Railroad Bunding

A railroad bund (also known as a railroad spill containment bund or rail track bund) is a specialised spill containment system designed to fit around railway tracks, locomotives, or rail yards. It is intended to prevent hazardous substances such as oil, fuel, chemicals, and spills from contaminating the environment.

What Is It Used For?

1. Fuel Spill Prevention
   • Catches leaks from locomotives, rail tankers, or refueling stations.
   • Prevents oil/fuel from seeping into soil or waterways.
2. Regulatory Compliance
   • Meets environmental laws (e.g ISO 14001, and the WHS Regulations).
   • Required in rail depots, fueling areas, and maintenance zones.
3. Chemical Containment
   • Used near railcar loading/unloading areas for chemicals or liquid cargo.
4. Plastic Pellet or Nurdles Containment

• Catches nurdle spills from railway shipment.

1. Emergency Response
   • Acts as a first line of defense during accidental spills until cleanup crews arrive.
