This 10ft open mesh floor bunded store combines a 300mm raised Durbar sump with a hot-dip galvanised open mesh floor sitting above it — spills from stored drums and IBCs pass directly through the mesh and collect in the sealed sump below, keeping the stored containers above the pooled liquid at all times. The galvanised mesh floor carries a 7.5 kN/m² load rating, handling the weight of full 200-litre drums, IBCs, and heavy chemical containers without deflection. 12 vents provide the cross-airflow required to keep flammable, corrosive, and volatile vapour concentrations below hazardous thresholds, and the factory-fitted lockbox with double locking bars secures the contents when the site is unattended.

Why the Open Mesh Floor Is the Right Choice for Drum and IBC Storage
A 10ft open mesh floor bunded store is the correct configuration when stored containers sit directly on the floor of the bunded unit. With a flat floor or raised Durbar sump, any spill pools under the drum or IBC — the container base sits in the liquid, accelerating corrosion and creating an ongoing exposure risk for anyone entering the unit. The open mesh floor eliminates that problem entirely: spills pass through the mesh immediately and collect in the sealed Durbar sump below, while the stored containers remain elevated and dry on the mesh surface above. Stored drums stay intact longer, internal hygiene is easier to maintain, and spill cleanup requires draining the sump rather than mopping around containers.
The 7.5 kN/m² galvanised mesh load rating handles a full 200-litre steel drum at 240 kg, a 1,000-litre IBC at approximately 1,200 kg, and multiple smaller containers simultaneously without mesh deflection. The hot-dip galvanised finish on the mesh resists chemical vapour corrosion — standard mild steel mesh degrades quickly in acid vapour and solvent atmospheres. Note: airflow/ventilation requirements referencing the Dangerous Goods Storage and Handling Code should be verified against current legislation before publishing.
