Description

40ft x 8ft Raised Bunded Store – Compliant Hazardous Material Storage

Built for businesses that need to store oil, fuel, or chemicals safely and legally, this 40ft x 8ft Raised Bunded Store gives you a large-capacity, fully enclosed storage container with an integrated raised bund base. The raised steel floor allows any leaks or spills to drain directly into the bunded sump below, keeping hazardous liquids contained and away from soil, drains, and watercourses — a critical requirement under UK oil and chemical storage regulations.

Converted from a 40ft shipping container, this bunded store combines the security and weather resistance of a standard steel container with purpose-built spill containment, making it a practical solution for construction sites, fuel depots, agricultural operations, and chemical processing facilities that need to store hazardous substances on site.

Why Bunded Storage Is a Legal Requirement, Not Just Good Practice

Under UK oil storage regulations, most businesses storing 200 litres or more of oil must provide secondary containment (a bund) capable of holding at least 110% of the capacity of the largest container stored inside it. This requirement applies across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland under their respective Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) Regulations. A raised bunded store like this one is designed to meet that 110% rule out of the box, helping you avoid fines, enforcement notices, and environmental damage from non-compliant storage.
