Detailed Job Description

In the first instance, alterations to the bund walls had to be made by an externally appointed civil works contractor to increase the overall containment volume of the bunds.

Once the walls were extended and the bunds were fully steam cleaned and prepared, Liquid Applied Membranes applied a resin primer to seal the surfaces.

Following curing of the primer a double layer of fibreglass matting and tissue veil is applied and simultaneously “wet out” with the polyester resins to form a totally seamless reinforced lining to all internal surfaces of the bund. Finally the resin top coat is applied incorporating a non-slip aggregate on the base with highlighted walkway steps in traffic yellow.

Once completed the environment agency were so satisfied and pleased with the end results of the bund lining works that has been achieved, they are now putting Liquid Applied Membranes solution forward to others requiring similar works.
