20Ft X 8Ft Open Mesh Floor Bunded Store

Introduction

Safe and organised storage is essential on construction sites, industrial facilities, mining operations, farms, and workshops across Australia. When hazardous liquids, chemicals, oils, or fuel containers need to be stored securely, choosing the right containment solution helps improve workplace safety while supporting environmental compliance.

A Open Mesh Floor Bunded Store provides a practical solution for storing drums, IBCs, and other liquid containers. The open mesh flooring allows spills to drain into the bund below while keeping stored items elevated, making inspections and clean-up more efficient. A 20ft x 8ft model offers generous storage capacity for businesses that require a durable and secure storage system without compromising accessibility.

Why Choose a 20Ft x 8Ft Bunded Storage Unit?

A larger storage unit is ideal for businesses handling significant quantities of hazardous substances. The 20ft x 8ft size offers ample room for organising equipment, containers, and materials while helping maintain a tidy and compliant workplace.

The spacious layout also makes it easier to separate different products, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and improving stock management. Whether used as a permanent installation or a site-based storage solution, this size delivers flexibility for a wide range of industries.

Key Features

High-Capacity Spill Containment

One of the main advantages of this storage solution is its integrated bund, which is designed to capture accidental spills and leaks. This helps protect surrounding surfaces, waterways, and soil while reducing environmental risks.

Open Mesh Flooring

The mesh floor supports safe storage by allowing liquids to pass through into the bund below. Containers remain elevated above any collected liquid, helping maintain cleaner storage conditions and making inspections easier.

Secure Construction

Manufactured from heavy-duty steel, these units are built to withstand demanding Australian conditions. Lockable access points help protect valuable materials while restricting unauthorised entry.

Excellent Ventilation

The open design promotes natural airflow, reducing moisture build-up and improving ventilation for stored products where appropriate. This can also assist with routine visual inspections.

Easy Access

Wide access doors allow forklifts and pallet jacks to move goods efficiently, helping reduce manual handling and improve productivity during loading and unloading.

Common Applications

A 20ft x 8ft bunded store is suitable for many industries where hazardous liquids require secure storage.

Typical applications include:

• Construction sites
• Mining operations
• Manufacturing facilities
• Agricultural properties
• Transport depots
• Warehouses
• Government infrastructure projects
• Mechanical workshops
• Utility companies

Its versatility makes it suitable for both temporary project sites and permanent industrial locations.

Benefits for Australian Businesses

Improved Environmental Protection

Containing spills before they spread helps minimise environmental damage and supports responsible site management. This is especially important where chemicals or fuels are stored outdoors.

Better Workplace Safety

Keeping hazardous materials organised reduces trip hazards, improves housekeeping, and allows staff to access products safely. Clearly designated storage areas also contribute to safer daily operations.

Increased Storage Efficiency

The generous internal space enables businesses to organise stock logically, making inventory easier to locate and manage. Efficient layouts can also improve workflow across busy worksites.

Long-Term Durability

Heavy-duty steel construction provides excellent strength for demanding industrial environments. With suitable protective coatings, these units can withstand Australia’s varied weather conditions while maintaining reliable performance.

Flexible Installation

Many businesses appreciate the ability to relocate container-based storage when project requirements change. This flexibility makes them suitable for evolving worksites and expanding operations.

Factors to Consider Before Purchasing

Storage Capacity

Estimate both your current and future storage requirements to ensure the unit can comfortably accommodate drums, pallets, IBCs, and other equipment.

Bund Capacity

The bund should provide adequate containment for the volume of hazardous liquids being stored while meeting applicable workplace and environmental requirements.

Security Requirements

Consider lockable doors, reinforced construction, and access controls if valuable or hazardous products require additional protection.

Site Access

Ensure there is sufficient room for delivery, positioning, and ongoing forklift access once the unit is installed.

Weather Exposure

If the store will be located outdoors, select a model designed for Australian environmental conditions with appropriate corrosion protection.

Maintenance Tips

Regular maintenance helps maximise the lifespan and performance of a bunded storage unit.

Recommended practices include:

• Inspect the bund for accumulated liquids.
• Keep the mesh floor free from debris.
• Check doors, hinges, and locking mechanisms.
• Inspect protective coatings for signs of damage.
• Clean spills promptly.
• Schedule routine safety inspections.

Consistent maintenance helps ensure the unit remains safe, functional, and ready for daily use.

Choosing the Right Supplier

Not all storage solutions offer the same quality or performance. When selecting a supplier, consider:

Quality Manufacturing

Look for products manufactured from robust materials designed for industrial use.

Compliance Support

Choose suppliers that understand Australian workplace and environmental expectations and can provide suitable product specifications.

Customisation Options

Depending on your operation, you may benefit from shelving, additional security features, lighting, or specialised access configurations.

Reliable Customer Service

A knowledgeable supplier can help identify the most suitable storage solution based on your operational needs and intended application.

Conclusion

A Open Mesh Floor Bunded Store measuring 20ft x 8ft is a practical investment for businesses requiring secure, organised, and environmentally responsible storage for hazardous liquids. Its combination of spill containment, durable construction, ventilation, and generous capacity makes it suitable for a broad range of Australian industries.

By selecting a well-built storage unit and maintaining it regularly, businesses can improve site safety, support efficient operations, and better protect the surrounding environment for years to come.
