When handling hazardous liquids in high-volume environments, containment isn’t optional — it’s essential. At Hercules Plastics, we recently completed the design, fabrication, and installation of a permanent HDPE bund system at a large industrial galvanizing plant.
The Challenge
The client needed a durable, chemical-resistant containment system to safely house a large IBC unit used in their operations. The site was exposed to washdown water, forklift traffic, and corrosive conditions — making traditional steel or concrete bunding unsuitable.
🛠 Our Solution: Custom HDPE Bund System
We fabricated a purpose-built bund from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), engineered to:
- Contain accidental spills or leaks
- Resist corrosion from harsh industrial chemicals
- Stand up to mechanical impact and wear
- Provide long-term performance without rust or cracking
The design features:
- High side walls to contain splashes and provide visual safety boundaries
- Grated platform for airflow and drainage separation
- Forklift clearance cut-outs for safe positioning during install
- Bold yellow edge highlights for visibility and OH&S compliance
✅ Key Benefits
Corrosion-Proof: Unlike steel or concrete, HDPE won’t degrade in wet or chemical environments
Council & EPA Friendly: Helps meet spill containment requirements
Custom Fit: Designed around the exact size of the IBC tank and operating clearances
Permanent, Low-Maintenance: No painting, rustproofing, or waterproofing required
Built for Industrial Environments
Installed directly on the plant floor, this unit is now in daily use — helping the client safely store and dispense industrial liquids without risking spill contamination or safety violations.
