Bunding & drainage check

When you need this form

Service station forecourts sit on top of fuel infrastructure, and bunding plus drainage is what keeps a spill out of stormwater. Checks belong on the routine round and after any refuelling delivery, spill, or heavy rain: bund integrity, interceptor levels, grate condition, blocked drains and standing product. Environmental regulators and site owners take contamination seriously, so a network contract will ask how often you check and what you found.

Environmental incidents are investigated with dates. If product reached a drain, the first question is when the interceptor was last checked and by whom. A live record answers with a time stamp, a GPS pin and photos of the bund and separator on the day. Paper checklists in a site folder rarely survive that question, and they never roll up across a network.

What good looks like

• Bund integrity checked for cracks, gaps and accumulated water.
• Interceptor and separator levels recorded, with pump-out raised when needed.
• Drain grates cleared, with debris and hydrocarbon sheen noted.
• Photos of each bund and drain point, dated and located.
• Any product release escalated immediately, with who was notified recorded.
