10ft Bunded Storage Container: Purpose Built for Chemical and Hazardous Material Storage
The 10ft Bunded Storage Container is a specialist unit designed from the ground up for the safe, compliant, and secure storage of chemicals, fuels, oils, solvents, and other hazardous substances. Built from a one trip Corten steel container in near pristine condition, this unit combines the structural strength of a shipping container with purpose engineered safety features including a fully welded steel bunded floor, dedicated ventilation system, and enhanced door security.
The bunded floor is the defining feature of this container. It acts as a built in secondary containment system, capturing any spills or leaks within the container itself rather than allowing them to reach the ground or surrounding environment. This is a regulatory requirement for many types of chemical and fuel storage, and this container satisfies it without the need for separate bund trays, catch pits, or external containment structures.
Why Bunded Storage Matters
Environmental regulations in most jurisdictions require that chemicals and hazardous liquids be stored within secondary containment capable of holding the full volume of the largest vessel stored inside, plus an additional safety margin. A bunded container provides this containment as part of the structure itself. If a drum splits, a valve leaks, or a container is knocked over, the spill is captured within the welded steel floor pan and cannot escape into drains, soil, or waterways. This protects your operation from environmental liability, regulatory fines, and costly cleanup operations.
Key Features
- 3mm Durbar steel bunded floor: A heavy gauge chequer plate steel floor fully welded into the container, creating an integral spill containment sump. The raised diamond pattern provides grip underfoot and prevents drums from sliding during access.
- 12 ventilation points: Strategically positioned vents throughout the container ensure continuous airflow, preventing the buildup of harmful vapors and maintaining safe atmospheric conditions inside the unit at all times.
- Hinged double doors: Full width exterior double doors provide unrestricted access for loading drums, IBCs, and palletized chemicals with forklifts or hand trucks.
- Double locking bars per door: Two independent locking bars on each door leaf provide superior security against unauthorized access to hazardous contents.
- Factory fitted lockbox: A welded steel shroud protects the padlock from cutting and prying, adding physical security beyond the locking bars alone.
- Forklift pockets: Integrated pockets allow the loaded or empty container to be lifted and repositioned on site as operational needs change.

Construction
- Corten steel shell: The entire container is fabricated from high strength weathering steel that resists corrosion naturally. In environments where chemicals, salt, or industrial atmospheres accelerate material degradation, Corten steel provides significantly longer service life than standard mild steel.
- One trip condition: This unit has made a single ocean voyage and arrives in near new condition with factory applied paint, minimal wear, and fully functional hardware throughout.
- Fully welded bund: The steel floor pan is continuously welded at all seams and joints, creating a liquid tight containment area with no potential leak paths.
Safety and Compliance
- Secondary containment: The bunded floor provides integrated spill capture that satisfies regulatory requirements for chemical and fuel storage without additional external infrastructure.
- Ventilation system: The 12 vent configuration prevents dangerous vapor concentration buildup inside the container, reducing fire and inhalation risks.
- Secure access control: The dual locking bar and lockbox system restricts access to authorized personnel only, which is a standard requirement for hazardous material storage locations.
Ideal Applications
- Chemical drum and IBC storage
- Fuel and oil containment
- Solvent and paint storage
- Agricultural chemical and fertilizer lockup
- Industrial cleaning product storage
- Waste oil and used chemical holding
- Laboratory chemical overflow storage
- Construction site hazardous material management
