10 ft x 8 ft Flat Floor Bunded Storage Container – Corten Steel, 3mm Durbar Floor

A 10 ft x 8 ft flat floor bunded storage container – Corten steel, 3mm Durbar floor provides compliant, secondary containment for storing hazardous liquids, oils, fuels, and chemicals with the added benefit of a flat, anti-slip walking surface and extra length for two IBCs. For example, this unit is perfect for storing two IBCs (intermediate bulk containers) side by side, or multiple drums, where staff need to walk safely inside to access stored items. However, unlike raised bunded containers with stepped interiors, this flat floor design features an integral bund below a level 3mm Durbar steel floor. As a result, you receive a spill-containment unit that eliminates trip hazards while maintaining full regulatory compliance for up to 2,000 litres of stored liquid. Learn about oil storage regulations from official HSE guidelines.

Why Choose a 10ft Flat Floor Bunded Container?

Standard 8ft bunded containers hold only one IBC. In contrast, this 10ft unit accommodates two IBCs side by side (or up to 8 x 205L drums) with comfortable access space. Consequently, the flat floor design presents a completely level surface from door to rear wall, eliminating trip hazards at the threshold. Moreover, the 3mm Durbar floor provides excellent anti-slip properties, reducing slip risks when handling liquids. Thus, you gain both increased capacity and enhanced safety. See bunded storage ideas on Pinterest for layout inspiration.

Key Features of This Flat Floor Bunded Container

The 3mm Durbar floor and 10ft length are the defining features of this unit. For instance, Durbar steel features a raised chequer plate pattern that provides excellent grip even when wet or oily. Similarly, the flat floor design eliminates trip hazards at the door threshold, unlike raised bunded alternatives. Furthermore, the integral bund sits below the Durbar floor with a capacity of approximately 2,200 litres – sufficient for 110% of two IBCs (2,000L) plus 10% as required by regulations. Finally, the Corten steel construction provides exceptional corrosion resistance without requiring painting. Check UK oil storage regulations before ordering.

Bund Capacity and Compliance

This unit is designed to meet UK oil storage regulations for two IBCs. For example, the integral bund below the Durbar floor creates a containment volume of approximately 2,200 litres. Likewise, the seamless welded construction eliminates weak points where leaks could escape. If you need greater containment capacity, larger bund depths are available on request. Browse our bunded storage catalog for matching accessories.

The Durbar Floor Advantage for 10ft Length

The 3mm Durbar floor offers several practical benefits for this larger footprint. First, the raised chequer plate pattern (approx. 3mm high) provides anti-slip protection for staff carrying drums or operating pallet trucks across the full 10ft length. Second, the flat floor allows easy cleaning and spill management along the entire 3-metre interior. Third, the 3mm thickness provides strength for heavy loads up to 3,500kg distributed. Finally, the level threshold means drum trolleys roll straight in without lifting. Read our bunded storage guide before purchasing.

Corten Steel Durability for Outdoor Storage

Outdoor liquid storage demands weather-resistant materials. First, this container is manufactured from Corten steel (grade S355J2W) that resists atmospheric corrosion. Second, the 2.5mm wall thickness and 3mm Durbar floor provide structural strength for heavy loads. Third, the external floor is raised on small feet, allowing airflow underneath. Finally, the self-weathering patina means no painting or ongoing maintenance is required.

What’s Included and Access Options

First, every unit includes the 10ft x 8ft Corten steel container with integral bund and 3mm Durbar flat floor. Second, lockable double doors at one end provide wide access for pallets and drum trolleys. Third, a bund inspection hatch is included for checking liquid levels. Finally, lifting points are fitted for forklift or crane handling.

For instance, add a galvanised steel removable ramp for ground-level access. Likewise, internal drum racks or shelving can be installed. Contact our bunded storage team for custom configurations.

Final Verdict

In summary, this 10ft flat floor bunded container delivers compliant hazardous liquid storage for two IBCs with enhanced safety for staff access. As a result, site managers can store larger volumes of oils and chemicals safely while eliminating trip hazards at the door threshold. Consequently, one chemical distributor replaced two 8ft units with this single 10ft flat floor model, reducing their footprint by 30% while improving safety. Therefore, choose this 10ft model if you need to store two IBCs. If you need only one IBC, our 8ft flat floor bunded container is more cost-effective. If you require a raised (non-flat) floor, our standard raised bunded container is available. Thus, request a free quote with your required bund depth and delivery postcode today.
