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

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.
Sized for the complete dielectric fluid volume, plus rainwater allowance for outdoor sites.
Weld seams checked by dye-penetrant testing; independent leak-tightness inspection on request.
Hot-dip galvanised, stainless steel or coating systems to EN ISO 12944 up to C5-M.
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.
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.
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.
A photo of the rating plate and a sketch of the site are enough to get started.
Talk to an engineerAt 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.
Yes. Prefabricated steel bunds are installed quickly and are often more economical where excavation is difficult, groundwater is high or schedules are tight.
Yes. We supply projects throughout Europe; please tell us the site location with your enquiry.
Yes. Baffle-plate fire-suppression kits with walkable gratings are manufactured to fit existing pits.
