Bunding
Essential Spill Containment for Safe and Compliant Liquid Storage

At Spillcraft, we help businesses stay compliant with regulations while promoting best practices in health and safety through the use of high-quality bunded storage solutions.
Whether you’re handling oils, fuels, or chemical storage, bunding prevents dangerous leaks from escaping into the environment, safeguarding your workforce and avoiding costly clean-ups or legal penalties.

How Bunded Storage Protects Your Business
Contain Hazardous Liquids and Prevent Spills
Bunding provides a crucial line of defence against spill incidents. By creating a containment system around your chemical storage or oil storage, bunds prevent leaks from causing harm to people, facilities, or the surrounding environment.
Key benefits of using bunded storage include:
- Compliance with environmental legislation (e.g., ISO14001, COSHH)
- Protection from fines and prosecution due to pollution incidents
- Safe storage of hazardous substances, including oils, chemicals, and flammables
- Peace of mind through spill control and pollution prevention
Oil Storage Regulations: Why 110% Bunding Matters
If you store oil on-site, whether for machinery, vehicles or manufacturing processes, your business must comply with The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001. These regulations state that any container storing oil must be accompanied by a secondary containment system (such as a bund) that can hold at least 110% of the tank’s capacity.
At Spillcraft, our bunded storage solutions are designed to help you meet these legal requirements. Whether you are storing drums, IBCs or bulk oil tanks, our bunds ensure that leaks or overflows are safely contained. This reduces your risk of environmental damage, enforcement action or costly clean-up.
From spill pallets to bunded storage cabinets and external bunds, we offer customisable storage solutions designed for industrial settings where spill risk is a concern.
