English term

conveyor bund

English to Portuguese Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems Water management
"Water for wash down, either of vehicles, workshops or conveyor bunds (referred to as Service Water)"

I know a bund is a retaining structure for liquids but have never seen this term applied to conveyors.
I would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks in advance.

área de captura (de derramamento) do transportador

The link below explains that a bund can be an area under a tank which contains the contents of the tank in case of leakage. I suspect, from the context, that the "conveyor bund" is an area under the conveyor to catch any spillage from it. And that this area can be washed with service water.
Example sentence:

A bund is an enclosure designed to hold at least 110% of the contents of a liquid storage vessel which it surrounds. Bunds are usually made of concrete, masonry or metail, impermeable to the liquid being stored.
