How Much Does Tank Bund Lining Cost?
Tank bund lining typically costs between £50 and £100 per square metre. The price varies based on factors like the type of substrate, accessibility, and the specific environmental requirements of the site.
For instance, projects involving concrete substrates may require additional surface preparation, such as acid etching or shot blasting, to ensure optimal adhesion. Moreover, if the site includes restricted access areas, extra equipment like scaffolding or elevated platforms might be necessary, impacting the overall cost.
We also adhere to industry standards such as BS EN 1504 parts 2 and 7 to provide both structural and chemical protection. Our team can assess specific needs, including chemical resistance and UV stability, ensuring safety and compliance for your facility.
We offer tailored solutions to meet a range of budgets while maintaining high performance standards. To get an accurate estimate for your facility, contact our team for a detailed quote.
What Are the Benefits of Tank Bund Lining?
Tank bund lining offers several critical benefits. We use fibreglass-reinforced plastics and epoxy coatings to significantly enhance containment capacity, effectively preventing hazardous leaks and spills in both petrochemical plants and wastewater facilities.
Chemical Resistance: Protects tanks from aggressive substances, including sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid, extending the life of your storage solutions.
Compliance Assurance: Meets UK environmental regulations, such as the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations, ensuring adherence to legal requirements.
Durability: Long-lasting protection requiring minimal maintenance, reducing the need for frequent inspections and costly repairs.
Versatility: Suitable for a variety of industrial applications, from food processing plants to chemical manufacturing units, due to its adaptability to different tank shapes and sizes.
Tank bund lining also offers peace of mind by minimising the risk of environmental contamination. Contact us to explore how these benefits can shield your operations.
What Industries Require Tank Bund Lining?
Industries such as chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and oil and gas require tank bund lining due to the presence of corrosive or hazardous materials. In chemical processing plants, bund linings are vital to prevent leaks and spills from compromising safety and operations.
The pharmaceutical sector relies on our linings to protect sensitive compounds from contamination during storage. We use durable materials like epoxy and polyurea, known for their resistance to chemicals and thermal fluctuations, ensuring long-lasting protection.
Facilities storing bulk liquids, such as water treatment plants and food processing units, also benefit from our solutions. These linings help achieve compliance with regulations such as the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) and the Environmental Protection Act, reducing the risk of costly fines and environmental impact.

How Long Does Tank Bund Lining Take?
The installation of tank bund lining typically takes three to five days, depending on the size and condition of the area in question. This timeline encompasses several key stages: surface cleaning and preparation, primer application, the actual lining process, and required curing times.
For cleaning, we use techniques such as abrasive blasting to ensure optimal adhesion. During application, we may employ epoxy, polyurethane, or reinforced fibreglass linings to best suit the chemical composition and requirements of your storage tanks.
Curing can vary based on the environment; temperature and humidity can affect the process, sometimes extending it. For large or complex projects, timelines may extend slightly due to site-specific logistics or additional safety checks.
We plan each project to minimise disruption to your operations and ensure compliance with industry standards like BS EN 858 or DEFRA guidelines.
What Regulations Apply to Tank Bund Lining?
In the UK, tank bund lining must adhere to regulations set by the Environmental Agency, ensuring secondary containment systems prevent pollution. Compliance with the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001 is essential.
These standards ensure that leaks or spills do not contaminate the environment, protecting local ecosystems and communities.
In addition to these, the Water Resources (Control of Pollution) (Silage, Slurry and Agricultural Fuel Oil) Regulations 2010 provide guidelines for agricultural settings, where potential hazards are prevalent. We must also consider the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 to ensure the safety of all personnel during installation and maintenance.
For installations involving hazardous substances, the COMAH (Control of Major Accident Hazards) Regulations 2015 may apply to prevent accidental releases. These regulations collectively form a structured approach to maintaining environmental safety and compliance.
