How Much Does Bund Integrity Testing Cost?
Bund integrity testing typically costs between £500 and £1,500 per bund, depending on the size and complexity of the structure. The service encompasses a thorough inspection using non-destructive methods such as ultrasonic testing and vacuum box testing, which are crucial for identifying leaks or imperfections.
Pressure or vacuum testing is usually conducted in compliance with the Appropriate Standards for Environmental Protection, providing peace of mind that your containment measures meet industry regulations. The cost is further influenced by factors such as bund material, accessibility, and the type of chemicals being contained, as well as any necessary site preparation or cleanup.
Additionally, the presence of multiple compartments or compartments with complex geometries may require longer testing times. For an accurate quote tailored to your specific needs, please get in touch with our team.
What Are the Benefits of Bund Integrity Testing?
Bund integrity testing offers several critical benefits:
Regulatory Compliance: Regular testing is essential to ensure compliance with standards such as the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) regulations. Compliance with these regulations helps in mitigating risks associated with hazardous substance storage.
Safety Assurance: By using non-destructive testing methods like ultrasonic thickness testing and vacuum box testing, we can detect structural weaknesses or leaks in bunds before they develop into more serious issues that could lead to catastrophic spills.
Cost Savings: Early detection of issues through methods like dye penetrant testing can prevent costly clean-up operations and potential penalties associated with chemical leaks.
Operational Continuity: Routine inspections enable us to identify potential failure points, allowing for planned maintenance and repairs. This proactive approach reduces the risk of unexpected containment issues and minimises operational downtime.

How Long Does Bund Integrity Testing Take?
The time required for bund integrity testing depends on the size and complexity of the bund. Typically, a standard test is completed within one to two days.
This involves visual inspections and pressure testing to detect leaks or structural weaknesses. Larger or more complex systems might take longer, particularly if additional testing methods such as ultrasonic thickness measurements or vacuum box testing need to be employed.
Ultrasonic testing can help identify the integrity of welds and the thickness of bund walls, while vacuum box testing is useful for examining the quality of joints. Our team will provide you with an estimated timeline based on your specific requirements and industry standards.
We work with various industries, including chemical manufacturing and storage facilities, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. Contact us to schedule your bund integrity test and receive a timeframe tailored to your facility’s needs.
