Portable Collapsible & Rigid Bunding
Quick-deploy containment for storage, decanting, servicing and spill response across industrial, construction, mining and oil & gas sites.
Models at a Glance
- Rapid Rise: Sidewalls lie flat and float up automatically in a spill for instant containment.
- Ultimate: Hinged ends allow hands-free drive in/out. Ends spring back after vehicles pass.
- Collapsible Wall: Swivel-leg supports let you raise or lower walls as needed.
- Stake Wall: Flexible stakes act like living hinges — walls pop up, collapse and rebound without manual setup.
- Compact: Lightweight, tight-folding design for hazmat and field teams.
- Economy (RPE or Copolymer): Cost-effective L-bracket construction with minimal footprint.
- Rigid Bunds: Higher stiffness with internal brackets for harsh conditions.
Materials & Performance
Options include PVC, Copolymer-2000, XR-5 and RPE to balance weight, durability and chemical resistance. Built to tolerate hydrocarbons, many chemicals, UV exposure, abrasion and rough handling. Common wall heights around 305 mm, with other heights available.
Sizes & Capacities
Standard footprints for drums, IBCs, generators, vehicles and containers. Custom builds available for oversized plant and site-specific dimensions. Capacities range from small service pads to large laydown areas.
Accessories
- Ground mats or tarps to shield the base on abrasive surfaces
- Track belts to protect drive lanes from tyre wear
- Optional drain ports for pump-out
- Repair kits and carry bags for field servicing
Selection Tips
- Maximum throughput: Rapid Rise or Ultimate
- Manual control & simplicity: Collapsible Wall
- Fastest self-springing setup: Stake Wall
- Working from utes/confined stores: Compact
- Budget-conscious containment: Economy models
- Higher rigidity in tough environments: Rigid Bunds
Compliance: When sized and used correctly, these solutions support secondary containment obligations including AS 1940. Confirm compatibility for liquids on site and validate capacity against worst-case spill volumes.
Spill Bund — Foam Sidewall Containment
Low-profile containment for drums, hoses, plant and equipment. Rolls up for transport, deploys quickly on site.
Typical Uses
- Short-term storage of drums and small containers
- Set-down area for liquids and drip-prone parts
- Decanting and transfer stations
- Containment for machinery and equipment on worksites
- Laydown for hydraulic hoses when not in use
Construction & Handling
Heavy-duty, UV-stabilised PVC base with memory-foam sidewalls approximately 100 mm high. Easy to clean and reuse. Custom fabrication available. Compact roll-up design for simple storage and transport.
Compliance
Supports rapid spill response and helps meet environmental obligations when used correctly.
Note: Foam-sidewall spill bund kits have been superseded by mini foam-wall modules in many setups; however made-to-measure bunds can still be supplied on request.
Silt Curtain — Floating Turbidity Control
Engineered for Australian conditions to control suspended sediment during marine and civil works.
Where They’re Used
- Dredging, piling, bridge and port works
- Rockwall and foreshore maintenance, reclamation
- Tailings dams, sediment ponds, high-efficiency basins
- Protecting inlets during maintenance
Class Guide
- Class 1: Low risk — lagoons, ponds, streams with little tide/wave/wind
- Class 2: Medium risk — rivers, calm harbours with moderate forces
- Class 3: High risk — open ocean, exposed harbours, river mouths with strong forces
Supply & Deployment
Standard 20 m modules supplied with skirts furled. Multiple sections pre-connected per pallet for immediate deployment. Pallets numbered in sequence for on-water joining.
Depth & Effectiveness
Skirt depth sized to disrupt flow and promote settling while keeping ~0.5 m off the seabed at low tide. Effectiveness depends on sediment load, curtain design, mooring layout and local hydrodynamics.
Install, Removal & Reuse
Professional installation recommended. Anchor system set first, tow furled curtains at ~2–3 knots, unfurl after anchoring. Reusable if inspected, pressure-washed, dried and stored correctly.
Technical Support
Hydraulics evaluation, anchoring advice and material options. Handles and hardware for rapid deployment. Skirt depths in 0.5 m increments. Custom heavy-duty builds for long-term exposure.
