This project is aiming to investigate the current practice of bunds construction for oil storage tanks and provide the most adequate design can be used taking in consideration different criteria and construction aspects. Through this research Analytical hierarchy process were used to analyze the data collected from the current practice in oil and gas industry. In ideal situation constructing earth bund lined with High Density Poly Ethylene will be the best path to take. This research also explains and provides a certain steps that should be followed when building bund for oil storage tank by taking one tank as case study and design bund for it.
