Application
What will cross the bunding?
The right product must balance drive-over access, durability, liquid control and safe movement through the area.
Wash bays
Defined washdown zones
Contain wash water on suitable slabs and guide it toward a collection point.
Workshop
Oily work areas
Create a low-profile barrier around maintenance or chemical-handling zones.
Warehouse
Forklift traffic
Maintain regular access with a profile selected for the vehicle and crossing frequency.
Upgrade
Existing concrete floors
Add containment where forming a new civil kerb is impractical.
Wash water and runoff
What is required for a sealed installation?
Surface preparation, corners, joins and termination points matter as much as the rubber profile itself.
01
Survey
Confirm floor condition, falls, traffic routes and required contained area.
02
Prepare
Clean and prepare the substrate to suit the nominated fixing and sealant system.
03
Install
Set straight runs, corners, joins and transitions without creating bypass points.
04
Inspect
Check adhesion, sealing and traffic performance, then include bunding in routine site inspections.
Information needed
Rubber bunding selection inputs
These details let us size the equipment and identify questions that should be resolved before pricing or construction.
- Required containment area and volume
- Cars, trucks, forklifts or pedestrian crossings
- Crossing angle and traffic frequency
- Concrete condition, coatings and floor contamination
- Corners, doorways and drainage penetrations
- Chemical compatibility and operating temperature
Compare options
Rubber bunding or a permanent kerb?
Rubber profiles are useful where traffic must cross the barrier and retrofit speed matters. Concrete or fabricated kerbs may suit higher containment, harsh impact or permanent no-crossing boundaries.
| Approach | Best fit | Delivery | Commitment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rubber bunding | Drive-over retrofit | Fast | Flexible |
| Fabricated barrier | Defined equipment zones | Moderate | Semi-permanent |
| Concrete kerb | Permanent high containment | Civil works | Fixed |

Questions we are regularly asked
Before you request pricing
Final suitability and regulatory requirements remain specific to the site, water authority and proposed discharge or reuse pathway.
Can vehicles drive over rubber floor bunding?
Yes, when the selected profile is intended for drive-over use and suits the vehicle type, speed, crossing angle and traffic frequency.
How is rubber bunding fixed to the floor?
The fixing and sealing method depends on the product and substrate. Correct surface preparation and continuous sealing are essential.
Can it be installed on coated concrete?
Potentially, but coating condition and compatibility with adhesives or sealants must be checked. A weak coating can become the point of failure.
Does rubber bunding provide a compliant spill volume?
The contained area and profile can be used to calculate volume, but the required capacity is site and risk specific and should be confirmed before installation.
