Bund and Containment Cleaning

Bund and Containment Cleaning

bund and containment cleaning is usually required where secondary containment areas holding spills, sludge, contaminated washwater or deposited residues. In practical terms, the challenge is rarely just the disposal booking. It is deciding how the waste should be contained, segregated, removed and documented without increasing the risk to the site or mixing incompatible materials together. That is particularly important where the waste includes tank farms, bund walls, plinths, intercept points and containment sumps.

Mantank supports bund and containment cleaning for industrial and commercial operators who need a route that is technically workable on site as well as compliant on paper. Some jobs are planned and repeatable. Others arise after maintenance, decontamination, shutdown activity or an operational incident has created a more awkward waste stream than the site can reasonably manage in-house. In those cases the removal method may involve pumping, vacuum transfer, containerisation, staged loading or temporary segregation before the final disposal leg is confirmed.

What matters in practice is that cleaning before inspection, after spill response or ahead of engineering works. The service therefore has to deal with the physical state of the waste and the site conditions at the same time rather than treating collection and disposal as separate decisions.
