Drive-over liquid containment

Rubber floor bunding for wash bays and traffic areas

Create a contained area without forming a permanent concrete kerb. Heavy-duty rubber bunding can define wash zones, control low-level spills and maintain vehicle or forklift access when it is selected and installed for the traffic duty.

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.

How we scope and quote

From site details to a quoted wash bay setup

  1. Send the job detailsVehicles, wash activity, location, photos and water destination.
  2. We check the wash area and water pathContainment, collection, treatment and routing are reviewed together.
  3. We price the right equipmentEquipment, options, exclusions and the next information required.

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.
