Transformer oil
containment bunds
engineered in steel

Steel containment bunds for oil-filled transformers – from distribution units in compact substations to 100 MVA power transformers and data-centre installations. Welded or modular, leak-tested, and available with passive fire suppression and oil-absorbing rainwater filters. Supplied from Germany for projects across Europe.

Why steel bunds

Contain the oil.
Control the water.
Stop the fire.

A steel bund is a fast, factory-tested alternative to a concrete pit – especially where ground conditions, groundwater or tight deadlines rule out civil works.

Full retention

Sized for the complete dielectric fluid volume, plus rainwater allowance for outdoor sites.

Leak-tested

Weld seams checked by dye-penetrant testing; independent leak-tightness inspection on request.

Long service life

Hot-dip galvanised, stainless steel or coating systems to EN ISO 12944 up to C5-M.

Product range

Welded bunds for distribution and medium-voltage transformers – compact, single-piece, standard or custom shapes. Modular bunds of two to four connected units for power transformers from 10 to 100 MVA, reactors and neutral-point coils. Fire-suppression bunds with a factory-assembled baffle-plate system: burning oil drains through the plates and the flames die out without water, foam or power. Retrofit kits turn existing concrete pits (63 kVA to 400 kV) into passive fire-suppression systems.

Temporary bunds with a tubular frame (1.5 m modules, 60 cm high, up to approx. 117 m³) for storage, transport and maintenance.

Indoor installations and data centres

EN 61936-1 requires indoor oil-filled equipment to be fitted with a system that extinguishes burning liquid naturally. Standard fire-suppression bunds for 100 kVA to 3.5 MVA transformers meet this requirement, with PU coating to EN ISO 12944, beams designed to Eurocode 3, and optional insulation, noise-reduction panels and anti-vibration mounts – ideal for data centres, EV charging hubs and critical infrastructure.

Rainwater filtration

Outdoor bunds collect rain. Oil-absorbing filters made of an oleophilic, hydrophobic polymer discharge water continuously, retain hydrocarbons permanently (outlet < 5 mg/l, some models < 1 mg/l) and seal automatically in the event of a major oil leak. Flow rates from approx. 5 l/min up to 1,500 l/min; level and oil-presence sensors report to your control system.

Planning questions

Frequently asked questions

How large must a transformer containment bund be?

At least large enough to hold the full oil volume of the transformer. Outdoor bunds need an additional allowance for rainwater. We calculate the usable volume taking supports and internals into account.

Is a steel bund an alternative to a concrete pit?

Yes. Prefabricated steel bunds are installed quickly and are often more economical where excavation is difficult, groundwater is high or schedules are tight.

Do you deliver outside Germany?

Yes. We supply projects throughout Europe; please tell us the site location with your enquiry.

Can existing concrete pits be upgraded?

Yes. Baffle-plate fire-suppression kits with walkable gratings are manufactured to fit existing pits.
