Flexible Drive Over Bunding


Drive Over Bunding - Containit Solutions

In any industrial workspace, bunding plays a critical role in protecting people, products and the environment. Whether you're dealing with oils, fuels or hazardous liquids, proactive spill containment is a must. While bunded pallets and spill trays are effective at source, not every risk sits neatly under an IBC or drum. That's where additional solutions like drive over bunding come in.

Drive over bunding is ideal as a backup containment device in environmentally sensitive areas and outdoor loading zones. While bunded pallets and spill pallets remain best practice for direct storage under primary containment, floor bunding is a flexible and robust method to help maintain compliance. Flexible drive over bunding is particularly suited to workshops, warehouses and depots where traffic flows must continue without compromise.

However, it’s worth noting that drive over floor bunding isn’t appropriate everywhere. It is not suitable for slopes or steep gradients, areas with unfiltered drainage systems or where floor flatness is essential for specific forklifts. In these cases, consult your safety officer or a specialist provider like Containit to explore the right containment mix.

Compliance note – AS 1940-2017: While drive over bunding isn’t a replacement for compliant primary containment, it plays a vital supporting role in helping workplaces meet the requirements for spill control and segregation under AS 1940.
