On-site fuel storage allows a range of benefits to a project, saving you time, money and resources when refuelling. Viking Industrial provides an extensive range of Self-bunded Fuel Storage Tanks to suit all applications.
From 500 to 100,000 litres, and with mobile or static options, our fuel tanks are suitable for storing and dispensing Diesel, Petrol, Aviation Fuels, Lubricants and Diesel Exhaust Fluid.
Industries that take advantage of self-bunded tanks include mining, aviation, marine, rail, road transport and chemical companies.
What is a Self-bunded Tank?
Self-bunded tank (or double-walled tank) is a tank within a tank. It has double steel walls that make it safer to store fuel, diesel and other liquids. The space between the two walls will provide a barrier for any leakages, reducing the risk of the liquid escaping into the environment. The capacity of the outer tank is 110% of the inner tank.
Advantages of Self-bunded Tanks
Versatility
Self-bunded tanks are suitable for storing various liquids such as diesel, petrol, petrochemicals, biodiesel and waste oil. Almost no pre-preparation is needed, just power and a flat surface.
Transportation
Self-bunded tanks can be easily relocated on-site and used in remote locations, are perfect for Australian conditions and are easily installed on your site. Installation is simple, and we offer a range of additional monitoring equipment that can fit your requirements.
Mining, rental and project companies will often use self-bunded tanks where fuel and oil storage requirements are temporary during construction. Tanks can be operational within hours of delivery, with no specialist civil engineering needed.
Durability
Our self-bunded diesel tanks are built tough. The double steel walls prevent leaks and spillage of the liquids contained. If, however, the liquid leaks through the first wall, there is the second wall to prevent the liquid from spilling through and contaminating the entire area. Spillage through the first wall (also called the bund wall) is highly unlikely as it is a robust structure designed to prevent leaks or deluge of the liquids stored. The durability and strength of a self-bunded fuel storage tank is something you can rely on.
Cost-Effective
When running generators and other equipment on-site, the refuelling method will play a large part in the cost of your operation. With on-site fuel storage, the time and resources needed to refuel are significantly reduced, and easy installation also minimises set-up costs.
For projects that change size over time, new tanks can be added and linked together to form a larger storage facility – called a ‘Tank Farm’.
