Professional chemical bund lining is an essential investment for any site that stores chemicals. These secondary containment vessels prevent spillages and leaks from the primary tanks, vessels or pipes. They also ensure that any leaks or spills can be contained in case of a failure, keeping people and the environment safe. Bunds are made of impermeable material that is inert to the chemicals and liquids stored inside, with GRP linings or 2-part epoxy lining systems favoured for long lifespans and durability.
Damage to a bund can compromise the ability of the structure to contain a spillage, so it is vital that repairs are carried out swiftly. Incorrect repair techniques can lead to a deterioration in the quality of the liner, which can cause further issues to the health and safety of the bund and surrounding areas.
Mastering Containment: The Benefits of Opting for Professional Chemical Bund Lining Services
A good option for re-lining a damaged bund is MacLennan’s pure polyurea hot spray system. The spray-applied coating is elastic, seamless, fully bonded and has an inbuilt impact and abrasion resistance. It is extremely versatile and can be detailed around pipe fittings and fixed plant and cures within seconds, making it an ideal solution for fast and easy re-lining of concrete or timber bunds. The spray coating also offers superior performance compared to other systems such as GRP, epoxies and cementitious coatings. It is also UV-resistant and can withstand exposure to extreme temperatures. This makes it suitable for oil and chemical storage bunds, as well as being a suitable lining for concrete and brick structures that have severe movement stress cracking.
