It is fairly common among industries to have bulk storage of oil and chemicals. While this is beneficial to the company, this poses a risk to the environment in the event of accidental spills specially during deliveries. Government regulations require oil storage facilities to be properly bunded. The following highlights the most important aspects:

• The bund should consist of a base and surrounding walls which must be constructed or lined with a material impermeable to the oil stored.
• The bund should not have a damp proof course.
• Pipework should not pass through the bund. However, if this is unavoidable any gaps in the wall must be filled with material resistant to attack by the oil.
• The capacity of the bund must be at least 10% greater than the total storage capacity of the tank(s).
• There must be no outlet connecting to drains, sewers, watercourses or discharging into yards or onto ground.
• Normally rainwater should evaporate from the bund. Should there be a need to remove accumulated rainwater this should be done using a manually operated pump.
