Bunded vs Unbunded DG Storage
When bunding is required, when it is not, and how secondary containment is sized under AS 1940.
bunded vs unbunded dg storage
Bunded Containment
Integrated Bunding, Built Into Every Unit
Bunding is the defining feature of a DG container: a steel bund welded into the floor frame, sized under AS 1940 to hold the largest single container inside. The front bund wall ties into raised cross-members so a spill drops below the working floor, and a 316L stainless drain valve resists the chlorides and acids that pit a 304. SCS supplies the containerised, fully bunded alternative to an indoor cabinet.
Storage by Class
Storage Built to the Class
Every dangerous goods store comes down to matching the build to the chemistry. The three class-specific stores below cover the highest-demand applications, each engineered to the controlling Australian standard for the goods it holds.
Bunded Chemical Storage Containers
The containerised, bunded chemical store across single-class and mixed-class deployments, with custom fit-out and lining.
bunded chemical storage containers Flammable Liquid Storage Containers
Class 3 flammable and combustible liquid storage to AS 1940, with bunded floor and ventilation.
flammable liquid storage containers Corrosive Storage Containers
Class 8 acid and alkali storage to AS 3780, with chemical-resistant lining and a deep sump.
corrosive storage containers Class 3 & Class 8
Flammable & Corrosive Storage Solutions
Flammable and corrosive goods are the two highest-demand applications, and each follows its own standard. Class 3 flammable liquids are stored to AS 1940, with secondary containment, ventilation, and ignition-source control. Class 8 corrosives are stored to AS 3780, which adds a chemical-resistant lining and a sump at least 150 mm deep holding 25% of aggregate. The spoke pages carry the clause-by-clause detail and spec tables for each class.
In the Field
Where DG containers deploy
SCS DG stores deploy across mining, oil and gas, construction, and industrial sites wherever a compliant outdoor store has to sit close to where the goods are used. The deployments below are representative of the contexts the range is built for. Named operator and site metrics are confirmed with SCS at quote stage.
WA Goldfields Fuel Farm
Six 20ft AS 1940 bunded diesel stores delivered to a Goldfields mining operation as a relocatable fuel farm, placarded and spill-ready from the factory.

Construction Laydown DG Store
On a construction laydown the unit holds solvents and fuels through the build, then lifts to the next stage on its forklift pockets and ISO corner castings rather than being decommissioned and rebuilt.

Why Choose SCS Global for DG Storage
SCS is the only factory-direct manufacturer in this market: every other supplier in the segment is a hire company, reseller, or cabinet retailer. That matters when you are sourcing outdoor dangerous goods storage at scale, because the unit comes from the line that built it, with the engineering, the compliance work, and the Certificate of Compliance under one roof rather than marked up through a middle layer. Factory-direct pricing and a mid-size order sweet spot of roughly 20 to 50 units are where SCS outperforms larger manufacturers on service and project management.
Compliance built in
Compliance is what separates a true DG store from a painted box. Each unit's bund is sized to the secondary-containment rule, the doors and ventilation are built to the controlling standard for the class, and the Certificate of Compliance documents it. The same discipline runs back through our factory-direct manufacturing, QA, and weld inspection.
One line, the full class register
Class 3 flammable, Class 8 corrosive, chemical, and mixed-class hazardous storage containers all come off one line against one engineering baseline. We sell and ship these units rather than offering DG container hire, so each one is engineered to your goods and stays on your asset register.

SCS ships dangerous goods containers worldwide from our Yixing factory, managed from Hong Kong, with factory-to-port logistics into every market we serve. Each dangerous goods shipping container loads ISO-cornered and forkliftable into standard shipping slots, and arrives at your nearest port ready to relocate between work fronts.
Factory-to-port logistics
SCS coordinates shipping schedules, customs documentation, and port clearance as part of the factory-direct package, so the compliant store arrives ready to commission rather than waiting on a separate freight arrangement.
Lead times
Lead time depends on size, door configuration, fit-out, and DG class, and is confirmed against your specification at quote stage rather than quoted as a generic figure. A standard bunded box moves faster than a lined, mechanically ventilated, multi-class build.

Compliance
Compliance and Certification
SCS DG containers comply with AS 1940:2017, AS 3780:2023, and AS 3833:2024, and ship with an independent Certificate of Compliance per unit. AS 1940:2017 governs flammable and combustible liquids, AS 3780:2023 governs Class 8 corrosives, and AS 3833:2024 governs mixed-class storage where one unit holds two or more incompatible classes. Workplace hazardous goods storage duties sit under Safe Work Australia hazardous-chemical guidance and the matching state regulations. Each unit's bund is sized to the secondary-containment rule, the doors and ventilation are built to the controlling standard for the class, and the Certificate of Compliance documents it.

ABS FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Six questions procurement, operations, and HSE teams ask most often about DG storage.
What is a DG container?
A dangerous goods container is a bunded steel store for outdoor storage of flammable, corrosive, and other hazardous goods, built to AS 1940, AS 3780, and AS 3833:2024. It has a welded steel bund for secondary containment, a 316L stainless lockable drain valve, passive ventilation, and DG-class placarding. SCS supplies it in 10ft and 20ft, factory-direct.
What size DG containers are available?
SCS builds DG containers in 10ft and 20ft. The 10ft holds 17.4 m3 with an 800 L bund for light to moderate inventory. The 20ft holds 33.2 m3 with a 1,200 L bund, up to 39.8 m3 in the high-cube side-opening build for bulk drums and IBCs. Both ship high-cube and fully bunded.
What DG classes can be stored in a bunded container?
A bunded container stores Class 3 flammable liquids, 4.1 flammable solids, 4.3 dangerous-when-wet substances, 5.1 oxidising agents, 6.1 toxic substances, and 8 corrosives, subject to SDS compatibility for goods stored together. Mixed incompatible classes need AS 3833:2024 segregation, laid out in the build at order.
What is bunded storage?
Bunded storage is secondary containment built into the store itself. In a bunded shipping container, a welded steel bund under the floor holds at least 110% of the largest vessel stored, or 25% of aggregate for corrosives, so a leak never reaches the ground. Unbunded units rely on site-built external bunding instead.
What does a spill kit contain?
A general-purpose spill kit contains absorbent booms and pads, granular absorbent, a waste bag with ties, gloves and eye protection, and a response instruction sheet. It is sized to the bund volume and the largest single container stored. For how bunding and spill response work together, see our bunded vs unbunded DG storage explainer.
What does a chemical spill kit contain?
A chemical, or hazmat, spill kit adds neutralising absorbent for acids and alkalis, chemical-resistant gloves, and a chemically-resistant disposal bag on top of the general-purpose contents. Match the kit to the SDS for the goods stored.
