Storage Bund

Capacity and Condition

  • The minimum bund capacity must meet which-ever of the following is the largest:

    2. Sufficient capacity to hold the contents of any bulk tanker vehicle unloading in the bund.
    3. 25% of the combined capacity of all IBC’s, drums or other packages in the bund including empties.

    The displaced volumes (e.g. concrete plinths & other tanks) below the top of the bund crest is to be allowed for when calculating bund capacity. The bunds should also have additional capacity to store rainwater or 20 minutes of fire water where appropriated.

  • Is the bund in a sound condition?

  • Is any form of splash guard or equivalent in place?

  • Check bund drainage valves (if there are any) have been left in the correct position.

  • Where present, are all joints in good condition?

  • The bund float switches / leak detection instruments are working correctly?

  • There is NO evidence of recent leaks?

  • There is NO evidence of damage to the bund structure?

  • There is no rainwater in the storage bund?

  • Staff know how to respond if the bund level monitor begins alarming

  • Where do the bund drain pipe(s) drain to, if in place?

Delivery Bund

  • There is NO evidence of tankers discharging fuel outside of the storage bund (e.g. chemical staining on ground)?

Tanker / Delivery Bund (if applicable)
