Secondary Containment System Bund Leak Testing
Bund Leak Testing – Specialist Compliance Service
IEM offers Secondary Containment System (Containment Bund) Leak Testing to meet the obligations of HSNO COP 47 and achieve Hazardous Substance Certification.
The process involves filling the bund with water and carrying out a hydro test, which measures leakage/permeability rates of the compound with respect to the atmospheric conditions. The test relies on specially-developed monitoring equipment.
We will take care of the whole process: filling, testing and reporting; providing a simple solution for your business.

The Regulations
Every Hazardous Substance Tank requires a Secondary Containment System to contain the contents of the primary tank in the case of a failure. They usually take the form of a concrete or earthen bund.
Secondary containment bunds are, where practicable, required to be ‘flood tested’ at intervals of not more than 10 years, as per the recent (draft) Secondary Containment Systems Guidance for PCBUs.
The method for such a test is not obvious, requiring specialist equipment and experience with regulatory precedent. In the past, this aspect of compliance was covered by HSNO COP 47.
With 15 years in the industry, IEM Director Chris Carswell can ensure your Secondary Containment Bunds receive adequate inspection, testing and documentation to achieve statutory compliance.
