Your Essential Solution for Safe Liquid Storage
Drum and IBC bunds, commonly known as spill pallets, are crucial for the safe temporary storage of liquids. These robust containment systems are designed to prevent spills and leaks from causing environmental harm, ensuring compliance with safety regulations while protecting your workspace.
What is a Drum or IBC Bund?
A drum bund or IBC bund serves as a secondary containment system that captures any potential spills from drums or Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). By using spill bunding, you can effectively manage hazardous materials, reducing the risk of contamination and promoting a safer working environment.

Drum & IBC Bunding FAQs
What are drum and IBC bunds used for?
Drum and IBC bunds are used to contain leaks, spills, or drips from stored hazardous liquids. They provide secondary containment for drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), helping to protect the environment, maintain workplace safety, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Can drums and IBCs be stored on the same bund?
Yes, drums and IBCs can be stored on the same bund provided the bund is correctly designed for the combined load and total liquid volume. It is important to ensure sufficient space, compatibility of stored chemicals, and compliance with capacity requirements.
What bund capacity is required for mixed drum and IBC storage?
Bund capacity requirements depend on the total volume of liquids stored. As a general rule under Australian practice, bunds must be able to contain a percentage of the total stored volume or the largest single container, whichever is greater. Exact requirements may vary depending on the substances and applicable standards.
Are bunds mandatory for storing drums and IBCs in Australia?
Yes, bunding is generally required under Australian environmental and workplace safety regulations when storing hazardous liquids. Bunds help prevent environmental contamination and are a key requirement under WHS laws and relevant Australian Standards.
How do you calculate bund capacity for multiple containers?
Bund capacity is typically calculated based on either a percentage of the total stored liquid volume or the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater. Additional allowances may be required for rainfall (if outdoors) and displacement from stored containers.
What types of liquids require bunded storage?
Bunded storage is required for a wide range of hazardous liquids, including flammable liquids, corrosives, oils, chemicals, and other substances that could harm people or the environment if released. Requirements depend on classification and risk level.
Are drum and IBC bunds suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, many drum and IBC bunds are designed for outdoor use, provided they are constructed from UV-stable and weather-resistant materials. Outdoor installations must also account for rainfall, drainage control, and site conditions.
Do bunds need to be chemical-resistant?
Yes, bunds must be made from materials that are resistant to the chemicals being stored. This ensures the bund does not degrade, leak, or react with stored substances, maintaining safe and compliant secondary containment.
