

• Enhanced Safety – Secondary containment prevents spills and accidents, reducing slips, falls, or hazardous exposure.

• Environmental Protection – Captures leaks and spills, preventing contamination of drains, soil, or surrounding areas.

• Compliance with Standards – Meets Australian regulations for hazardous liquid storage and spill containment, giving businesses peace of mind.

• Durable and Reliable – Industrial-grade construction ensures long-term performance under heavy loads and frequent use.

• Efficient and Organised Storage – Keeps drums secure and accessible while maintaining reliable spill protection.

• Cost-Effective – Minimises product loss, prevents damage, and reduces expensive clean-up and downtime.

Drum bunding is a practical and reliable solution for businesses that handle hazardous or liquid materials on a regular basis.

For workplaces handling a variety of liquids, bunding can be paired with specialised drum trolleys and lifters to make moving containers safer and more efficient.

 

Industries and Applications

Drum bunding is used across a wide variety of industries where safe liquid storage is essential:

• Chemical and Petrochemical Plants – Safely contains hazardous chemicals, reducing spill risks.

• Manufacturing Facilities – Stores oils, solvents, or industrial liquids used in production, often alongside drum dumpers for controlled emptying.

• Food and Beverage Industry – Provides hygienic and compliant storage for bulk liquid ingredients.

• Pharmaceutical and Laboratory Settings – Ensures safe containment of reactive or sensitive substances.

• Warehouses and Distribution Centres – Keeps stored liquids secure and organised for efficient handling, often supported by forklift drum handling attachments for safer movement.

By providing a secure, controlled, and compliant containment solution, drum bunding helps businesses maintain safety, protect materials, and prevent environmental contamination.

 

Why Invest in Drum Bunding?

Relying on standard pallets or floor storage can expose businesses to unnecessary risks, including spills, accidents, and costly compliance breaches. Drum bunding eliminates these issues by combining strong secondary containment with durability and efficiency. For employees, it creates a safer, more organised environment with reduced strain and hazards. For businesses, it ensures regulatory compliance, reduces material loss, and prevents costly clean-ups. In short, drum bunding isn’t just about storage—it’s a smart investment in safety, compliance, and long-term cost savings.
