Soft Covered IBC Bund for 2 x 1000ltr IBCs – BB2C | Outdoor IBC Storage Ireland

The BB2C is a complete outdoor IBC storage and containment system for 2 x 1000-litre Intermediate Bulk Containers. Combining a 1,140-litre polyethylene sump with a full-height structural frame and soft cover with roll-up door, the BB2C protects both your IBCs and your bunding compliance from Ireland’s year-round wet weather.

Why a Covered IBC Bund for Outdoor Storage?

Storing two IBCs outdoors without a cover creates significant compliance risk in Ireland. Accumulated rainfall in an open sump can reduce available containment volume to a fraction of its rated capacity within hours of heavy rain. With 2,000 litres of hazardous liquid overhead, losing sump capacity is not a theoretical risk  it is a regulatory breach waiting to happen.

The BB2C eliminates this risk entirely. The full-height cover with roll-up door provides weatherproof access to both IBCs, keeps the 1,140-litre sump free of rainwater, and protects IBC contents from UV degradation, temperature fluctuation, and contamination.

The 110% Rule: Does the BB2C Comply?

Under Irish EPA and EU IED regulations, the containment bund for hazardous liquids must hold the greater of: (a) 110% of the largest single container, or (b) 25% of the total stored volume. For a dual IBC setup storing 2 x 1000 litres:

  • Largest single container: 1,000 litres → 110% = 1,100 litres
  • 25% of total: 2,000 litres × 25% = 500 litres
  • The BB2C provides 1,140 litres  exceeding the dominant threshold of 1,100 litres

The BB2C is compliant for dual IBC secondary containment under Irish and EU regulatory requirements.

FAQ – BB2C Soft Covered IBC Bund

What is a soft covered IBC bund?

A soft covered IBC bund is a secondary containment unit with a fabric or soft-material canopy over the IBC storage area. It keeps rain out of the sump, maintaining full containment capacity for outdoor chemical storage in compliance with Irish EPA regulations.

How many IBCs does the BB2C hold?

The BB2C holds 2 x 1000-litre IBCs. The 2560mm x 1350mm footprint accommodates standard IBC dimensions side by side, with a single roll-up door providing access to both containers.

Is the BB2C compliant for outdoor IBC storage in Ireland?

Yes. The BB2C meets Irish EPA and EU IED secondary containment requirements. The 1,140-litre sump exceeds the 110% minimum for a single 1000-litre IBC, and the weatherproof cover prevents rainfall from reducing sump capacity outdoors.

Can the BB2C be moved by forklift when loaded?

Yes. Forklift pockets are provided and the BB2C has a 2,500 kg UDL rating  sufficient for 2 fully loaded 1000-litre IBCs. Always ensure the lifting surface is rated appropriately before moving a loaded bund.
