Our Tank and Bund Lining Process
Although every site is different, tank and bund lining projects usually follow a clear process.
Initial Review
First, the key details about the tank, bund and site are gathered. This helps identify the likely scope of work and the most suitable lining approach.
Inspection and Assessment
Next, the condition of the containment system is reviewed. In many cases, this helps identify existing damage, wear or areas that may need repair before lining is applied.
Surface Preparation
Before any lining is installed, the surfaces are prepared properly so the coating can bond effectively. This stage is essential for long-term performance.
Lining Application
The selected lining system is then applied to the tank, bund or containment area. Depending on the project, this may involve primary containment lining, secondary containment lining or protective coatings to improve resistance and durability.
Repairs, Checks and Handover
Where needed, repair work can also be carried out to restore damaged areas and support the long-term effectiveness of the lining. Once the work is complete, the site can be handed over with the agreed scope finished.
Why Tank and Bund Lining Matters
Tank and bund lining plays an important role in preventing leaks, extending asset life and improving environmental protection.
A well-maintained lining system can help reduce the risk of contamination, support safer storage and improve the reliability of the containment system over time. Therefore, lining is often a sensible preventive measure as well as a remedial one.
Repairs and Ongoing Maintenance
Lining systems do not always need complete replacement.
In many cases, targeted repairs and maintenance can restore damaged areas and help the lining continue performing effectively. Regular checks can also help identify smaller issues before they become more serious.
What We Need to Quote

Compliance and Environmental Protection
Tank and bund lining should be planned around safe working requirements, environmental protection and the intended use of the containment system.
Clear inspection, preparation and application methods all help support a more reliable outcome. In addition, where flammable products are involved, site-specific controls should reflect relevant HSE DSEAR guidance.
For broader environmental context, businesses storing oil should also be aware of oil storage regulations for businesses.
