Is your oil tank bunded? Learn about the importance of a bunded oil tank and our latest Dorset oil tank installation in this article.
Oil tanks come as either a single skinned or double skin also known as a bunded oil tank. Its fairly self explanatory single skin tanks have one outer wall, the danger is should there be an oil leak – oil will leak straight on to the floor by the tank and essentially into the environment causing pollution or entering ground water. Single skin tanks are fairly low cost and can serve a good purpose in certain situations. However a bunded oil tank has two walls, an outer one and an inner one. These two layers increase the security of your tank, making it more resilient to damage. If the outer wall is compromised, oil is still secure inside the inner wall. If the inner wall fails then the oil will simply fill the gap (“bund”) between the two walls, meaning it is less likely to pollute the surrounding area, or seep into ground water.
