10 Ft Bunded Shipping Container

The 10 ft bunded shipping container is a compact, self-contained unit made for safely holding liquids, chemicals, and hazardous materials on site. It combines a primary storage interior with a built-in secondary containment sump, or bund, inside a single portable steel structure. The reduced footprint allows placement in space-constrained settings while still delivering compliant storage for drums, Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), and small equipment.

Key Features

• Integrated Bunded Containment: A liquid-tight, welded secondary containment sump is built into the floor and engineered to hold the contents of the largest stored vessel should a leak or spill occur, helping prevent environmental contamination.
• Durable Steel Construction: Made from heavy-gauge, corrosion-resistant steel to handle demanding industrial and environmental conditions.
• Secure and Lockable: Lockable double doors on one end keep the contents protected and restrict unauthorized access.
• Compact and Portable Design: The 10-foot length offers a space-efficient option where a standard 20-foot unit will not fit, and its structure is built for transport and relocation with appropriate equipment.
• Weather-Resistant Exterior: Steel construction and sealed doors form a weather-resistant barrier that protects contents from rain and snow.

What sets a bunded container apart from a standard dry van is a critical environmental safety feature. The "bund" is a secondary containment system, essentially a large, shallow, leak-proof tray forming the container floor. This means any leak or spill from drums, tanks, or machinery inside is captured within the unit rather than seeping into the ground or draining into water systems.

For facilities that must meet spill-prevention regulations but lack space for larger units, the 10 ft bunded container is a practical answer. It acts as a portable, self-contained hazardous-material locker. Built from steel, it provides the same structural integrity and security as a standard shipping container with the added benefit of integrated environmental protection. The unit typically features double doors with integral locking bars and a smooth interior that eases loading and cleaning.

This bunded container is intended for commercial and industrial work where liquids must be stored. Suitable uses include holding 55-gallon drums of oils, fuels, or other chemicals; housing small IBC totes; secure containment for hazardous-material waste accumulation; chemical storage areas at manufacturing, agricultural, or processing facilities; and on-site storage of fuels and lubricants for fleet maintenance or construction operations. It works as a standalone unit supporting compliance with spill prevention, control, and countermeasure (SPCC) best practices.
