| Resumen |
This report examines various Codes of Practice, mainly from the UK and the US, on the bulk storage of liquid chemicals and industrial materials, and compares precautions taken to restrict the loss of such materials. The report discusses the philosophy of bunding and describes the principal design features of bunds such as material of construction, height, capacity and drainage of surface water. Factors which determine bund efficiency are assessed. The report concludes that as a result of the ad hoc manner in which bunding requirements have often been developed, there is no individual Code of Practice which relates specifically to bunding, and there are anomalies in current Codes on the storage of industrial materials. |
