What Bund Lining Services Does Bund Lining Specialists Provide?
We offer a range of services to meet diverse containment needs, catering to various industries such as chemical, oil, and gas, as well as water treatment facilities, where containment is crucial to prevent environmental contamination and ensure workplace safety.
GRP Bund Lining: Using glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) for strong, chemical-resistant linings that withstand harsh environments. This is often preferred in industries where high corrosion resistance is a priority, ensuring long-term integrity and reduced maintenance. Specifications like thickness and fibre content can be tailored to specific chemical exposure and temperature ranges.
Epoxy Bund Lining: Durable epoxy coatings provide a barrier that seals and protects against liquid intrusion. These linings can endure high traffic conditions, extreme temperatures, and chemical exposure, making them ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications. We ensure compliance with relevant environmental and safety standards such as BS EN 1504.
Bund Repairs: We offer comprehensive repair services to restore and enhance existing bund structures. Our team assesses the condition and identifies issues such as cracking or delamination. We use materials like polyurethane or mortars to repair and extend the life of your containment area.
Our expertise ensures reliable, efficient containment solutions for various types of facilities. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and how we can assist with your bund lining projects.
When Is Bund Lining Needed?
Bund lining is essential when containment areas require protection from harsh chemicals and liquids. We commonly provide bund lining in industries such as chemical manufacturing, oil and gas, and pharmaceuticals, where the integrity of containment is crucial for safety and compliance.
Unlined or damaged bunds can lead to leaks and environmental risks, making it crucial to install bund linings that meet relevant standards, such as the BS EN 13121 for GRP tanks and linings.
Regular inspections using equipment like ultrasonic thickness gauges can determine the need for lining upgrades or repairs. During these inspections, we assess the current state of the bund and identify points of potential weakness or damage.
In cases where the lining is compromised, we recommend materials like epoxy or polyurethane, known for their resistance to a wide range of chemicals. Timely intervention can prevent costly environmental clean-ups and protect property and personnel effectively.
How Does Bund Lining Specialists Work?
Our process is systematic and thorough, allowing us to deliver effective containment solutions for various industries:
Assessment: We begin with a detailed evaluation of the containment area. This includes measuring dimensions and identifying any potential vulnerabilities or damage. This information helps us determine the most suitable lining solution, such as GRP or epoxy, based on environmental factors and chemical compatibility.
Preparation: Surfaces are meticulously cleaned and prepared to ensure proper adhesion of the lining. This involves shot blasting or pressure washing to remove contaminants, followed by applying a primer if necessary. Our preparation adheres to industry standards like BS 8007 and EN 14620, ensuring the foundation is ready for lining.
Application: We choose and apply the appropriate lining, either GRP or epoxy. The application is performed using specialised equipment to maintain precision and uniformity, ensuring the lining meets thickness specifications for maximum efficacy and longevity.
Inspection: A final check is conducted to ensure compliance with safety and durability standards. We perform tests for issues such as pinholes or delaminations using methods like spark testing or ultrasonic thickness measurement. This ensures that the integrity of the lining system is uncompromised.
