Fibreglass Lining a Tank Bund
A fibreglass bund lining is the most cost effective option in the long run.
And therein lies a problem. You'll be aware that this form of secondary containment has major weaknesses. Brick work and block work are porous. Once there has been any spillage, contaminants will eventually migrate through the bund walls and seep into the environment. Are there those tell-tale signs of leaching at the base of your bund walls?
Concrete is no better. Weathering, ageing and ground movement will produce cracks and consequent leakage into the substrate. Have you noticed after a heavy down pour rain water rapidly disappears from your tank bund?
So potential contamination, expensive clean up and high financial penalties are a risk to your business. Researching the web means you're, almost certainly, looking into having a tank bund repair, lining or relining. Ideally you want to keep costs down, extend the life of your bund and reduce on-site disruption. An important factor is that you want a low maintenance solution that lasts for many years down the line.
A low cost, low disruption, low maintenance, long life bund solution
Our on-site fibreglass bund lining system is the best answer to your needs. Although fibreglass is but one of the many liners available to fix your bund problem, we think you'll find it the clear winner.- Fibreglass is highly durable in extremely corrosive environments.
- It is a low/zero maintenance product that seals all structures, piping and cables that extend beyond the bund.
- With its low life cycle cost it will please your board and shareholders.
- And as an added bonus, fibreglass is the only lining that will add high tensile and compressive strength to your bund walls and base.
You can rely on our team of highly experienced fibreglass technicians to keep on-site disruption to a minimum. They are one of the fastest workforces in the industry. They also work to high standards and use top grade materials. This ensures that our standard 10 year guarantee for a containment bund is rarely called upon. (In practice, done properly, our lining system will outlast our guarantee by many years).
So you can see, fibreglass is the best option and Lining Services are the best people to extend the life of your tank bunding. Start the ball rolling now. Call or contact us for a free on-site no-obligation survey. We can help solve your problem and cross that nagging risk off your list of responsibilities.

Fibreglass Lining Projects:
BUND LINING
Using a fibreglass lining is really the only practical option for sealing in complicated structures in a containment area. This chemical bund clearly shows how well Lining Services' approach works.
CHEMICAL BUND
The original exposed concrete base of this bund would have absorbed chemical spills and be a potential cause of pollution to the surrounding environment. Answer: to install a fibreglass lining to enclose all internal walls, gullies and sumps.
TRANSFORMER BUND
Electricity sub-station transformers are complex structures often containing up to 40,000 litres of cooling/insulating oil. Slow leakage of oil is a common problem of these installationsWith a new fibreglass bund liner this is one transformed transformer.

Preparation/Application
- Arrive on-site, set up all safety equipment as required by the job specification.
- Prepare the surfaces, removing all moisture and providing a key.
- Apply fibreglass mat and resins to bund wall and base including all superstructure, piping entering the bund area.
- Clearance of site of all equipment, surplus and waste products and materials.
With this being our first experience with Lining Services I was a little concerned as we have had new contractors cause serious issues with poor safety performance, poor quality etc., so you can imagine how this concern magnified when my plans changed and I was not going to be on site during this work. But I'm very pleased to say that your team performed impeccably, they followed our site safety rules and your company method statement to the letter and I have heard nothing but compliments from our staff.With regard to the lining works - they appear sound, the floor area has a non-slip surface, the colour is a good match to our existing tank colour scheme and the surrounding area was left in a clean and tidy condition, so all in all a very good service.
I thank you and your team for the attention to detail and in providing a very satisfying service.
