Portable Bunding
Portable Bunding products designed to hold 110% capacity. Our Portable Bund Systems meet Australian Standards and keep your workplace compliant.
What Is Portable Bunding?
Portable Storage Bunds (PSB’s) create permanent or temporary relocatable watertight bunds that we can manufacture to size according to your requirements. Our portable bunding products are a popular choice for all industries that have to meet Australian standards AS3780 and is durable and easily folds away within minutes.
All our PSB’s are a standard heavy duty construction. Because of this, they are chemical, oil and fuel resistant and can handle the storage of a number of dangerous goods. If you require even more durability they can be upgraded to a superior heavy-duty construction for those rugged applications. Our PSB’s have a 300mm wall height with a fold out re-enforced leg design that’s durable and simple to use. Due to this, installing or removing our bunds is an easy job that takes minutes not hours.
All in all – you can absolutely rely on our portable bunding quality.
We also manufacture a range of rigid bunds with no external legs at all for tight fitting storage areas.
What is a collapsible bund?
The defining feature of this type of floor bunding is that it’s not rigid. The walls can temporarily fold or “collapse” to allow access to heavy vehicles – e.g. a forklift to pick up a pallet and move it elsewhere. Also, collapsible bunding systems can be folded and packed very compactly, which means they can be easily moved around. This allows you to use a portable bund not only in your primary storage space but also as a temporary bund in other sites of your operation, where you also have to take responsibility for safe and appropriate chemical storage. One could say that portability is one of the defining features of this spill containment product.
How portable are our bunds? The image to the left above is 2 x bunds. As each bund is 15m long x 6m wide it easily fits on the back of a ute heading to the worksite.
MODEL TERSB – Portable Bund
Our rigid temporary storage bunds are made from the same materials that show outstanding chemical resistance, and have the same design principles and compliance benefits as our PSB’s. As a result, these rigid bunds have right angle leg braces that come with the bund. You simply slide them in while installing the bund. And, the installation still takes minutes instead of hours with the same result.
How do portable spill containment products work?
The portable spill containment bund works like any other bund – its primary purpose is to catch any potentially hazardous chemical leaks before they would have a chance to reach and contaminate the ground or enter the storm drain. The durable, chemical-resistant PVC-based material ensures that all hazardous chemicals are contained safely within the walls of the bund. However, a portable bund’s best feature is that you easily can get it installed wherever you need it – and quickly. That means that the product can be tightly packed and stored until there is a need to use it.
The light, but resilient construction of our spill bunds allows you to go from a compactly folded bund to a fully functional one in a matter of minutes. The compact size means that you can transport it and use it for the safe temporary storage of chemicals outside of your main storage facility or working site.
Designed For Australian Conditions
Our portable bunding products are proudly manufactured in Australia and designed for the Australian conditions – even the harshest of environments.
We fusion weld all joins for a 100% seal and test the product for any defect before dispatch. If required we can provision eyelets around the perimeter. This aids with fastening or pegging into place and as a result a portable storage bund can be installed within a few minutes. We can also optimise your bunding requirements by identifying key areas and risks and custom design a bund to suit your storage challenges on site.
Heavy Duty Reliability
Our portable bunding is heavy-duty and, as said priorly, can be driven into when the walls are collapsed. Alternatively, pallets can be placed inside the bund for forklift options.
We offer spill kits and absorbents to compliment bunds for incidental spills and can package containment and clean-up solution to suit your needs. If your project requires you to create temporary work sites and storage solutions then consider a PSB, you’ll like its durability and simplicity. Be compliant without impacting your time schedule.
Available Configurations For Standard Portable Bunding
Available in standard sizes from 1.4 x 1.4 x 300mm height to larger custom solutions in excess of 25,000L, Trade Enviro can supply the correct bunding solution to suit your projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a portable spill containment solution?
Bunding spill containment is an industrial standard for preventing hazardous chemical spills. There are a couple of reasons why every business that deals with hazardous chemicals should also have a portable spill bund besides stationary spill prevention equipment such as a bunded pallet or a spill pallet. You need a portable spill bund if your business practices any fieldwork outside the main storage area. Your company has a responsibility to store chemicals safely on its premises, but also anywhere else where you may have to transport them.
Besides that, it is always useful to have additional spill containment bunds for secondary containment – and portable spill bunds are easy to store until needed.
The end result of your effort will be a safe environment for your workers, uncontaminated stormwater leaving your business property, and last but not least – compliance with environmental regulations and OSHA standards.
Pro tip: investing in proper spill prevention is always more cost-effective than the potential decontamination of sites in case of an out-of-control major chemical spill.

How do I clean a chemical spill?
Chemical spills are dangerous. It’s important for you as an operator that you understand the type and classification of the chemical being stored at your facility. Safety always comes first, contact your chemical supplier or study the product’s safety data sheets for a guide on the correct way to clean up a spill and ensure you’re prepared with the correct PPE. Trade Enviro supply HAZCHEM spill kits and absorbents, including hazardous waste bags for disposal. If you’re looking for PPE, we can help that too.
How do I manage a larger outdoor permanent bund in rain events?
We specialize in automated bund closure systems for permanent and temporary outdoor containment bunding. Because of this, the bund closure valve is designed to allow a bund to remain open, so rain will not flood the bund or cause hazards on site. The system detects hydrocarbon and automatically shuts down, isolating the bund and securing the spill within the bund, preventing hydrocarbon-rainwater emulsion from reaching the drain. Best suited for concrete and fixed bunds, large-scale transfers, and holding facilities. For automated spill control systems check out our spill response products.
