IBC Bunds

IBC Bunds and sumps are crucial for preventing spills and leaks when storing or transporting liquids in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), which typically hold up to 1000 litres. Available in single or double bund pallets, they are designed to capture leaks, each with a sump capacity matching the tanks. Bunds come in durable plastic or galvanised steel, with options for open or covered designs to protect tanks from the elements. Some feature forklift skids for easier movement, though they should only be moved when the tanks are empty.
 

IBC Bunds 

IBC Bunds and sumps are essential for preventing spills and leaks during the transport and storage of liquid substances. IBCs or intermediate bulk containers are used for the storage or transportation of large amounts of liquid. A standard container has a capacity of 1000 litres and will stand over a metre tall. In order to prevent spills of the stored liquid, you should also have an IBC bund to sit under the tank and collect leaks.

Single and Double Bund Pallets Available

An IBC bund pallet is normally designed to hold either one or two containers. Single IBC bunds are big enough to hold an IBC with the sump capacity to match. On the other hand, a double IBC bund pallet will hold two containers and will have the capacity to handle the full contents of both tanks.

IBC Sumps in a Range of Materials 

There is a choice of material for your IBC container bund. Most standard sumps are made from tough plastic, which is relatively light and suitable for use both outside and inside. They tend to be bright yellow with a black grid on which the IBC tank sits. The other option is for a galvanised steel bund pallet, this is going to be much heavier but more resistant to heat and losing its shape over time.

Protect your IBC Tank From the Elements

You will also need to consider if you need the IBC tank to be covered. The standard pallet is just an open tray with a grid on it, leaving the tank open to the elements. The alternative to this is a covered IBC storage bund, which also has a roof or even doors to lock away the tank.

As these items are heavy, you will need to consider how to move them. Most have special groves for forklift access, but none of them should be moved unless the IBC tank is empty or removed first.
