Used Self Bunded

Overview

Self-bunded tanks are storage tanks with an integrated secondary containment (a built-in bund) that captures leaks or spills from the inner tank. They’re used for fuels, oils, chemicals and other liquids where environmental protection and regulatory compliance are required. Available in steel, stainless steel or polyethylene and a range of capacities, they simplify installation by removing the need for separate bund walls and speed up permitting and site setup.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used self-bunded tank?

Inspect the inner tank and bund for corrosion, cracks or deformation; verify integrity tests and certificates; confirm previous contents and any contamination; check valves, vents, seals and lifting points; review maintenance records and ensure compliance with local containment regulations.

How do I ensure safe shipping and delivery?

Empty, clean and decontaminate the tank before transport; secure it on an appropriate trailer using rated lifting points and chocks; declare previous contents if hazardous and arrange permits; use a carrier experienced with bulky or hazardous equipment.

What maintenance is required for a self-bunded tank?

Perform regular visual inspections of inner tank and bund, test bund tightness/leak detection systems, replace gaskets and valves as needed, clean internal surfaces periodically, protect exterior coatings, and follow manufacturer inspection intervals and local regulations.
