Hazardous & Chemical Liquid Containment: 20Ft X 8Ft Open Mesh Floor Bunded Store
Storing large quantities of oil, lubricants, agricultural chemicals, or liquid hazardous waste requires strict adherence to environmental regulations and worker safety standards. Standard shipping containers lack the specialized containment sumps necessary to prevent hazardous spills, leaks, and ground contamination on industrial and commercial properties.
A 20Ft X 8Ft Open Mesh Floor Bunded Store provides a fully compliant, heavy-duty hazardous material storage solution built within a robust 20-foot shipping container footprint. Engineered with a continuous, high-capacity lower steel bund (sump) covered by galvanized removable mesh flooring, this specialized container catches spillage directly at the source while providing a safe, clean walking and staging surface.
What Is a 20Ft X 8Ft Open Mesh Floor Bunded Store?
A 20Ft X 8Ft Open Mesh Floor Bunded Store is an industrial safety container designed specifically for the secure bulk storage of drums, IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers), paints, solvents, and fuel tanks. Built to standard ISO dimensions (20'L x 8'W x 8'6"H), the traditional timber or plywood flooring is replaced entirely with a raised, heavy-duty galvanized steel mesh grate resting above a seam-welded liquid retention bund.
If a drum, valve, or hose leaks, the liquid drains immediately through the open mesh matrix into the sealed sump below, keeping workers' boots and handling equipment out of pooled chemicals. Featuring high- and low-level louvered vents for hazardous vapor dissipation, heavy-duty cargo doors with weather seals, and an integrated lockbox, this unit delivers total regulatory compliance and asset protection.

Key Benefits of a 20-Foot Bunded Store with Open Mesh Flooring
1. Superior Spill Containment and Environmental Compliance
The primary feature of a 20Ft X 8Ft Open Mesh Floor Bunded Store is its integrated leak-proof sump. Engineered to hold a significant percentage of the total stored fluid volume (or 110% of the largest single container stored), it prevents toxic spills from reaching groundwater, soil, or site drainage.
2. Enhanced Worker Safety and Clean Walkways
The removable galvanized mesh floor ensures that any drips, leaks, or condensation pass directly through to the bund below. This leaves a dry, non-slip floor surface for personnel loading drums or pumping liquids, minimizing slip hazards and chemical exposure.
3. Integrated Vapor Control & Fire Hazard Reduction
Equipped with strategically positioned high-level and low-level louvered vents, the container maintains natural airflow. This continuous air exchange prevents dangerous buildup of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and flammable vapors.
4. Heavy-Duty Industrial Construction
Built from corrugated Cor-Ten steel with internal tie-down point options, secure double doors, and a factory steel lockbox, this store protects valuable chemical inventory from both extreme weather and unauthorized tampering.
Popular Applications Across Industries
-
Agriculture & Farming: Safe storage for pesticides, herbicides, liquid fertilizers, tractor fuels, and oils in rural environments.
-
Manufacturing & Industrial Facilities: Holds raw chemical drums, lubricants, coolants, paints, solvents, and waste oil bins.
-
Construction & Contracting Jobsites: Serves as a central fuel station and hazardous material depot for jobsite equipment maintenance.
Essential Site Prep and Safety Guidelines
-
Firm, Level Footing: Place the unit on a flat concrete pad, asphalt surface, or compacted gravel bed to keep the bund level and ensure chemical fluids distribute evenly across the sump floor.
-
Clear Access for Sump Maintenance: Position the container so maintenance teams can easily access the floor grates for routine inspections, cleaning, or vacuum-pumping pooled fluids.
-
Segregation & Compatibility Check: Always check chemical compatibility charts (SDS) prior to storing mixed chemicals within the same bunded zone to prevent reactive contamination.
