Corrosion-resistant polyethylene drum bund pallets and portable foam-walled spill catchment trays for 205L drums, IBCs, small chemical containers, and mobile machinery.

Comprehensive Small-to-Medium Secondary Containment

UK MANUFACTURED • CIRIA C736 COMPLIANT • CHEMICAL RESISTANT

Preventing accidental spills, drum leaks, and chemical drips from contaminating workshop floors and entering drainage systems is a core legal requirement under UK environmental law. Cowens provides a complete range of rigid moulded polyethylene (PE) bunds and portable flexible foam-walled spill bunds engineered specifically for small-to-medium container containment.

Whether you require permanent forklift-accessible drum pallets for chemical stores or lightweight, roll-up flexible bunds for field maintenance and mobile vehicle containment, our secondary spill bunds ensure full compliance with the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) Regulations.

1. Heavy-Duty Rigid Moulded Polyethylene (PE) Bunds

Manufactured from 100% medium-density UV-stabilized polyethylene, our rigid bunded pallets offer exceptional structural strength and complete chemical immunity against aggressive acids, alkalis, oils, and industrial solvents. Designed with removable mesh grids for effortless sump cleaning and integrated forklift pockets for rapid relocation.

Key Rigid PE Features:

  • 110% Sump Capacity: Engineered to hold 110% of the single largest container or 25% of aggregate volume stored.
  • Corrosion-Proof Construction: Rotomoulded single-piece design eliminates weak points, rust, and seams.
  • Forklift & Pallet Truck Compatible: Broad base pockets facilitate easy transport when fully loaded or empty.
  • Optional Drop-Front & Ramp Models: Simplifies loading heavy 205-litre drums using standard drum trolleys.

  • Memory-Foam Perimeter Walls: Drive-in / drive-out capability allows easy positioning of generators, pumps, and hand tools.
  • Heavy-Duty PVC/PU Fabric: High-frequency welded seams resistant to fuels, lubricants, coolants, and water.
  • Compact & Rollable: Folds down neatly with securing straps for vehicle storage or emergency spill kit inclusion.
  • No Assembly Required: Ready for immediate deployment on un-level terrain, concrete pads, or field locations.
