Mobilized contained fuel to the field
CHALLENGE
The US Army Core of Engineers used non-transportable, round tanks; therefore, unable to mobilize into the field with fuel. As part of the solution, Western Global provided an innovative manifolded linking system to link the tanks, which required additional spill containment to be set-up.
When deploying a power plant to the field, fuel delivery had to coincide and often times they are unable to receive fuel for days, even weeks.
Solution
WG has provided 60+ of our WX Mobile 500s to the USACE, spread across three Companys (A,B and C Company). It provided each AMMPS generator kit with 2500 usg, 7 days of immediate supply. With stackable tanks that reduced their storage footprint. Also includes a linking kit, allowing the tanks to draw down evenly.
TIMELINE
AUGUST 2022 | Initial order of (45x) WX Mobile 500
AUGUST 2023 | Second order of (15x) WX Mobile 500
OUTCOME
Western Global provided a transportable, easy to operate, turn-key solution for their fuel storage requirement, allowing them to bring fuel immediately to the field, along with reducing their set-up time.
Response
“Alpha Company just brought our WX Mobiles to the field for their first test in a training environment. They are great! What makes them so special is 1) the secondary containment, 2) easily transportable, and 3) the one pump we added for every 5 WX Mobiles makes things easier”.
