Overview
AQS Environmental Solutions delivers professional bund testing and repair services in Ireland for industrial, commercial, and public sector clients. Our services are designed to ensure bund systems remain fully compliant, structurally sound, and capable of containing hazardous substances at all times.
Bunds play a critical role in environmental protection. Any failure in containment can result in pollution incidents, regulatory breaches, and operational risk. That is why all bunds must be tested prior to commissioning and routinely inspected as part of a planned preventative maintenance programme.
Using proven testing methods and industry-approved repair techniques, we provide reliable, compliant, and cost-effective bund integrity solutions across a wide range of facilities.

Early identification and remediation of these issues is essential to prevent leaks and environmental incidents.
Bund testing and inspection should form part of a structured planned preventative maintenance (PPM) programme.