Floating Baffle Curtains
Custom barriers that direct water flow through lagoons, ponds and tanks to increase retention time and improve water quality.
Where They’re Used
- Wastewater treatment lagoons and tanks
- Settling ponds and tailings dams
- Municipal, mining and industrial sites
How They Work
Installed in snake-like paths so water follows a longer route from inlet to outlet. Acts like walls in the water to prevent short-circuiting and improve settling.
Build & Materials
- Engineered geomembrane skirts sized to pond depth and floor profile
- Closed-cell foam flotation (internal) or external bolt-on floats
- Continuous chain ballast for vertical stability
- Hardware specified for acidic or alkaline environments
Design & Options
Each system designed to suit pond shape, wind conditions and water pH. Optional windows/ports for enclosed tanks. Project lifespans up to 20 years. Mooring, anchoring systems and buoys available with technical drawings.
Key Outcomes
- Increased retention time for better treatment efficiency
- Reduced BOD and TSS to improve water quality
- Flexible, economical upgrade without draining existing ponds
Bags & Covers
Covers, carry bags and ground mats to protect equipment, keep kits service-ready and extend bunding life.
IBC & Bunded Pallet Covers
- Keeps rain out so sump capacity remains compliant
- Shields contents from light exposure; leaks directed into pallet sump
- Materials: UV-stabilised PVC in multiple weights (400/610/900 gsm) and colours, including clear panels
- Build options: sleeve or frame-mounted, with zips, velcro, tie-backs, windows, storage pockets
- Fitment: standard footprints for 2-drum, 4-drum, single and double IBCs, plus custom sizing
Spill Kit Covers
- Stops rainwater degrading absorbents in outdoor wheelie-bin spill kits
- Discourages general waste use — kits stay intact and ready
- Custom-fit with PVC weight/colour and closure options (elastic, velcro, sleeve)
- Optional printing or labels for quick identification
Carry Bags
- Purpose-built for portable bunds, spill kits, drain covers and boom
- Water-resistant or breathable panels, hanging points, multiple closures
- Lifting options for hand, forklift or crane handling
Ground Mats
- Underlay to protect bund bases from puncture and abrasion
- Non-woven polypropylene geotextile (~260 gsm), UV-resistant with reinforced edges
- Permeable — allows water to pass, won’t pool under the bund
- Custom sizes to suit site footprint and load
Ultra Flood Stopper
Sandless sandbags for fast, stable flood barriers. Packs flat, activates with fresh water, forms a durable wall.
Key Features
- Under 1 kg before activation; ~305 × 610 mm flat
- Fills and stabilises in about 2.5–3.5 minutes
- Passes 1 m drop tests; approximate filled height ~102 mm
- Filled weight ~13–14 kg; non-toxic, standard landfill disposal
Formats & Options
Bags and tubes in multiple lengths (including ~1.5 m and ~3 m tube options). Optional staging/activation pool: ~1.2 m × 1.2 m × 356 mm, ~525 L capacity.
Activation & Use
- Use fresh water only — do not activate with salt water
- Faster activation with higher water head; agitate briefly during fill
- Form straight or curved walls; wrap in plastic if road salt or seawater may contact barrier
- Not designed to be driven over when activated
Storage, Reuse & Cold Weather
Store sealed, cool and dry for long shelf life. Usable for up to ~3 months in place. Can be recharged by hosing if they lose height. In freezing conditions, pre-activate and avoid moving when frozen.
Flood Barrier — Modular Water Diversion
Australian-made modular flood barriers that deploy fast. Integrated ballasting uses incoming water to stabilise the barrier as levels rise.
How It Works
- Place sections where protection is needed and connect as required
- Water enters the barrier, expanding the structure to lock in place
- As flow increases, the barrier becomes more stable and resists overturning
- Anchor or brace where specified to prevent movement
Key Features
- Quick setup with no special tools
- Reusable design for multiple events
- Premium materials built for weather and chemical exposure
- Alternative to sandbags — no filling, hauling or stacking
- Custom sizes available to suit site layouts
Applications
Natural flood events, storm surge, worksite water diversion and emergency response.
