WHY BUNDED STORAGE
Why do you need bunded drum & IBC storage?
Storing oils, lubricants, fuels and other liquids safely requires more than simply keeping containers off the ground. Bunded drum and IBC storage provides secondary containment to help protect your workplace, the environment and your stored products.
Secondary containment for stored liquids
Drums and IBCs can contain significant volumes of liquid. Even a relatively small leak can create a difficult spill to manage, particularly where containers are stored close to drains, machinery or other sensitive areas.
A bunded storage system provides a dedicated containment area beneath the container. If a leak or spill occurs, the bund helps prevent the liquid from spreading across the surrounding area.
Protect your site and the environment
Effective secondary containment can help reduce the risk of liquids reaching floors, drainage systems and surrounding ground. This is particularly important when storing oils, fuels, chemicals and other potentially polluting liquids.
01
Contain leaks & spills
Help prevent escaped liquids from spreading beyond the immediate storage area.
02
Protect your workplace
Keep stored liquids contained and help maintain a cleaner, safer and more organised storage area.

03
Available space
Measure the available area and consider access for loading, unloading and routine handling.
04
Secondary containment
Select a storage solution that provides appropriate secondary containment for the containers and liquids being stored.

STORAGE ENVIRNOMENT
Indoor vs Outdoor Storage
Where you store your drums and IBCs can influence the type of storage solution you need. Consider your available space, environmental conditions and access requirements before choosing your storage system.
?
Where will your drums or IBCs be stored?
Indoor storage can provide protection from the weather and make use of existing warehouse or workshop space. Outdoor storage may require additional protection from weather and environmental conditions.
WORKSHOPS & WAREHOUSES
INDOOR STORAGE
Storing drums and IBCs inside a suitable building can help protect containers from external weather conditions while keeping liquids close to the point of use.
Things to consider
✓ Available floor space
✓ Access for handling equipment
✓ Suitable secondary containment
✓ Safe access around stored containers
✓ Ventilation and site requirements
EXTERNAL STORAGE AREAS
OUTDOOR STORAGE
Outdoor storage provides a practical option where indoor space is limited. The storage environment should be considered carefully, particularly where containers are exposed to changing weather conditions.
Things to consider
✓ Protection from rain and weather
✓ Suitable storage surface
✓ Secondary containment

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Drum & IBC Storage FAQs
Find answers to some of the most common questions about storing drums and IBCs, secondary containment and choosing the right storage solution.
What is bunded drum and IBC storage?
Bunded drum and IBC storage provides secondary containment beneath or around containers holding liquids. The containment area is designed to collect leaks or spills, helping prevent liquids from spreading into the surrounding work area.
Why do I need secondary containment for drums and IBCs?
Secondary containment provides an additional layer of protection if a drum or IBC leaks or spills. It can help contain liquids within a defined area and reduce the risk of contamination to floors, equipment, drainage systems and the surrounding environment.
What size drum storage solution do I need?
The appropriate solution depends on the number and size of drums you need to store, as well as the available space and your containment requirements. Options are available for individual drums through to larger multi-drum storage arrangements.
Can I store 205L drums on a spill pallet?
Yes. Spill pallets are commonly used to provide secondary containment for 205L drums. The appropriate pallet should be selected based on the number of drums, their arrangement and the requirements of the liquid being stored.
Can IBCs be stored outdoors?
IBCs can be stored outdoors where the container, containment system and site conditions are suitable for outdoor use. Outdoor storage should take account of weather exposure, access, the stored liquid and the requirements applicable to the particular installation.
What is the difference between drum and IBC storage?
Drum storage is designed around smaller containers such as 205L drums, while IBC storage accommodates larger intermediate bulk containers. Both can be used with suitable secondary containment, but the storage system needs to match the container dimensions, quantity and application.
Can I store oils, fuels and chemicals on bunded storage?
Suitable bunded storage can be used for a range of liquid storage applications, including oils, fuels and chemicals. However, the appropriate containment solution depends on the properties of the liquid, container type, quantity and storage environment. Always check the relevant product information and applicable requirements before selecting a solution.
How do I choose the right drum or IBC storage solution?
Start by considering what liquid you are storing, the size and number of containers, where the storage will be located and the required level of secondary containment. Available space, access and whether the storage is indoors or outdoors should also be considered.
If you're unsure which solution is suitable, our team can help you identify the most appropriate option for your application.
Do I need different storage for indoor and outdoor use?
Not necessarily, but the storage environment should be taken into account when choosing a solution. Outdoor installations may need to consider weather exposure, drainage, accessibility and other site-specific factors, while indoor storage may have different space and access considerations.
What containment accessories are available?
Containment accessories can be used to complement drum and IBC storage arrangements. Depending on your application, these can include products designed to help manage spills, leaks, handling and storage around liquid containers.
