How Our Bund Emptying Service Works
An overfilled bund can reduce your available containment capacity and make a spill or leak much harder to control. Safe emptying starts with understanding what’s in the bund and making sure it’s handled correctly.
Assessment and identification: We assess the condition of the bund and the likely contents, whether that’s rainwater, oily water, contamination, sludge or spill residues.
Safe pump-out: We remove liquids using suitable equipment, helping you restore capacity without creating a bigger problem elsewhere on site.
Compliant handling: Where contents are contaminated, we make sure they’re managed through the correct waste route with clear documentation.
Bund cleaning if needed: If residues, debris or sludge remain after emptying, we can support with bund cleaning to help return the area to a better working condition.
Practical advice: If recurring build-up is the issue, we can help you determine whether the cause is weather, poor housekeeping, transfer losses, leaking fittings or wider bund maintenance issues.
Bund Emptying, Simplified
When bund levels start creeping up, you need a quick, compliant solution that removes the guesswork. Hazport helps you deal with overfilled bunds safely, clearly and with minimal disruption to site operations.

FAQs About Bund Emptying
We can support with any of your bund emptying needs, including IBC bunds, drum bunds, oil bunds, fuel bunds and any other secondary containment systems on industrial and commercial sites.
Not usually. Bund water shouldn’t be discharged directly into surface drains, as it may be contaminated and cause environmental harm. Even rainwater can pick up oil or residues, so it typically needs to be assessed first. Discharge to the foul sewer is only appropriate in limited cases and may require permission.
Because liquid build-up reduces the bund’s available containment capacity. GOV.UK’s oil storage guidance sets out that bunds are there to provide secondary containment and retain appropriate capacity if something goes wrong.
