Temporary bunding mat designed for short-term spill containment and drum storage.

Temporary bunding provides short-term spill and liquid containment for maintenance, construction and mobile work zones where permanent bunding is not practical. Designed for fast deployment and removal, temporary bunding creates a controlled containment area to help prevent spills, wash water and leaks from spreading beyond the work site. Trade Enviro supplies temporary bunding solutions suited to industrial and commercial environments where flexibility, speed and environmental protection are required.

Why Choose Temporary Bunding?

Fast Deployment

Lightweight, foldable design allows rapid setup for spill response, maintenance, or short-term containment.

Built for Australian Conditions

Manufactured from UV-stabilised HD PVC with fusion-welded seams for durability in harsh outdoor environments.

Easy to Transport and Store

Compact and collapsible when not in use, making it practical for multi-site operations and remote locations.

Compliance-Ready Containment

Helps meet EPA and site safety requirements without permanent installation or civil works.

Applications

Temporary bunding is suited to operations that require rapid deployment, flexible containment, and short-term compliance without permanent installation:

  • Maintenance and cleaning activities
    Provide localised containment during servicing of tanks, vessels, and equipment without interrupting surrounding operations.
  • Emergency spill response
    Keep units on standby to quickly contain leaks from drums, machinery, or mobile plant anywhere on site.
  • Relocatable or temporary worksites
    Well suited to construction camps, drilling operations, and mobile work zones where permanent bunding is impractical.
  • Chemical transfer and decanting
    Create an instant bunded area for handling liquids in field or remote environments.
  • Hardstand and finished surfaces
    Contain spills without cutting concrete, trenching, or modifying existing surfaces.

Key takeaway: Temporary bunding provides fast, compliant spill containment where flexibility and speed matter — without the cost or disruption of permanent infrastructure.
