Regulations state that all oil storage tanks above ground MUST have secondary containment.

As a site operator you have a duty of care to prevent leaks from equipment such as transformers polluting the environment.

ReBund from Andel Ltd is a well tried and tested, easy to install, low-cost bunding or containment system which is equally effective in keeping water out.  Developed along with the Green Business Network, ReBund not only makes a major contribution to second-life, recycled products but is also a first-class, strong, durable and economic long-term solution.

ReBund is a heavy-duty, modular, bolt-together on-site system made from recycled post-industrial plastic-waste sections for either new or existing installations.  It can be configured easily with various support brackets.

ReBund is a lower cost option than normal construction and is equally effective.  It benefits your budget and the environment.

CONTROL COSTS

lower site preparation costs
lower material costs
lower labour costs (faster installation than traditional methods)
lower maintenance costs
No need to suspend normal operations during installation

MINIMAL GROUND DISTURBANCE

ReBund is designed to fix to the ground with minmial ground disturbance.  On very soft ground the support plates can be exchanged for special posts concreted-in to a suitable depth.

REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

The environmental benefits of ReBund are more than using less concrete. Made of 100% high quality recycled plastic residue from post-industrial usage which would otherwise go to landfill, ReBund uses the disadvantage of plastic’s long-life for a durable and robust product. 

Additionally, any waste ReBund (offcuts or fully dismantled systems) can be returned to the factory for remoulding.  For every tonne used, 1.6 tonnes of CO2 is removed from the environment and 1.8 tonnes of oil are saved for every tonne of recycled plastic used.

ReBund is made of a proportion of LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene), HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene), ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Co-polymer), HIPS (High Impact PolyStyrene) and other thermoplastic materials.

The different polymers are ground, mixed and fused under high temperatures and pressures then processed into moulds.

The surface is knot-free, evenly coloured and shows a textured structure.

A 3-hour flame retardant version is available if fire is a significant risk.

KEY BENEFITS

COST EFFECTIVE: material and labour costs combined are reduced compared to traditional bunding/containment systems.

LOWER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Rebund is made from post-industrial waste plastic and consists of LDPE, HDPE, PP and other plastics.  Repurposing this waste results in a product that reduces landfill and benefits from the long-term degradation period.  Additionally using rebund requires much less concrete than traditional methods contributing to CO2 emissions reduction.

QUICK AND EASY to design, build and if needed move/reconstruct.  Whilst a solid product when constructed, unlike concrete systems, rebund can be dismantled easily without any major plant equipment.
