As winter approaches in Australia, the risk of spill incidents and non-compliance increases \u2013 especially for businesses that store hazardous liquids in outdoor environments. Wind, rain, debris, and falling temperatures can wreak havoc on your storage setup, particularly if your drum bunds or IBC bunds are left exposed.<\/p>\n
If you’re storing chemicals, oils, or other dangerous goods, now is the time to get proactive with your spill containment strategy. One of the simplest and most effective ways to do that? Install durable PVC covers for your bunds.<\/p>\n
Bund covers are heavy-duty, weather-resistant PVC covers designed to protect your drum and IBC bunds from exposure to harsh outdoor elements. When fitted properly, they shield bunds and their contents from:<\/p>\n
Unprotected bunds can quickly fill with rainwater, causing overflow that renders the containment ineffective \u2013 and potentially leads to hazardous spills or environmental contamination. In some cases, the mix of water and chemicals in an overfilled bund can breach environmental safety guidelines, leading to compliance issues and fines.<\/p>\n
