Secondary and chemical containment lining
Porous concrete and cracked joints let spilled acid, alkali, or process product travel through the bund and reach surrounding soil.
The need for secondary and chemical containment lining
BHI Coatings performs secondary and chemical containment lining across Alvin and the Texas Gulf Coast. Porous concrete and cracked joints give spilled acid, alkali, or process product a route through the bund and into the soil underneath. A containment area that leaks defeats its only purpose and puts the facility out of step with its SPCC plan. A failed bund is what turns a contained spill into a reportable release.
How BHI Coatings does secondary and chemical containment lining
We prepare the concrete, fill cracks and joints, and line the containment zone with a chemical-resistant system matched to the worst-case spill, drawing on the Belzona 4311, 4341, and 4361 coatings. The lining bridges the joints and seals the porous surface, so the bund holds liquid instead of wicking it away. It is all cold-applied, with no hot work.
Typically applied with Belzona 4311, Belzona 4341, Belzona 4361, matched to the service conditions.
The containment area holds the volume the SPCC plan requires and keeps a spill where it lands instead of in the soil.
More Tank & Containment Lining applications
Bund walls spall from the inside out, exposing rebar and opening cold-joint cracks until the wall no longer holds its rated volume.
