 1 BUND CONTAINMENT & DRAINAGE

1.1 BUND A
The Nett bund capacity of Bund A will be as follows:

Gross Bund Area (GBA) = 5,477.0 m2

Nett Bund Area (NBA) =

11 9.15 2 5 7.62 2 7 12.20 2 2 10.67 2 14.63 2

GBA







= 3,330.46m 2

1.2 BUND B
The Nett bund capacity of Bund B will be as follows:

Gross Bund Area (GBA) = 1,606.71 m2

Nett Bund Area (NBA) =

2 15.15 2 25.6 2
GBA

= 731.43m 2

1.3 BUND C
The Nett bund capacity of Bund C will be as follows:

Gross Bund Area (GBA) = 1,770.01 m2

Nett Bund Area (NBA) =

3 14.63 2 3 9.15 2 10.67 2

GBA



= 979.01m 2

4 4 4

1.4 BUND D
The Nett bund capacity of Bund D will be as follows:

Gross Bund Area = Nett Bund Area (NBA) = 924.06 m2

1.5 BUNDWALL HEIGHT CALCULATION
Since all bunds i.e. bund A, bund B, bund C & bund D are interconnected via 900mm culverts,
they all act as one cumulative bund. The total Nett combined bund capacity is as follows:

Combined . Nett.Bund .Capacity = 3,330.46 + 731.43 + 979.01 + 924.06 = 5,964.96m

Therefore the bundwall height requirements are calculated as follows:

10,141.65m 3
Average Wall height (h) = = 1.7002m
5,964.96m 2

2 CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

Note that some bundwall sections may be higher than 1.700m due to the profile of the site with
some areas of the bunds being at a higher level than others.

NB: Careful planning should be taken with regard to Tank 1 and Bund D as this is the lowest tank
and bund hence the wall may need to have an additional 1m or so on the average wall height
calculated above (depending on measurements carried out on site)

In keeping with the regulations laid down in the code as well as good environmental practice,
we propose that the entire bund floors be sealed to prevent accidental spillages from entering
the underlying subsoil as the site is located next to the sea.

New bund drainage lines from the valved bund outlet chambers will be routed to the existing
separators before discharge to the municipal drainage system in keeping with good
environmental practices.
