COMMERCIAL AND PRIVATE PREMISES INFORMATION

5000Bundnew.JPG (21739 bytes) The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001 came into force on 1st March 2002.  Our New Plastic Bunded Tanks comply with these regulations - so you can buy with confidence.  The standards apply to all industrial and commercial premises such as factories and hotels, and institutions like schools and hospitals.


Impact of legislations on businesses  and institutions -
It covers above ground storage of oil, where over 200 litres / 44 gallons are stored. 
Since September 2002 it has been a requirement that a tank with a bund must be used for all new installations.
  
A bund must be used from September 2003 for any existing tanks at significant risk i.e. those that are sited 10 metres from any inland freshwaters or coastal waters or 50 metres from a well or borehole.
Any existing installation prior to September 2001 must now do a risk assent and if there is a significant risk it must be bunded.  If there is not a significant risk the tank must in any case be bunded by September 2005.

A bund must be used from September 2005 for all existing oil storage.

Below we have reproduced information on these regulations as provided by OFTEC  - please see bottom of the page for more details.

All our bunded tanks comply with the legislation and carry a manufacturer's guarantee.  You are welcome to send for our free handout on this new legislation.
We can offer a cost effective way of complying with these regulations by sourcing our Bunded Tanks from more than one UK manufacturer to give you the kind of choice that some suppliers are unable to offer.
Each Tank carries a manufacturer's guarantee and they conform to OFTEC standards.  Finally, many come with gauges, including electronic as standard.

OFCERT LICENCE is an Oil Industry Technical Certification
All our Fuel Tanks are made by OFTEC Registered Manufacturers.

It is manufactured using the same standards for stiffening as the storage tank (BS799 part 5). 

Outside of tank and inside of tank coated with fluid to leave an oily film to prevent corrosion.
